1. Start With a Brain Dump

I really struggled with coming up with an idea each day.

The Endless Idea Generator from Typeshare didn’t work for me. I needed a seedling of my own. After the first week, I realized I could find my seed by free-writing non-stop for about 600 words, not worrying how it sounded.

This produced something I could start working on.

2. Create Structure with ChatGPT

Quite often, I would take this word dump and append the following ChatGPT prompt:

Using the words and concepts from above, please write a short atomic essay, under 300 words long, about [my topic]. Write it with 3 headlines, and under each headline a 1-3-1 structure, with one informative sentence, a paragraph with 3 sentences about the headline, and 1 final sentence that brings it together. As much as possible use my words and tone of voice from the story above.

After ChatGPT, I had something I could edit and revise in Typeshare.

3. Learn how to Practice, Because Then You Know the Path Forward

For all of you who joined me in this journey, thank you.

I noticed that the real magic comes from the interactions, which will be my focus next time. But this time, I spent my focus just writing, and not even on headlines or hooks. My breakthrough was learning what consistent writing habit looks like.

It's not like riding a bike yet, but once you know how to practice, then you can improve, and if you can improve you can make anything happen.
