Stop overthinking.
Finally start writing in 2022.
The constraints you need to finally start writing consistently.
All beginner writers face the same 10 problems:
If you’re reading this, chances are one (or more) of these problems are keeping you up at night (and keeping you from writing online).
And chances are, you know you should be writing – which is why you’re one this page in the first place.
Whether it’s to improve your thinking, accelerate your career trajectory, or help you quit that job you hate, writing is something that’s been on your list for a while. â€
• Distractions
• Over-editing
• Perfectionism
• Procrastination
• Self-confidence
• Generating ideas
• Impostor syndrome
• Writing consistently
• Choosing a platform
• Finding time to write
The accountability you’ve been missing.
Maybe you’ve tried writing before. But, time and time again, you fall off. Something comes up. What starts off exciting becomes too difficult. And before you know it, you’re back to square one.
â€
But this is because there was no accountability.
â€You tried to start writing on your own, almost doomed from the beginning.
â€
But Ship 30 for 30 solves that problem. You write alongside hundreds of other writers all with the same goal as you: to start writing and publishing consistently.
This creates accountability unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
Demolish your bad writing habits.
There are 3 killers of great writing.
Bad Habit #1: Overthinking
So many talented writers think success is about having the best ideas. It’s not. We have learned the best ideas come as a RESULT of producing a TON of ideas. Which means not overthinking the process.
Bad Habit #2: Over-editing
Have you ever re-written and edited a piece of work for so long, you started to hate it? This is one of the most common challenges among writers. They spend so long on a piece of writing that by the time they “finish†it, they hate it—and then never end up publishing it as a result.
Bad Habit #3: Falling out of practice
As soon as you skip a day of writing, it becomes easier the next day to skip again. Skip enough days in a row, and you’ll forget you ever had a daily writing habit in the first place. Getting started (or started “againâ€) is the HARDEST part for writers.
Stop publishing into the void.
The biggest mistake early writers make? Publishing weekly blog posts into the void. In the beginning, you think you know what you want to write about, and you think you know what people want to read.
â€
But newsflash: you don’t.
â€
With this assumption, early writers enter a sloth-like feedback loop, which makes writing consistently impossible.
â€
Instead, you want to make noise and listen for signal.
By writing 30 essays in 30 days, you work through months worth of ideas. And by leveraging platform algorithms like Twitter, you get immediate feedback on your writing.
Stop lurking.
Start creating.Let’s be honest.
If you’re reading this, you know you should be writing online. Since “start writing†found its way onto your to-do list, you’ve seen dozens of others do it successfully, building audiences, launching businesses, and unlocking new opportunities in the process.But for some reason or another, you’ve been putting it off. And it’s probably some combination of procrastination, perfectionism, the fear of hitting publish, or thinking you have nothing worth saying.Luckily, Ship 30 will get you to the other side. From lurker to contributor. From consumer to creator. And once you make the leap, you’ll never look back.
No more blinking cursor on a blank page.
