✍️ How To Be A Good Writer

[Good = People will pay money / attention for your written words]

1) Have Some Personality And Express It.

I write how I talk.

When I give professional speeches, I speak how I talk.

If you listen to my daily Work On Your Game MasterClass, you’ll have a good feel for who I am — because I talk on the mic exactly how I would talk to you in person.

My written and spoken “on camera” persona has been honed over years of creating content, explaining myself, answering questions, and helping people understand what I understand from my perspective.

I have a specific angle and approach.

If someone reads your stuff regularly, and your name is missing from the next thing you put out, your regular readers should be able to tell that it came from you without even seeing your name.

When people read your stuff, they should hear your voice at the same time.

This is what happens when you have captured your personality in the written word.

Most humans have personality; not all of them express it in their writing. The barrier: Trying not to offend anyone.

Vanilla is only good for ice cream and Oreo filling.

2) Ditch ChatGPT.

I know it’s all the craze these days. I use it for some things, like providing me with a list of ideas when I am pressed for one.
