I'd like to say, I'd just continue how I am - writing about the things I want to write about, not branding myself or putting myself in a box. But, that being said, a million eyes is a lot of eyes and I think I would feel some pull to write in a certain way, about the 'right' type of things. I don't think it would pull me for very long because I'm stubborn and defiant but I think it would possibly remain there at the back of my mind. That thought of 'Am I doing this right?'

But, like many of the other commenters have said, if I reached a million then those million must like what I'm putting out so I just keep telling myself that until I believed it!

I think "am I doing this right" is on the minds of everyone from one subscriber to over a million. I hope we never lose that inner question, because it keeps our minds and hearts open and curious. It's what makes you good at what you choose to do.

I do get that but, for me, I think it can sometimes be debilitating and it can stop me from writing about what I actually want to write about because I have decided it's not 'right'. I would love to get to a point where I feel my writing is right simply because it is exactly what I want to write in that moment.
