What I Learnt From Writing Over 500 Articles in Two Years
Writing takes time to master
Since I joined Medium towards the tail end of 2017, I have written over 500 posts on the platform.
That is a lot of writing!
The funny thing is I never intended for things to turn out this way. My plan at the time was to use Medium as an alternative to my main blog. I was going to write articles that explore travelling from a different angle and might be suitable for a travel blog.
Well, that didn’t last very long. My first article on Medium focused on ways to make a difference when travelling. It’s not the best article I’ve ever written, but I leave it to remind myself how far I’ve come.
Since that first article on Medium, I deviated away from my original plan. I realised I had a lot more to write about than just travel. I had a lot of ideas floating around my head that I needed to release.
It was a spur of the moment decision to start writing on Medium, but I’m glad I did. Writing here every day has solidified my writing habit and made me love the craft even more.
I thoroughly enjoy writing articles and I’m blessed that I get to do it as my full-time job. After working in an underwhelming job in an office, it’s a dream come true.
