Expert in the Rough, Brian Monahan

Write what you know. This may sound obvious but it’s an easy oversight.

Of course you write what you know, but do you really? Next time you are feeling blocked ask yourself :

• What am I trying to prove?
• Who am I trying to impress?
• Am I really passionate about this topic?
• What additional research do I need to do?
• What am I afraid to say?

Your answers should help you decide how to proceed with your writings.

Feel free to abandon what you don’t know, it will help make room for sharing what you do know.

This also applies to speeches.
