Writing is Like Riding a Bicycle. To Keep Your Balance You Must Keep Moving The Pen

Einstein never thought of this, even though gravity has a lot to do with it

There are a lot of books about writing and the techniques you can use to develop it, but the most impressive breakthroughs come from a single fact; nothing propels you forward more than the simplicity of daily writing.

I am not taking the side of teaching how to write because I am also a student, but I share what I have learned so that we can grow together.

The other day I was waiting for the bus, and a person with his bicycle was also waiting.

And like all writers, I began to rationalize: Where does that person think he will sit the bicycle on the bus?

Ahh! I remembered that the buses have a platform on the front for the bicycles.

My curiosity led me to think about the complexity of the mechanism because of what a big problem it would be if the bicycle fell.

And I waited to see how the cyclist secured his bike before getting on the bus. Maybe one day I’ll need to do it too.

I even tapped myself on the head when I realized the simplicity of the mechanism — a metal frame to balance it and a hook to keep it secure.

Sometimes we give many turns to the matter when the most successful solution is in the simplicity of the action, and to master writing, the simplest thing is to write daily.

And think about this: by writing a lot and publishing, you improve and expose yourself to criticism that taking it from the student’s side does you very well because how will we learn if nobody tells us if we are doing it right?

And this is where “Einstein’s gravity” comes into play.

By exposing your writing on social platforms, gravity will attract opportunities for you.

Opportunities will open for you to monetize your writing, get invited by influencers and other recognized writers to their channel, and even reach clients who ask you to write for them.

And all because you cultivate the simple habit of daily writing.

The million-dollar question that I asked myself initially: Where will I get so many topics and ideas for articles, blogs, and everything required to write daily?

Do you know how useful it is to keep a Journal? To save and meditate later on your experiences and everything you learn, live and reason daily. In short, for your own sanity.

A note system can help you just the same.

It can help you connect ideas or even give you inspiration for new ones — in the present and the future.

Learn to distinguish concepts from simple arguments or readings. Everything you read or see has the potential to give you an idea that you can interconnect with a daily need and find the solution.

Every idea comes from curiosity.

Let your curiosity lead you to the truth of your interest.

Today, with so much information in the palm of your hand and with good Wi-Fi, you have the possibility of discovering the innermost talents that you were never able to dream of doing.

Think of “YouTube University”

You can find any training or guide to develop your talents beyond your imagination.

It may be coding, graphic design, or journalism. Remember that writing has an important place in each of them.

All you need is to discover a talent or interest and give it enough time to get to know it well until you master it. And gravity will do the rest, attracting you to success.

And it all starts with deliberate action and daily practice.
