From Struggler to Pro: The Journey of Becoming a Prolific Writer

As a writer, you can impact others through your words.

But, many writers fall victim to the same three problems:

  • not knowing what to write about
  • feeling like they’ve already written about a topic
  • not knowing how to write about a topic.

However, everyone is an expert in something.

If you have experienced a problem, found a solution, and overcome it, then you are an expert in that area.

Think back to who you were one year ago, and consider all the skills, knowledge, and experiences you have acquired since then.

To someone currently in the place you were one year ago, you are an expert and someone worth learning from.

Write for that person, be their mentor, and guide them on their journey.

Don’t wait for permission; take responsibility for your writing.

Anything you have experienced, any obstacle you have overcome, or any topic you have learned about, to someone who is one year, one month, or one step behind you, you are an expert.

You are someone worth learning from.

So, turn around and give that person a hand by sharing your knowledge and experiences through your writing.

Remember, the key to becoming a prolific writer is to see yourself outside yourself and understand that you can impact others through your words.

So, don’t defer your responsibility; write with purpose and make a difference in someone else’s life.
