Daily Writing FTW Reader Feedback

A longtime list member (and very successful consultant) replied to my last message to share the benefits of her daily writing practice (name withheld by request, shared with permission):

This is so true! But I would add that it doesn’t have to be formal writing, like a daily newsletter. I found the perfect watering hole a few years ago, and I spend a couple hours there every day, answering questions (in writing!). I’ve answered the same questions so many times, I could literally talk for 10 hours straight about this topic. I look up the references, I quote authoritative sources, and every time I do this, I’m burning that knowledge into my brain.

I was recently introduced by a colleague to his intern as “one of the foremost experts in the field of REDACTED” and this guy is highly regarded himself. Highlight of my year. And daily writing in that online forum is a big part of getting me there.

A couple of hours every day?! That’s pretty hardcore, but... I know it’s paying off for her.

Have you got your own daily writing story to share?

Yours,

—J
