The worst thing you can do as a writer? Try to sound like everyone else. We live in a world flooded with words—articles, posts, captions, newsletters. The temptation to copy a formula that “works” is strong. But here’s the catch: if your words don’t sound like you, they’ll never feel alive to anyone else. Instinct is underrated in writing. It’s the quiet voice that nudges you to take a risk, choose a rawer phrase, or tell the story the way you lived it, not the way you think it’s “supposed” to be told. That voice is where originality lives. The writers who leave an impact aren’t always the most polished. They’re the ones who dare to bleed honesty onto the page, to trust that their truth, messy, imperfect, human, will resonate more than any borrowed tone ever could. So write like yourself. Not like the person trending today. Not like the “expert” whose style you admire. You are not a photocopy machine, and your words shouldn’t be either. Because when you stop imitating and start trusting your own voice, something shifts: people don’t just read your words, they feel them. And that’s what makes them return for more. 💡 Believe in your voice. It’s the only one in the world that exists. Don’t waste it by trying to sound like someone else. #WritingCommunity #ContentCreation #PersonalBranding #Storytelling #Authenticity #CreativeProcess #ContentMarketing #BelieveInYourself #BrandVoice #ThoughtLeadership #WritersLife #CreativityMatters

When the words stop showing up. Writer’s block isn’t a myth. It’s the silence every writer dreads — when your brain feels like it has run out of ink. Too much writing can lead to no writing. 👉 The same thoughts replay like a broken record. 👉 The brain feels exhausted, even before the fingers hit the keyboard. 👉 Deadlines loom, but ideas refuse to cooperate. Writer’s block isn’t about laziness. It’s about overload. When you write every day — blogs, posts, ads, emails, your creativity sometimes hits pause. Not because it’s gone, but because it’s overworked. Just like any other muscle, the brain needs rest to rebuild. Here’s what I have learned: ✍️ Walk away from the screen. ✍️ Read something completely unrelated. ✍️ Scribble nonsense on paper. ✍️ Or simply do nothing for a while. Because often, the best writing comes after the silence. Writer’s block isn’t failure. It’s a reminder: even words need room to breathe. So the next time you’re staring at a blank page, don’t fight it. Step away. Reset. Return. The words will find you again. Writers, how do you deal with writer’s block when it shows up uninvited? #WritersLife #ContentWriting #Creativity #Ghostwriting #Marketing

I came across Nathan Ojaokomo's post during the weekend on how to beat writer’s block. My take is if you’re struggling to pen something down, it’s not about the writing, it’s about the thinking. The first step is to figure out what to say before you figure out how to say it. So, before you open a blank document, ask yourself. ✅Why am I writing this? What’s my objective? ✅What do I need my audience to take away? Why does it matter to the people I'm trying to reach? ✅ What’s my key take on the subject or issue? What's my point of view? Jot down these thoughts to find a focus and include some points in support of it. The more you think, the easier it becomes to write. You sharpen your focus Some writers (including me) develop our thoughts as we write. We may not always have a clear sense of what to say until we’re knee-deep in the water. That could make the “thinking before writing” idea counterproductive, but it’s not. Having a general sense of the direction of the piece and how it relates to your audience, even before it’s fully fleshed out, helps to narrow down your point. Once you do that, you sharpen your focus by knowing what to say and how to say it. What other writing tips would you suggest? #contentwriting

Nobody tells you these secrets—but they change everything for a writer 📚✨ Writing is 10%… editing is 90% → The real magic happens in rewriting, not the first draft. Writer’s block is normal → Every writer faces it, but pushing through is what counts. Readers connect with feelings, not plot → Emotions linger longer than twists and turns. Marketing starts BEFORE launch → Your audience should be waiting before your book even arrives. Consistency beats motivation → Showing up daily builds what inspiration alone cannot. Self publishing means being your own team → You wear every hat: writer, editor, marketer, and designer. #sanialaljee #threadsoflove #sabahatandbadal #authorjourney #writingtips

As writers, we’re often told: “Keep it simple. Make it clear.” And it’s true — in professional communication, clarity is powerful. A well-structured email, article, or report can solve problems faster than fancy words ever could. But here’s the interesting part — some of the greatest works of literature are complex, layered, and open to interpretation. They’re not just about clarity; they’re about depth, emotion, and creativity. So it makes me wonder: 👉 In today’s professional world, where speed and clarity are valued, is there still space for creativity and nuance in writing? 👉 Should professional writers always prioritize simplicity, or can complexity sometimes deliver more impact? I’d love to hear from content creators, marketers, and fellow writers — how do you balance clarity with creativity? #WritingCommunity #ContentWriting #Storytelling #Creativity #ProfessionalGrowth

Good writing doesn’t start with typing. It starts with thorough thinking. Here are 3 things I do before writing any article or post: 1. Ask: Who am I writing for? (Define the audience clearly) 2. Decide: What’s the one key message I want them to take away? 3. Outline: Jot quick bullet points, so the draft flows naturally. When you do this, the blank page doesn’t look scary anymore. It looks like an opportunity. What’s your go-to trick for overcoming writer’s block? #WritingCommunity #DigitalMarketing #ContentCreators #MarketingTips #LinkedInIndia

Writing Is a Lot Like Getting an Injection The other day, I went in for an injection. I was ready for it to hurt, but to my surprise, it barely did. Just a quick pinch and it was over. That’s when it struck me: the difference wasn’t luck, it was the practitioner’s experience. And writing works the same way. When done well, good writing feels effortless. The reader doesn’t stumble, doesn’t get lost, doesn’t feel the “pain” of trying to make sense of it. Instead, the words flow and the message lands clearly. But with inexperienced writing, even simple ideas can feel heavy, clumsy, and hard to get through. The lesson? Experience matters. Skilled writers know how to shape content with clarity, flow, and empathy for the reader. They make complex ideas feel simple. They remove the friction. Just like a well-given injection, good writing doesn’t hurt, it makes the experience better. #WritingTips #ContentWriting #WritingSkills #ProfessionalWriting #ExperienceMatters

One of the easiest traps for writers to fall into is trying too hard to sound like everyone else. We copy styles, formats, and tones because we think that’s what “works.” But the truth? What works best is YOU. Your voice is your signature. It’s the difference between being just another writer and being THE WRITER PEOPLE REMEMBER. Owning your voice means: ✅Writing the way you speak, with confidence and clarity. ✅ Not being afraid of simplicity because big grammar doesn’t always mean big impact. ✅ Telling stories the way you see them, not how others expect you to. ✅ Infusing your own perspective, even in professional or technical content. The moment you stop writing to impress and start writing to express, your words carry weight. People don’t just read them; they feel them. So, next time you sit down to write be it an article, a white paper, or even a LinkedIn post, ask yourself: Am I writing with my voice, or am I hiding behind someone else’s? Your voice is your power. Own it. ✍🏾 #WritingCommunity #ContentWriting #PersonalBrand #WritersVoice

The best writers aren’t great talkers. They’re great listeners. When I start with a new client, I don’t ask about metrics. I ask about their story. - What shaped them? - What problems do they solve daily? - What frustrations keep coming up in conversations? Because a single sentence they casually mention in a call often becomes the headline of a viral post. Writing isn’t about inventing stories. It’s about listening so carefully that you capture what they couldn’t put into words themselves. Great content doesn’t start with a blank page. It starts with ears open and ego closed.
