If you have something to say, you need to get used to the fact that hardly anyone reads your work (or watches your video, or listens to your podcast) at the beginning. But post semi-interesting things consistently, and people will follow along.
When I think about why we write, I don't tend to think about the reader at first. I think more about what writing does and, by that line of thought, may very well get to the reader eventually... or perhaps not, as I don't think we always write for others.
Yet here, Ritchie points out that writing can feel lonely. Imagining who we want our readers to be might do some magic on the writing itself.
