The hardest part of writing

The hardest part of writing isn’t writing itself, but thinking.

Half-baked thinking leads to half-baked text.

Instead, complete thoughts are the foundation of good writing.

Spend a large amount of time gathering evidence:

• The actions you have taken.

• The projects you have completed.

• The lessons you have learned.

• The people you have met.

• The stories you have remembered.

Then assemble them in an outline. The more evidence you can put together in the outline, the easier the writing becomes—it’s just the assembly of your thoughts in a logical order.
