How I’m writing now

1. Write a brief draft blog post as a series of 3–4 tweets, one paragraph per tweet.

2. If it gets interest on Twitter, copy the content to a Medium blog post, add more detail and graphics, if required. I’ve read that people are more likely click on a blog post if it has a photo or an image but I’m not sure that’s the case any longer.

3. Send the draft blog post to a tech startup news outlet editor and invite them to run it as an opinion editorial before it’s published on Medium.

4. Publish it on Medium.

5. Add it to my monthly Substack email newsletter (though I often forget this step).

I think starting as a series of tweets is reducing the writer’s block I get when I start from a blank page.

I’d be interested to hear whether this works for you too.
