1. You need direction (so you can focus and write efficiently.)
Start by filling out a writing brief for yourself. It doesn't have to be super detailed or fancy. I have a template you can buy here: gumroad.com/l/creativebrief
2. From your brief, start working on your outline. Start in the middle and build out your sections with bullet points.
1. Writing is a neuron-pumping activity that challenges your brain to translate shapeless ideas into logical, syntax-conforming sentences.
It’s mental gymnastics when you have to take a fuzzy concept and transform it into words.
2. It changes your vocabulary, as you have to find the right words that match up to your ideas.
3. It changes the way you speak, as it forces you to work on sentence structure, composition, and general idea communication...which informs the way you sound OFF the page as well.
-It feels weird to write about yourself.
-You're not sure what exactly to share.
-Do you use 'we' or 'I'?
-What's too much info? Or too little?
-How do you make it less about YOU and more about the person reading it?
THREAD!
1/ This is often one of the first places you'll make an impression on someone looking to learn more about you. So it's IMPORTANT.
It's also one of the very few pieces of internet real estate where you can talk all about YOU.
So...you should capitalize on that.
2/ The thing is: So many people struggle when it comes time to write this page.
So they make it ultra-brief.
Or they go WAY long.
Or they forget to tell a story and just summarize their resume (bleh).
