Challenge Yourself as a Writer

In life it is challenges that makes us better and stronger than we are and as a writer it is no different you will need to challenge yourself as a writer in order to become a better or more efficient writer. If you go to the gym every week and you bench press 200 pounds and you always bench press that 200 pounds then you could spend a year at it and you still will be bench pressing 200 pounds at the end of the year but if you were to challenge yourself, not by much let’s just say to push 2 pounds more each and every week. That would equal to 8 pounds more a month which you might thing is not a big difference but look at the whole picture here, at the end of a year you would be push almost 300 pounds instead of 200 pounds just from a little challenge each week and that is a huge difference.

Take the example of the bench press I use above and apply that to your writing. Let us jus say that you are a mediocre writer and that you can comfortably write about 5 articles a day but at then of those five articles you seem to be tried and you would normally stop writing for the day one week just push yourself and try and write 6 articles a day every day for that week instead of 5 and you would see that the task of writing 6 articles become as easy as it was when you were writing just 5. You keep at it for a couple of months and then you would be surprise to see how many articles that you are capable of writing in a day. Just remember to give yourself a challenge.
