The Single Best Action To Improve Your Writing
It isn’t easy, but it sure is worth it.
It’s been just over two years since I started writing online.
Every single day, after my morning coffee, I’ve made it a ritualistic practice where I’d open up my laptop, write for about ten minutes, and publish whatever stood out on Twitter.
Some days it’s a personal story. On others, it’s actionable advice. If it sounds really simple, that’s because it is. It has little to no friction and follows three simple actions: read, write, and publish.
This simple feedback loop alone has compounded extraordinary results over the past year: tens of thousands of followers, friendships from across the globe, and endless opportunities. The list goes on and on. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Not exactly.
It wasn’t until recently I realized this routine might have done more harm than good. My audience grew, but I felt that my skill as a writer and love for the craft were stagnating.
Writing, an activity that I always enjoyed as a child, finally reemerged into my life, brought me happiness, and unlocked doors I never thought were possible, only for me to push it back into the depths of my comfort zone and publish something that took just minutes to write.
