6 Advice, From A Former Shipper, To Make The Best Of Your Ship 30 For 30 Digital Writing Experience
This Will Be One Enriching Writing Ride!
Hey writer!
Did you just join the next cohort of Ship 30 For 30? - a cohort-based digital writing course by captains Dickie Bush and Nicolas Cole.
Here are 6 advice from a former shipper to make the best of your Ship 30 For 30 experience.
Just write and share.
Don’t worry about the quality of your writing when you are trying to learn a new skill or create a writing habit.
Stick to the 250-300 word limit, give your best and leave the rest.
Take it one day at a time.
Writing every day for 30 days can be overwhelming for many. Which is why you shouldn’t think about the 30 days.
Just think about the current day, write your best, and post it.
Have 3-5 broad topics ready at hand.
Mine was Life Lessons, Writing/Creative Life and Books/Reading.
Knowing what you could write about helps you not run like a headless chicken.
Make the most of the Onboarding Week.
Before you even start the main journey of Ship 30 for 30, you’ll have an Onboarding Week.
Use the lessons you learn this week to prepare yourself for the next 30 days of writing adventure.
Block time to read other shippers’ essays.
My mistake during my cohort was not blocking time to read atomic essays by fellow shippers each day.
30 minutes, twice a day, is enough.
Don’t let Twitter analytics go to your head.
As the days go by, you’ll notice a massive growth in your Twitter engagement. This is because you are part of the Ship 30 community, which helps each other grow.
But don’t think this initial jolt will sustain you for life.
The main Twitter fun will begin AFTER Ship 30.
