Have you STOPPED procrastinating yet?

Especially all you new writers? If not, I have something for you in this edition. Well, it's definitely doable but you gotta do it, alright? This 2-min read will make it easy to begin writing for 🫵

Hey You💜,

If you remember my post from two weeks ago..

Are YOU Procrastinating Writing Every Single Day?

I spoke about writing for yourself, right?

Well, I know it is can be quite daunting for you to write for yourself especially if aren’t getting paid to write 🤓

But here’s the truth…

We get lost in our thoughts more often than we would like to.

We think 300 words or 500 words is just so much to do.

Well lemme try to make it easier for you

There is a method to this madness.

MS: I loved trying out Kalaido.ai by Fractal. It is a home-grown brand with prompts in all major Indian languages. Try it!

Converse

Don’t write like a pro instantly.

Don’t write for your audience for now.

Just start by writing to a friend. (remember how you pick up the phone and send a long drawn text to your friend?) Do that!

Begin with - Dear XYZ … and end with Love ABC

You’ll find it much easier to begin writing. (especially on social media)

The idea is to make it fun while conversing with a friend.

(Wanna talk with a friend? You can always ping me 🤗)

Whether you discuss finances or politics or mental health or workplace challenges, anything is a story and a conversation with a friend.

💚 When you put a subject in front of you, you know your writing will flow.

💚 Once you have articulated all your thoughts in one piece, leave it.

💚 Come back to it after a few hours and see what you have written.

And then see …

🧡 Sometimes there are things your friend might not understand, remove it.

🧡 While reading you may feel you don’t resonate with it, remove it.

🧡 You may not want to write everything in one text, remove it.

This method of elimination will help you arrive at a piece that you feel connected with.

And this same principle applies to your content every single time.

There is nothing complicated about writing; it’s just that you don’t have the will to begin.

🤗 I maintain a diary or journey where I pen down my deepest and darkest secrets but that also gives me ideas to write about my next content piece.

🤗 I always address my writing to one person in a visual hope that they understand what I am writing.

🤗 And I do this every single day.

See, becoming a content writer is not an uphill task.

But… Becoming a Writer is.

Before moving onto a profession, start the process of writing.

If you cannot write for yourself in your spare time or think of ways to improve your writing, how will you do that for others.

You will get the opportunity to earn from writing, but get the basics of starting out right.

I hope this helps you start your journey today.

Until later…

Cheers,

Yours truly❤️
