How To Become A Popular Writer On Medium

We need good writing more than ever; not just on Medium, but everywhere.
We’ve gotten used to the word “content” instead of “writing” and there is some loss there. Not that you can’t be moved by great written content online, I certainly have been. But it just seems sad that we need another word for writing.

1. To be a popular writer, you must write.
You can’t read about writing (instead of writing), watch videos about writing (instead of writing), listen to podcasts about writing (instead of writing), take classes about classic literature (instead of writing) or argue about what word processing software to use (instead of writing). To be a writer, you must write.
