“Writing is by far one of the easiest things to do”.
He thrashed my whole writing career in one go by saying that.
I do not think I’d get over this statement ever and I do not think writing is easy. It started taking a toll on me. I felt helpless. Thrashed. Beaten down which led me to overthink a lot more about my writing.
Putting sentences becomes a pain in the as*. Now it’s even harder to write. Getting knocked down by someone’s criticism and getting up to do the same thing again is the hardest thing.
I started scrutinizing more over the idea of writing online, turned out i am struggling to produce a tremendous amount of content than before.
This has destroyed my pace.
One of the worst things about producing an insane amount of content is you get to choose quantity over quality. Someone rightly said if you are in the game of online writing, you need to produce a shitload of content because in the end “volume wins”.
But there is often a question that gets asked multiple times what should I do so that my quality doesn’t wane?
The answer is simple you need to consume enough content in order to enter into the flow state while writing.
Many of us grapple with the idea of getting our minds to a state where it generates fresh ideas. But real writing demands a cue that triggers your mind to produce content effortlessly.
Buckle up because down below I am going to drop some pointers and frameworks that will help you produce content effortlessly.
Number #1: Get ideas/stuff/stories
what separates the good writers from the pack boils down to their simple storytelling skills and potential to generate countless ideas on what they can write about.
You should have enough knowledge about the topic.
It’s simple: To create a masterpiece, you need to write better and to create better you should have great ideas and ideas don’t stem from sitting on the couch and waiting for inspiration to strike.
You need to get out of your comfort zone, face challenges and bring down your experiences of overcoming challenges on paper. That what will set your writing apart from the rest
Comfort zone is where your writing does not catch inspiration. You often end up having dull ideas and when you bring those ideas onto the paper, it resonates with no one. comfort zone kills your writing.
To pull off a brilliant win in the writing domain can only be done through sharing ideas that strike a chord with your audience.
Number #2: Articulate sentences that blow people’s mind
The next thing that is highly recommended is to write with the flow.
Top performers do this all the time, they get into a flow state which is the key to formulating impeccable sentences.
The whole point here is to write sentences that stand out.
Have a rhythm in your writing.
Write music.
Write dope sentences.
I am talking about tune-in writing. It should be in this manner that it blows people’s minds.
It should make them feel something.
Because that’s what in the end makes your audience stick to your writing.
Number #3: Stop seeking perfection
There is no guarantee what sounds perfect.
Perfection kills Growth. when I started my writing, I got a deep-seated belief that everything should be perfect. Every sentence that does not sound perfect, I try to waste too much time on carving out perfect sentences. what I have learned from my experience is that what sounds perfect does not always guarantee virality.
Many writers on social media preach about putting your best work out on platforms. I see this advice as naive. However, I prefer quantity as my go-to strategy for seeking traction online.
Bottom line
Implement the above strategies that we have learnt. Remember execution is the key. if you don’t execute, you will not have ideas on which you can write about.
Here are the key takeaways.
- Get ideas/stuff/stories
- Articulate sentences that blow people’s mind
- Stop seeking perfection
Make your writing stand out by implementing this framework.
