Hey guys,
I've been somewhat obsessed with blogs and posts. It was one of the main sources of my learning. And I recently started to focus on improving my writing.
When I saw @msilb7 Michael Silberling blog, his posts were easy to read and understand. It should be first the goal of every post.
He shared his tips when writing:
1. Pre-work: When having an idea, start brainstorm during normal day-to-day. Think about what is the main point, and where it came from.
2. Start writing: Start dumping those ideas as bullet points (without formatting). Then, arrange them to structure the story. And start writing from top-down
3. Editing: Remove things that unnecessary, or disconnected (for readers). For better results, leave an hour or a day before editing to refresh your brain.
Also, a good piece of advice from @8bit when writing
start in small, bite-sized pieces. simple thinking is hard.
i don't do any "pre-work" and i don't do much "editing".
it's hard enough to just do #2, you know?!
Hahah, that's true.
Posts on your blog are pretty short and easy to follow through.
Many people (plus me) write like dumping everything into a post which makes it hard to follow through.
mmm. so, start in smaller, bite sized pieces. simple thinking is hard.
👍 Thanks for the advice John!
lmk if there's anything else i can do!
