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, made friends, and started gaining clarity over what my niche might be. It has been a very rewarding (and challenging) journey, and I am more excited than ever to keep writing online.

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

1. Distilling Knowledge is a Powerful Practice

In order to write about something you need to clarify and distill the essence of it for yourself before you can share it. This has the benefit of you learning it more intimately in the process.

2. Lean Writing = Sharper Mindset

When I started writing atomic essays I became aware of all the unnecessary words I used in writing/speech/thinking. As a result, this Lean Writing approach has filtered into my Mindset.

3. Consistency is Key

Creativity is a fitness and no matter what the creative pursuit you need to keep showing up consistently in order to master it. Shipping every day was a tangible experience of getting fitter.

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