After working with 20+ new writers on Project Medium, I’ve found that when writers start putting their work out there in front of the world, there are three mistakes they commonly make.

In this post, I’m going to dissect these mistakes and discuss actionable tips on how you can get past them.

Before we get started, here’s a link if you’d like to watch the same in video format.

1. Lack of consistency in writing

I understand you might have a full-time job, a family, or your studies to take care of. You can’t publish a new article every day. It’s just not possible.

But if you want to be a writer, it’s essential that you practice your writing muscle every day.

If you can’t find time to write a full-length article, write something in your journal. Write the 280 characters of a Tweet. Write a thoughtful comment on someone else’s article on Medium.
