If Nobody Is Reading Your Writing, You’re on the Track to Becoming a Writer

The point of practicing is to hone your craft. To improve day by day, week by week, month by month. You don’t become a New York Times best-seller by showing up once.

The same is true for aspects of writing. You don’t come up with amazing ideas by thinking one time. All great ideas are practiced.

Writing is about daring to try. It’s about flirting with different ideas, styles, practices to learn what you love and what works for you. If you try one way and stick with that without daring to step outside the line, you risk stagnating.

Try the things that make you uncomfortable. Write a headline that makes you wince. Push yourself with the ideas you generate.
