Keeping At It

Every so often, I come across a book or an article that makes me go “I wish I could write like that” Their words flow effortlessly and in a way that hits deep. They say things that are on my mind but in a way I couldn’t even articulate it to myself. I admire people with that kind of clarity of thought.

I’m not someone that shies away from sending a cold message to a stranger. Typically along the lines of “Loved your article, would love to learn more about your approach to writing”

The answers are (un)surprisingly consistent - Keep writing till you find your voice. You gotta be bad before you’re good.

Every time I ask this question, a part of me hopes to hear a hack. The other part of me already knows what the answer is going to be. The only way out is through. Gotta keep at it to get better.

So we fight on, one article a week till I get better at communicating the same 3 things I know about life.
