10 counterintuitive truths about modern writing only the top 1% understand

You only truly understand some things about writing if you’ve been writing for a long time.

Here’s what I can tell you…

1. The days I least feel like writing are my most important days.

That’s where I prove my chops as a writer with the guts to hit send.

Here’s where you begin to separate yourself from the ‘only-motivated’ masses.

2. Some of my best writing is about dull topics.

Seemingly mundane focal points stir readers to life because they are relatable.

You can make almost anything enjoyable when introducing relatable conflict (like the tedium of putting on your socks every morning), higher stakes, and an actionable lesson.
