Writing 250 articles on Medium has been like riding a roller coaster — thrilling, sometimes daunting, but ultimately exhilarating.

Looking back, I can’t help but marvel at the lessons learned, the growth experienced, and the moments that made me want to pull my hair out.

Here’s a peek into the wisdom gained from this wild writing ride.

1. Consistency is Key

“Success doesn’t come from what you do occasionally. It comes from what you do consistently.” — Marie Forleo

Think of writing as a gym for your brain. Just like you don’t get fit by hitting the gym once in a blue moon, you don’t become a better writer by writing sporadically. The secret sauce? Consistency.

Showing up, even when I felt like a creativity-deprived zombie, has sharpened my skills and kept my readers coming back for more. It’s like planting seeds and watching a garden grow — slowly, but oh so satisfyingly.

2. Embrace the Editing Process
