Let’s see what happens
Most people take writing too seriously. They act as if there’s a right way and a wrong way to do things.
They hesitate before they write, second-guess themselves, and brace for judgment before anyone has even read a word.
Every piece of writing is a test. An experiment to see what works.
You can’t fail in writing if your only goal is to see what happens:
→ “Let’s see what happens if I start my post with a question.”
→ “Let’s see what happens if I cut my introduction in half.”
→ “Let’s see what happens if I take a dry topic and add a story.”
→ “Let’s see what happens if I remove the first two paragraphs and start in the middle.”
Some experiments will work better than expected. Others won’t. Either way, you do more experiments.
Because this is a test. This is only a test.
There is no downside.
Try everything!
