Weekly Writing Plan to Strengthen Your Writing Muscles

“Don’t be a writer, be writing.” – William Faulkner

Writing is like a muscle and with regular exercise, you’ll improve your ability to compel readers with your message and prevent those muscles from seizing up.

Make exercising your writing muscles a daily habit by incorporating this easy Weekly Writing Plan into your routine. This routine starts you off with 1 article per week. However, you wouldn’t use the same weight every day to strengthen your muscles, would you? Continue challenging your writing muscles by increasing the amount of articles published per week to improve your writing skills as well as build your exposure and authority.

It really does adds up! Check it out:

1 article per week for one year = 522 articles per week for one year = 1043 articles per week for one year = 156

Day 1: Outline

Create a Catchy Title that Hooks ReadersWrite Dynamic Subheadings that Organize Your ArticleEstablish Your Call-to-Action

Take a Break!
Focus on another task! Once you’ve written down your topic’s intention in an outline, allow your topic to sit in your head and even sleep on it. You will unconsciously “work on it” as your brain processes new and old information: what you already know about the topic, relevant information, experiences, memories, and more.

Day 2: Write

Review & Revise Your Outline for Missing ElementsFill the Outline in with Quality, Juicy Details & DescriptionsFocus on WritingDon’t Stop or Pause to Consider What You WroteWe Mean It! Write Now. Edit Later

Take a Break!
Once you’ve finished writing, focus on something else – it doesn’t have to be complicated, just something that will pull your attention. You need to step outside of your power-writing mode by recharging your brain on another task.

Day 3: Revise & Proofread

Pretend It’s Not Your PieceTrim Superfluous TextSeek Out Holes in LogicRevise as NecessaryProofread for Spelling and GrammarRepeat Steps 1-5 as Necessary

Take a Break!
Focus on a positive activity or thought. Day 3 can be grueling and humbling, so it’s important to reaffirm your strengths and remember the good things.
