Whether you should write consistently is an often debated topic.

Some believe writers can’t publish quality material if they have to adhere to a strict schedule.

Others have built giant empires by publishing their writing consistently. Some even daily.

The thing about consistency though, is it is not about your readers (most of the time). If you put out quality material, it will be consumed (assuming you’re distributing it correctly).

Consistency instead, is all about you.

It’s about building a new skill. Step by step. Brick by brick.

It’s about creating a system or a process to reliably produce ideas.

Consistency ensures that you can get through the highs, the lows, and everything in-between.

Consistency ensures that you don’t give up along the way.

Developing any new skill is hard, especially because if you care about becoming good, it will hurt when you are in fact bad.

So when you’re developing a new skill, practice it consistently.

When you’ve developed that skill, that is when you can take your time and make something great.
