Ramp Up Your Writing With This Technique
Medium made easy
I had a writing breakthrough and wanted to share it with you.
I joined a 30-day poetry challenge. You know the ones I mean.
I usually get off to a strong start, writing several poems in a burst of energy. Then I peter off and don’t finish.
This time I managed to finish all 30.
Hooray!
That was a real win for me.
I was curious, so I looked back and tried to figure out what I did differently.
I realized I powered through the prompts in short bursts, rather than trying to work for hours at a time. Some of them were random rants, but I used them too.
These short bursts gave me great drafts that are now some of my favorite poems from this year.
Here’s my step-by-step guide* to how I did it.
Fast and easy Tweets on Medium
You select text using the highlighter and choose the little Twitter bird when the little menu comes up.
It’s a quick and easy way to get more views on your Medium articles.
Here’s how I did it.
Below you can see I highlighted “I’m a miser when it comes to money.”
Then I sent it as a tweet.
It’s pretty slick.
If you try it, let me know how it worked for you.
Do you Tweet your Medium articles when you publish them or are you tired of the whole X thing?
What kind of challenges inspire you?
How do you stick with a challenge until the end?

I've always known this but never do it. Thanks for the reminder...off to Tweet things now lol.
That's a cool idea for those that have a following on Twitter. Mine is real small. I've tried using Twitter several times, but just don't enjoy the platform at all. Might try the highlight thing anyway, just to see what happens.
