3 Reasons Why Writing Practice Leads to Multidimensional Content

“High quality” is a measure of whether or not your content helps your audience in ways they can’t find anywhere else.

Simple … and not-so simple.

We can all quickly spot junk content, but it takes a lot more effort to match the description of high-quality content I mentioned above.

That’s because the type of creative content that actually produces results for your business is multidimensional and typically doesn’t arise from linear thinking.

Let’s look at three ways a regular writing practice helps you work in that multidimensional space that honors both your prospects’ and your business’s needs.

1. You live like an artist

This one is my Writer-side’s favorite.

Writing practice isn’t confined to time you spend in front of your computer or journal.

When you’re working on a project, different aspects of your life can be sources of inspiration. And you often need to be out living your life to make remarkable connections in your content.

• Notice what other consumers say.
• Observe how other businesses market themselves.
• Invent persuasive analogies and metaphors.

When you learn to live like an artist, once it’s time to write, you already know what you want to say.

Then it’s your job to put together a cohesive presentation.

2. You value effective communication

This one is my Editor-side’s favorite.

A large part of an editor’s work involves spotting text that is unclear. Of course, those phrases or sentences made sense to the writer, but that doesn’t always mean they make sense to a reader.

Writing practice helps writers translate the vague thoughts in their minds into a crisp draft that someone else will effortlessly understand.

My first drafts are a lot more comprehensible than they were 10 years ago. I still improve them with editing and proofreading, but starting out with much higher-quality writing enables me to finish my final draft faster.

3. You develop empathy

And this one is my Marketer-side’s favorite.

We all know that “living like an artist” can be self-indulgent, but your writing practice can also temper that side-effect.

When you write, you naturally reflect on yourself, others, dilemmas, current events, etc. You explore different points of view as you review the ideas you’re contemplating

Through this process, you’ll develop empathy for where other people are on their journeys, which is what you need to do to focus on the best ways to serve your audience.

If you want to craft words professionally, there’s no substitute for the writing practice that gives you the experience you need.
