Can writing too many drafts or trying to get our written web content too "perfect" actually deter us from wanting to write in the first place?

When writing seems an arduous chore, we are less likely to want to engage in it.

Just the prospect of having to spend hours and hours on a blog of 2, 000 words can be disconcerting, especially given that most of us are so busy and barely have the time to create a flawless finished product.

The aim of this is to motivate you to : when we make too much of a chore of creating content, we often struggle with it and just end up wanting to give up.

Read on to learn some tips on fast-tracking the process of writing!

The last page I need to create before moving on to the next lesson used to overwhelm me. But now, I am going to simplify it as much as possible. Even if it is a short page. I can always add more later and fill in more details. As I am only on Course 2, my blogs and pages don't need to be made in great detail. A simplified version is a great way to get started and to keep going. People are overwhelmed as it is with all the amount of info on the internet. I am sure some of them would appreciate - simplicity. My lifestyle motto is: Keep it soooo simple.

That's a great motto to live by, MyraBeth. Yes, life can be overwhelming so it's best to simplify things as much as possible ("kiss" principle, I think they call it!)

As Kyle says, we don't need to overthink keyword research or be a top author; as long as our content is well-written, presentable and well-structured overall we're on the right track. Hope you week is going well!

I didn't know that editing improves SEO - so that's something I've definitely learned. I always keep a pencil and notebook at the side of my bed (using notes on an i-phone is also a good idea - not sure if androids have this facility) as I often lay awake at night with thoughts of what I want to write about and writing them down helps me clear my head AND get some sleep.
