You don’t have to be a journalist, feature writer, novelist, blogger or social media expert to write everyday. Though everyone always says that each person has a novel in them.
Writing can be as simple as putting your thoughts down in a journal or writing your short and long term goals. It can be writing those characters that you’ve had stewing around in your head. It can be writing a business idea that you’ve always dreamt of doing and maybe one day will become fruition. Writing is extremely personal and gratifying. Professional writers give a piece of their soul every time they publish a piece, but that doesn’t mean everyone has to.

You can also start writing ways you want to accomplish those things, such as short term skill building if you’re looking to change careers. Maybe taking a course or two. Writing it down is a way to actually make yourself do it.
