Hey Kat,
great plan.
My goal for a post is: 1 Like.
That means one person learned something.
Because I learned the stuff anyway,
I only took my learned lessons and wrote them down.
And I repeated them by writing them down.
Have fun.
Thanks for sharing! That's a great way to look at it.
I really like this
Kat
The timing of this couldn't have been any better. I published my first post today after months (years) of putting it off because I struggle with everything you mentioned.
The positivity I've seen on dev.to is really what made me feel comfortable putting myself out there and getting started.
Thanks for the tips, links and general encouragement in your post!
Same here - the fact that dev.to is a bully-free zone really helped me get out of my comfort zone 💛
Totally love how you mentioned the "Learning How to Learn" course. That course changed my life. All the other tips are really great. Brene Brown's book Dare to Lead is also fantastic. I'm also trying to make writing a habit. Your post has been motivational for me. I look forward to your other contributions.
Brene Brown is the best 🥰
Also, I just published this article that dives a little deeper into the "learning how to learn" course and how it applies to study data structures and algorithms 😁
Hi!
I glad to read articles like this one because I started my blog on Dev.To not far ago.
I also had that doubts about writing posts, their structure and reaction of people, which I might get.
But step by step, I overcome myself. I want to keep writing at least one article per week.
I want to talk about useful approaches to work with files, different topics, which I'm interested in, etc.
Also, I want to shed light on the machine learning topic.
P.S.
I had the same structure for posts :)
Thanks for sharing! That sounds great, I'm looking forward to reading your blog posts :)
Kat, thanks for this. Timely advice. Just wondering, do you have a running / training / hiking adventure blog as well or just related to work / coding?
I just started blogging (this is my 3rd post so far), but I'm planning to write about training, personal development, finances, and mental health in the near & far future. I'll let you know once I get there! Thanks for asking :)
Thank you for writing this! I am in the phase of "thinking" about writing, but it is probably just any one or more of the things you mentioned keeping me from starting.
Thanks for sharing :) Let us know once you've identified your own roadblocks, it might help out others to find theirs.
I might have missed it, but could you provide a link to your blog?
I just started blogging and all I have written so far is here on dev.to 😉
