2 Simple Ways for Creative Entrepreneurs to Improve Your Writing
Hey guys!
I'm always looking to improve my writing and I came across this UChicago series about becoming a better writer. Now, granted, he was talking in reference to academic papers, but the major lessons hold true.
As kids, we were taught to write in a to demonstrate that we understand a topic. And we were graded by a person who was paid to care about our writing.
CUT TO the real world, and no one cares about our writing. And no one cares that we understand a topic.
The video addresses two major points:
1. Write with the intention of changing the way someone thinks.
We don't want to show people how we think, we want to change the way people think about a topic. This type of writing is Valuable, which is the highest compliment someone's writing can get.
2. Write to help You Think.
Writing is the best way to articulate the thoughts in our minds. To put thought onto the page forces us to come face to face with how we think of the world.
There were many, many more points from this lecture. I have linked the full video down below. Enjoy!
