Dear writers,
Focus on the smallest idea you can find.
Don't try to explain your entire worldview in one article.
Focus on the smallest idea you can find instead — which you can explain in one sentence.
Brick-by-brick, article-by-article, you will build a Colesseum of ideas.

Too many beginner writers pick big topics like "Everything You Need to Know About the Stock Market" and "Artificial Intelligence in the Digital Age." Then, they get stuck because their ideas can expand in an infinity of ways.
Big ideas are paralyzing.
Write about small ideas.

As you write, you'll unlock a kingdom of ideas you wouldn't have seen before putting your pen to the page.
