How do you write consistently?

I've been using the speech-to-text feature on my smartphone lately for all sorts of things such as notes, comments, and even full blog posts. It helps that it's always on me, and that it is very accurate (99% of the time), which kinda actually surprised me at first. Just as an example, this reply took about 45 seconds to write, and my fingers don't hurt hehe 👍😊 I no longer have no excuse not to write and often.

I think I can safely say that now I've developed a habit of writing a weekly blog article or something similar. There may be better suggestions, but one of the things that worked for me was that I first started noting down my ideas at the same moment they occurred to me. No matter how simple they were, or how many sentences it took to write them down. Later on, when I had time, I sat down and expanded on those same ideas, mostly after my regular work was done. During this process, I think I developed a skill on expanding on numerous topics I wanted to write about. Also, I gradually improved my process and am currently trying to allocate more time for research and proper structuring. Essentially, I focused on improving my writing skills day by day, and consistency kind of came along by itself.

Tip from our users on Surfaces.One: if you offer your followers weekly newsletters - you have to write at least once per week because your audience is waiting. It's a pretty motivating reason

Being curious about everyday life, reading about topics of interest and setting aside some time everyday to write are some ways to get started.

Hey Nithursan. Great question. I created a simple content plan in Notion and just perform it every day. I do it as my main work daily. Because writing content = getting new users = traction = growth.

Depending the size/type of writing. When I was preparing my thesis, I fixed myself a 3-pages a day goal, because I counted that there were only XXX days before my thesis defending.

Hey Nithursan, I've recently read "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield and for me, the biggest takeaway was that you just need to win the daily battle with resistance when it comes to creative work like writing. This means, writers need to be highly disciplined and establish their identity by doing the work. Every day. I personally set aside the first 30 minutes of every day to just write. This disciplines helps me to get through writer's block super fast. Hope these tips might help someone ✌🏽 Best, Louis

It does not need to be a habit. It never is, even for writers! Write when you feel like doing it. Don't write when you are not in the mood. That is the best way to avoid converting something you enjoy into a task you will hate later.

Read and replicate. Writing is more about replication than dedication.

Hi, @nithur Thank you for sharing this awesome tool for writing, I hope this tool will be helpful to those people who are struggling to enhance their writing skills. I am also an academic writer, Basically, I suggest this resource https://beatturnitin.com/ that can be helping students write unique articles and their various academic assignments.

I think writing is a craft that one needs to keep honing to become great. That makes it necessary to keep writing on a regular basis. One way that has helped me write consistently even on the tough days is to write whatever you feel like writing. This could even mean writing a book or movie review to keep the flow.

I make sure to book some time out in my calendar so I can hold myself accountable and not put off content writing! Also, I find changing my environment just to write is helpful for inspiration/focus.

I know the struggle of this as I was in that phase a few months back. I searched for a tool to track my writing progress but I couldn't find one. So, I built one myself. If you looking forward to building a writing habit, here it is: https://chrome.google.com/websto...

There's a book about it by Steven Pressfield, The War of Art
