Write about what you love until you love to write
Most first-time writers put pressure on themselves to write the perfect post.
But this is the worst way to get started writing.
Instead, copy a framework from one of Naval's most famous quotes:
Naval Ravikant says “read what you love until you love to read.”
Reading what you love helps build a habit of reading.
Because if you love what you’re reading, opening the book will require less motivation.
And the easier something is to start, the more likely it'll become a habit.
The same applies to writing. The best way to get started:
Write about what you love until you love to write. Fall in love with writing by writing about topics you truly care about.
This will help you gain the confidence to publish. And it will help you to find your voice.
So how do you find topics you'll love to write about?
Try answering these questions to get started:
➤ What topic could you talk about for 20 minutes without preparation?
➤ What are you deeply passionate about? Why?
No matter the reason why you want to write, make sure you start with something you care about.
Once you learn to love the process — and build writing into a habit — you can tackle more difficult writing topics.
