- Focus. Be a full-time writer. Spend majority of your time reading and writing.
- Directness. Learn writing by writing. Set a schedule to publish a new article and keep it.
- Drill. Systematically break down each aspect of writing articles (headline, introductory sentence, transition, storytelling, and more). Put spreadsheets filled with examples of each segment. Test and refine your ability to perform each small aspect of the larger task.
