"Writing is hard, you're taking a bunch of grey matter in your brain, pushing it through your fingers and trying to tickle someone else's soul with your words." Damn, gurl! I need to talk like you, deliver my speech like you.

I haven't found many people who break down the basics like this, and as someone who is switching careers with zero experience, this content is exactly what I need. I just got hired for my first paid blog post, and this is great for wrangling all the ideas swimming in my head.

Closing remark at ...13:46 "Don't be too hard on yourself, writing is hard, you taking a bunch of grey matter in your brain pushing it thro' your fingers trying to tickle someone else's soul with your words, is the hard thing to do and even if you're trying that's amazing." I had to quote this Zulie, you are an amazing Author.

Thanks for putting this together. I've been entertaining the idea of writing more often (instead of just journaling) and was looking for example outlines to introduce some structure to my writing. I like that your outline breaks things down into three simple areas of focus. It might even be a good exercise to use the finished article as a starting off point for an even more in-depth essay. Cheers, and thanks again! 😊

Very cool idea. I usually work off of bullet points. I remember when I wrote an article for a major magazine years ago. The editor did not like the direction and just responded with a bunch of questions that he wanted answered in the article. So, using the Socratic method and just asking a bunch of questions about the subject you are writing on is another great way to find a structure.

I don't think that works. But you can do it the other way around. Just make sure to use a canonical link in that case!
