Want to Improve Your Writing? Be Intentional
Post a CommentErik Deckers says that if you want to do better in writing (or in anything else for that matter), you have to be intentional with it.
What does that mean? Writing is one of the most intentional activities we can do. It’s not like shooting trick shots in basketball, or going for a slow leisurely ride instead of a training ride on your bike. You’re either writing or you’re not, right?
Actually, no, you can even screw around when you’re writing. It’s in your attitude, rather than your subject matter. It’s reading when you should be writing (and no, “I’m doing research” doesn’t count). You can be just as intentional writing an email as you are a novel, or writing a comedy sketch as you are a marketing piece. It doesn’t matter where, when, or how you do it. Chris Brogan will write wherever he can find the time. And I carry my laptop and a Moleskine wherever I go.

Hey Moleskiners, thanks for the plug! I’m a regular reader of the site anyway, so I was really excited to see my post on here. You just made my day. Thank you so much.
