For many writers, the idea of being recognized as a top writer on Medium seems like an unattainable dream. It was for me too until I decided to take up a 30-day challenge that would change my writing life forever. This experience opened my eyes to the possibilities and potential that every writer possesses.
The concept behind this challenge was simple: write and publish one article every day for thirty days straight. This might seem daunting at first, but it’s not about creating perfect articles each time; instead, it’s about consistency and growing your writing skills.
On the first day of the challenge, I stared blankly at my screen with zero followers, zero claps, and zero recognition. However, I knew that this journey wouldn’t be easy from the start – if anything worthwhile ever is. Each day brought its own set of challenges: finding inspiration when none seemed to exist, battling self-doubt over whether anyone would read or appreciate what I wrote, struggling to meet daily deadlines while balancing other responsibilities.
Despite these hurdles though, there were also moments of triumph along the way. Every clap on an article felt like a victory; every new follower was a sign that people were starting to notice my work; each comment provided valuable feedback and encouragement.
Over time, I began noticing improvements in my writing style and thought process. The more often I wrote about different topics from various perspectives, the more versatile I became as a writer. My vocabulary expanded significantly as did my ability to articulate complex ideas clearly.
By consistently showing up each day during those 30 days — no matter how uninspired or tired I felt — not only did my writing improve tremendously but so did my discipline and perseverance which are crucial traits for any successful writer.
At the end of this 30-day journey from zero to hero – well in this case ‘Top Writer’, it wasn’t just about gaining followers or earning claps anymore; it was about the transformation I had undergone as a writer. This challenge pushed me to step out of my comfort zone, test my limits, and ultimately helped me discover my true potential.
I can confidently say that this 30-day Medium challenge has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my writing career so far. It took me from being an unknown writer with zero followers to a top writer on Medium with a growing audience who appreciates and values what I write.
If you’re looking for ways to improve your writing skills or make your mark as a writer, I highly recommend taking up this challenge. The journey might be tough but trust me when I say – it is worth every single word.
