3 Things I Learned Writing Online Every Day For 30 Days In A Row

To finally learn to call myself a digital writer

30 days ago, I signed up for Dickie Bush & Nicolas Cole's cohort-based course, Ship 30 for 30.

In that time, I wrote & published 30 Atomic Essays, learned the fundamentals of Digital Writing, made friends, and started gaining clarity over what my niche might be. It has been a very rewarding (and challenging) journey, and I am more excited than ever to keep writing online.

Here are the 3 biggest things writing & publishing consistently every day for 30 days taught me:

1. Excuse is Fear creeping its ugly head

The hesitancy to write is not about a lack of ideas or interest but the fear of failure. These 30 days taught me to embrace the fear of hitting publish every day to an extent that it becomes an involuntary action.

The framework taught in the cohort has been an immense help to weed out the hesitancy in hitting publish.

2. Consistency and Patience bring success

One thing that is common for many successful creators is the consistency to go along with talent.

Writing on the internet is a lot like fishing. A successful exercise in fishing involves a lot of patience and know-how of being consistent with the flow of the water.

3. Digital Writing is a Community Driven Process

Legacy writing is a lonely process.

Pounding on the keyboard in a dark room waiting for the genius inspiration to hit has been the traditional way of writing. I thought the same too.

Ship30for30 changed that for me. It introduced me to an amazing community that revels in each other's experiences and learnings.

I could write more about the learnings from this cohort but these 3 precisely reflect my thoughts.
