150 WORD ARTICLE
Be The Writer Not The Reader [XLI]
Or… Why you need to stop reading, and start getting to the place where you are the writer.
Some Advice
There is so much advice out there on the interwebs today — even in the small microcosm of The Medium Platform — there is a tonne of writing on how to write.
Advice is good for new starters — how to format articles, what works, what doesn’t, tone of voice, imagery, and all the more personal advice on what you should write.
I write on what I want to write, however, the key here is ‘Reflection’.
Write.
A lot.
And then see what works for you. You cannot just send an article into the ether and forget about it. Go back and look at the stats, the claps, the engagement, the format, and the wording.
Maybe then, you too will be writing a knowledgeable article on how to write.
The place that you need to get to is where you have the knowledge to write the article, not be the reader of the article.
