The first 50 things you write will suck more than Game Of Thrones season 8

write them anyway...

I've got to keep it real with you.


Your first 50 posts?


They’re gonna be awful.


Atrocious.


Abominable.


Appaling.


[I'm running out of bad words beginning with "A" lol]


But guess what mon coeur?


That’s the cost of becoming good.


You can't skip the ugly phase like I used to skip optional bosses in Dark Souls.


You write your way through it.


666+ articles in, I can promise you this:


The people who win aren’t the most talented —they’re the ones who don’t flinch when it’s bad.


Because every crap piece sharpens your voice.


Every rubbish sentence helps build your style.


Every “meh” post gets you one step closer to mastery.


So stop waiting to feel ready mon ami.


Write.

Post.

Repeat at least 50 times.


Then watch what happens.


Talk soon,

Godfrey


P.S. If you want to skip years of trial and error, Medium Mastery gives you the frameworks I wish I had back when I was a flailing fledgling.
