5 Ways To Electrify Your Writing And Make Readers Obsessed With You
How I stopped feeling invisible as a writer
We’re facing a bland content epidemic
Look around. All you see is the same tired advice regurgitated by content mills and AI tools until it loses all flavor.
The solution is to be original. But how do you do that? What if you’re not naturally bursting with fresh ideas? Does this mean you’re doomed to blend into the background forever?
I thought my writing was doomed. Until I discovered the secret that produced one of the best selling non-fiction books in recent years.
Yuval Noah Harari’s “Sapiens” captivated millions of readers worldwide, including brilliant minds like Barack Obama and Bill Gates. Yet Harari himself admitted something shocking in a New Yorker interview:
“I thought this book is so banal. There is nothing here that is new. I’m not an archeologist. I’m not a primatologist. I mean I did zero new research.”
This confession hit me like a thunderbolt.
Harari didn’t discover new information. He simply presented existing knowledge through a fresh lens that made readers see their world differently.
