I mentioned that the two reasons for not writing that I hear most often from people are variations on “I’ve got nothing to say.”
The first version is when someone says they’ve got nothing to say because they’re not qualified to write on a particular topic. “After all, there are real experts out there who know far more than me. So I’ve got nothing to say.”
But then once you do actually understand a topic, the second version appears. “If I know about this, then everyone knows about this. It’s obvious. So I’ve got nothing to say.”
In both cases, you absolutely should be writing and sharing! In the first instance, you’ve got the beginner’s mind—a valuable perspective. In the second instance, you’ve got personal experience—another valuable perspective.
In other words, while it seems like there’s never a good time to write about something, the truth is that there’s never a bad time to write about something.
So write! Share! Publish!
