5 years ago, I could barely write a tweet.

Since then, I've written 12 MILLION words on the internet.

If I had to start over, here's exactly what I'd do to get really really good at writing really really fast...

*Tell your inner critic to shut its freaking pie hole and get the hell out of the building

*Read everything. Novels. Copy. Emails. Newsletters. Comics. Literature. Poetry. Tweets. Classics. Expand your mind beyond one world.

*Connect two random ideas. Bears... cool. Bikes... cool. A bear on a bike? WAY COOL.

*Screw grammar. It proves that AI didn't write it.

*Screw AI. Having AI write for you is like hiring AI to have secks for you. Why would you outsource your pleasure?

*Stop trying to write like someone else. Dan Koe already exists. Write your own crap.

*Stop trying to get paid for writing. Just write.

*Publish before it's perfect

*Long writing isn't boring, boring writing is boring

*Don't be boring

*If it's boring to write, it's boring to read

*For God Sakes Avoid Being Boring Do You Understand!?!?

*Never use "really" in your headlines...

*Then break every single rule by writing a headline that says "If I had to start over, here's exactly what I'd do to get really really good at writing really really fast..."

*Rules don't exist

*The only rule that exists is "don't be boring"

*Imitate until you can create

*Write just like your favorite authors until you begin merging a bunch of different styles that eventually becomes your style

*Use the PET method (Place Experience Time)

*Create a place you love to write (office? bedroom? coffee shop?)

*Create an inspiring experience (candles, coffee, lofi chill)

*Set a time to be in that place and flippin' write every day

*If you love where you write, you'll love to write

*If you love what you write about, you'll love to write

*Writers block only exists cause you're trying to write about something you either don't know enough about or you don't care about

*Delete TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, OnlyFans, ChatGPT, Messages, Phone, and Telegram from your phone

*Actually just burn your phone

*Then order a Minimal Phone from the guy on Twitter who makes them

*Then burn that too and flippin' write!

While we're on the subject...

I'm thinking about hosting a #21DayWritingChallenge.

Where everyday for 21 days, I will help you build a deep writing habit you never quit and teach you systematic storytelling at the same time.

If that sounds even remotely interesting to you...
