The Day You Become A Better Writer

This story is not about writing

Writers are the best.

They live with pure gold-hearted souls. They don’t intend to hurt anyone. They think clearly. They write clearly. I like writers. I might not like a designer, coder, or editor — but I do like writers.

Writing is what drives me. I can’t stop thinking how powerful it is. Writing moves people’s emotions, it moves their feelings.

But to write well, you need to practice it. And practice needs discipline. Furthermore, if you want to be disciplined, you need to take self-accountability.

It’s the only game with you, not with someone else.

Writing is not solely about money. Money is something that you earn from your work — it’s a by-product of your work.

There are bad writers who write crappy content and make so much money but are unhappy. And there are good writers who write “masterpieces” but barely make money but are so happy in their lives.

Good writing comes with daily practice. Good writing comes with daily reading. If you don’t read good content, I assume you write bad content.

You can’t think about the thing you don’t know.

There is a correlation between writing and reading — if you can master both — you become truly a great thinker and writer.

I can’t stop thinking about what writing has done for me — not from a money perspective but life as a whole.

I used to think “Life is so simple.” Get a degree, get a job, get married, have kids, and live the same life (mediocre, boring) as everyone’s living.

I was wrong.

That’s not the meaning and purpose of life.

And maybe you absolutely hate the job you’re doing — but you’re doing it because you have bills to pay and a life to survive.

But what’s even the point of doing a job that you hate every single moment?

Why you don’t try doing things that make you happy and make a living out of it? This would be more meaningful, right?

Average people don’t think about this.

But writing helped with this. Just because of writing — I truly started thinking about them.

  • Peace
  • Meaning of life
  • Purpose of life
  • Happiness
  • Deep thinking
  • Mind control
  • Your duty as a human

Writing helps you understand them.

There are so many things you can think about and the topic never ends. The things I just said are only the tip of the iceberg.

You become a better writer, the day you understand life.
