The question isn’t do you want to play it safe, but where are you playing it safe in your writing life? And why?

We all want some security and safety, but these feelings are always relative perceptions rather than objective realities. Given the same exact situation–such as achieving a freelance income goal, landing several anchor clients, or writing disposable first drafts–one person can feel secure, while another feels unstable.

Some people prioritize safety above everything else. Sometimes building safety is itself a goal. Sometimes learning to take risks is what’s necessary to reach a goal.
