7 Timeless Rules About Writing on This Platform
Stop pretending to be perfect.
This month will be my first anniversary of consistent writing on this platform.
I couldn’t feel prouder to be surrounded by as passionate and dedicated writers and readers like you.
To mark the anniversary of a personal milestone, I wanted to share practical and powerful rules for building a portfolio, audience, and craft on Medium.
Never Give Up.
I have recently watched Jennifer Lopez’s documentary on Netflix. It struck me how determined and persistent she was in chasing her goals.
People told her she was too fat, too exotic, not smart enough, and not skilled enough. It did not stop her from remaining true to her roots or ambitions.
It applies to everything in life.
If you want to be successful in a specific area — do not give up.
The world may tell you that you don’t fit, that your writing sucks, that you won’t make a living off it. Persist either way. If you feel the calling, it will take you somewhere special.
Today, you may have zero subscribers and zero articles published. That is the point. You have to be a beginner to become an expert.
