Yes, I did it.
I wrote every day, all year long.
That’s 365 days worth of ideas (some good and resonated with a few, while others, not-so-much).
After putting almost 100,000 words in this blog, I can say that the practice of shipping daily helped me get my ideas across faster than a year before.
It means consistently writing, even there are days I don’t feel like writing at all.
Indeed, the goal isn’t to write a hit but to write and write and write until somebody finds my work and tells somebody about it.
My heart is filled with joy to receive feedback from people who I never thought would pay attention to my work but do. And that includes you. So, thank you.
Thank you for sharing with me your time.
And I hope you’d still walk with me in this journey for another year (and another, and another, and another …)
It doesn’t matter whether you call yourself a “writer.” It doesn’t matter if you’re a singer or a traffic engineer.
Write more.
Write about your audience, your craft, your challenger. Write about the trade-offs, the industry, and your genre.
Write about your dreams and your fears. Write about what’s funny and what’s not.
Write to clarify. Write to challenge yourself.
Write on a regular schedule.
Writing isn’t the same as talking, because writing is organized and permanent. Writing puts you on the hook.
Don’t you want to be on the hook?
And if you have read it this far, here’s where it all began (my first ever blog entry).
