Make money doing the work you believe in
It’s true. I change my prose style—sometimes in extreme ways—depending on the subject, the context and the audience. I think that makes everything more interesting, both for the writer and the reader.
Reading Ted Gioia’s The History of Jazz, I’ve been shocked at how different it sounds from a typical Honest Broker post—just as sharp, but more scholarly, fancier sentences, etc.
I like both styles, don’t get me wrong. It’s a welcome reminder that good writers adapt to their audience and medium.
Meanwhile, I’m still posting poems on Instagram 😭
