30 days ago, I signed up for Dickie Bush & Nicolas Cole's cohort-based course, Ship 30 for 30.

In that time, I wrote & published 30 Atomic Essays, learned the fundamentals of Digital Writing, discovered inspiring people, and gained further clarity over my niche. It has been an enriching (and challenging) journey, and I'm more excited to keep writing online.

Here are the 3 biggest things writing & publishing consistently every day for 30 days taught me:

1. Preparation

I set myself up for success if I prepare in advance. Having an idea bank, starting the night before, or getting up an hour earlier helps me reach my writing goal.

2. Practice in public

My nemesis is imposter syndrome. Whenever I convince myself that no one will read what I write, I don't write. It helps me think of writing as an exercise and not an exam on which I will be judged. I'm just practicing writing in public.

3. Progress

Writing every day for 30 days shows me that I'm making progress. And that development feels good!

If you are also thinking about getting started writing online, let me know. I'm happy to share more about the experience and what I learned.
