Setting The First Writing Steps.

I mean, the inherent fear of having no skill and wanting to write a decent article.

Writing down ten titles a day, I can manage. When I find something to write about, I am hesitant. I take all my courage and start writing. I start with an intro and think about what else I can put in the article.

Then the big bad wolf comes on the stage. I get put down by my ego, the little voice in my head saying: “why continue? You know it’ll be of a despicable quality.”

Make free time and put those thoughts on paper

I’m done listening to the voice. I can research, the quality of my writing can improve.
The resolution must be hardened through habitual repetition of the skill you want to attain.
If there is no free time, make it mandatory to make free time.
Writing is a way of putting your thoughts on paper or a screen. I do it because otherwise, the same ideas keep repeating and repeating, growing dormant but then resurfacing like a giant mental tumbling dryer.

Quantity Beats Quality.

As the first writer (Khadejah, read her articles!), I started following on Medium wrote: “Quantity beats quality.”
In all honesty, I adore her. She managed to write a single article every day for the last 1–1,5 years! Nothing stops her from accomplishing her goals, and as such, she has written around 550+ articles. Where would she have been if she had been too afraid to start?

What is stopping you from writing when you are a true beginner with no or hardly any articles?
Every beginning is an arduous journey to higher skill levels.
Write one article at a time. Does it get 0 views and 0 reads? No big deal. You put your thoughts out there and practised your writing skills.

Write, write, write. Study, study, study.

Accept that your views will build over time. You will learn what readers want to see, what you like to write about and how to write it.
Your skill and experience can only go one way: not sideways, not down, but up, up and up.
Give yourself some time to study and examine other writers. Read their articles attentively and look at how they define and write their articles and how they play with words and flow. Make yourself a small study book on how to become a better writer.

Find the subjects you want to write about.

It may be hard to find something to write about, but if nothing pops up in your head, then go and do some research. You don’t have to know much about a subject — research, research, research.
Seek out your favourite subjects, and think of what problems can arise. Have people written about them before? No problem, give it your twist and do your research.
Maybe try to write a review on a book, an album, TV series or tool that you use. The possibilities are endless, and you only need a few things for it: your brains, your hands and something to write with and on.

Listen to those around you, not your own ego.

The little voice in your head telling you your writing sucks? Hush it. The real voices you have to listen to are people giving you constructive criticism. Do not be afraid to ask other writers for help, but connect with them first, forge bonds and help others.

The road to becoming a writer is a long and arduous one, but with the internet and the amount of research has at his fingertips, it isn’t impossible.
Stop listening to the voice in your head, do your own research and seek out what you want to write about and others to learn from. Do not be afraid to put your thoughts on paper. Make time to write and edit your articles and you’ll be off for a great start. It may take years, but if you never give up, you can attain the levels of those who you adore.

Remember: if you believe in yourself, you can do anything you want.

Humankind, over and out!
