You’re a businessperson. You may not think of yourself as a writer, but you know that writing well can boost your results and your career. Maybe you write a blog. You’re probably thinking about writing a book.
Naturally, you want to do better. Every week I point you to one or two pieces that I think will teach you something or spark an idea or two. This week I’m pointing you to pieces on writing smart content when you’re feeling dumb and content marketing tools.
From Pratik Dholakiya: How to Write Smart Content on Days You’re Feeling Dumb and Distracted
“It’s Wednesday morning, you barely slept last night, missed your morning coffee because you were running late, and are now sat in front of your computer staring at a blank Word file wondering what on earth you’re going to write about. You know you should get on with the task but your hands don’t move and your brain refuses to boot up. You’re longing for Saturday already, but it’s only the middle of the week.”
