That was a piece. Thank you for this article. It solved at least 2-3 problems from my writing.

The best one is let people know that you’re not perfect. Everyone wants to know what you suck at. And some of them (smart ones) want to know how did you fixed it

Thank you for the little tour of some of the features of Substack and explanations. Many of us (me included) skimmed/skipped the manual on a few things. 🤓

"Many people go to great lengths to present themselves as professionals.

They focus on serious subjects, use formal business language, and tend to give advice that is often obvious or not particularly helpful."

Haha! I used to do this, try to use formal language and be like everyone else. Not anymore. It's too much work to be fake, at least for me.

By being yourself, you become professional. I am professionally myself. I'm the best at it there is.

Writing requires continuous practice. The more you refine your skills, the better your writing becomes.

Eventually, you’ll start enjoying and embracing the journey of learning, which helps you grow at a steady pace.

Here’s my go-to writing framework that might benefit anyone:

Write a rough draft

Read it aloud

Pinpoint your mistakes

Refine and edit

Take AI’s help (only where needed)

Reread aloud

Post it wherever you want to

Is it simple? No

Is it possible? Yes
