How small steps can bring success in writing?

Most of us aspire to achieve great success and accomplish significant works. When it comes to writing, we all dream of penning a book or at least crafting a research article of 3,000 words. However, the reality is that writing a book in a single day, or even in a month, is no easy feat.

Most people find it challenging to write a 100-page book within a year. Simply put, it's not easy at all. Therefore, it's a significant challenge, and we must learn to break it down into smaller steps.

Today, I'm going to practice this. I'm trying to break a long article into shorter or smaller steps and then combine them to write a blog post of at least 1,000 words. So, you see, I'm dividing the entire article into small pieces.

My target is to write 200 words in one go, then take a short break. After that, I'll plan the next 200 words and continue. So, what I'm doing is writing the first 100 words, taking a very brief break, then writing another 100 words before taking a longer break of a few minutes. Then, I plan for the next 200 words and repeat the process. I've been a blogger since 2006, and back then, 200 words were often sufficient.

Most people believed that a blog post could simply summarize a news article or a lengthy piece from another website or blog and still rank well on Google. The key was to post multiple times a day and learn the basics of how to use and optimize for the Google search engine, or search engine optimization. That was the prevailing idea, and I achieved considerable success by becoming skilled in this approach.

I always wanted to write original content in my own language and, furthermore, I used to try to offer my opinion on almost everything I wrote about. Around 2011, the landscape changed, and Google began prioritizing websites that published longer content. While it wasn't a radical shift to 1,000-word articles immediately, it started with posts of 300, 400, or even 500 words.

At that time, I became ill and stopped blogging. Slowly, after a few years, I transitioned to Facebook and grew accustomed to writing there. As you know, most Facebook posts aren't very long, and I used to write around 200 to 300 words, which was considered quite substantial by Facebook standards.

Then, I became adept at writing posts within 100 words, and they often received good engagement. Now that I've returned to blogging, I've noticed that adjusting to the idea of writing a 1,000-word article each time isn't easy. It's quite challenging for me because for many years, at least the last ten, I was accustomed to Facebook, where most posts were within or just around 100 words.

So, it's a significant challenge for me to come back to blogging and write posts of 1,000 words. What I'm doing now is trying to create a plan by dividing the post into 200-word sections. After finishing all the sections, I'll do some editing and make some changes before putting them all together. This way, I can create a 1,000-word blog post.

Yes, there's a challenge because sometimes the sections might feel disconnected. As I've already stated, I'm trying to focus solely on the 200-word length that I was comfortable with in the past.

To be honest, implementing this idea isn't very straightforward, and there are some downsides. The first drawback is that I feel disconnected, or the writing doesn't always flow logically. This can make me feel a bit discouraged and lose motivation.

Deep down, I know I'm writing for the sake of practice, but it doesn't always feel coherent. That's the main issue, and there's also an obvious lack of quality in my writing. I can't indefinitely pretend that what I'm doing is perfectly fine. It's not great, not even good.

On the other hand, there's a very positive aspect: I'm practicing. Even if the quality isn't up to par, I am still practicing writing and uploading to the blog. If I can continue uploading regularly, sooner or later, my quality will improve significantly, and I'll overcome this problem. Another point is that if I can write 30,000 words this way, or 30 long articles, the quality will improve, and my writing habits will evolve.

I won't need to write just 200 words at a time; I'll gradually move to 400 or 500 words in one stretch. When I reach that level, writing a 1,000-word article won't be a significant challenge anymore. Now, after writing around 800 words, or four steps, I feel that it's working.

It's not that bad, and it's moving towards better improvement and better results. That's why I just need to believe in myself and keep trying. If I persist, it will start yielding good results.

I must not neglect the practice aspect of blogging. I'm no longer a professional blogger, but I'm striving to become one. If I want to achieve that, I need to practice a lot first.

I must remember this and not overlook the importance of practice. Now, I've reached the end of this article, and I feel that it has almost reached 1,000 words. I'm very happy about this, and it's a crucial part of my practice.

If I can practice this way, I will start seeing success. I must wholeheartedly try to motivate myself and keep going. There will be many mistakes and ups and downs, but after some time, I'm hopeful that I will become a professional blogger.

So, I'd like to thank you for reading. I know that hardly anyone might read it now, but after a year, thousands of people may find it as it represents a significant part of my practice.

A New Beginning: Why You Should Never Lose Hope and Keep Trying

Why Not to Lose Hope and Keep on Trying?
Introduction: My Birthday
I celebrated my birthday yesterday, and naturally, I was very happy. I ate and enjoyed the day, but at the same time, I was sad because, over the last year, I could not achieve as much as I wanted. Life has not been very successful for me, and I became a bit depressed.

One Year for Me – A Big Opportunity
But then, I realized that there is a new opportunity for me because now I have another year to look forward to. After one year, I will celebrate my birthday again, but this time, I want to work very hard and achieve great things. I want to make some of my dreams come true. So, this is a new opportunity, and I am determined to try my best. The only thing I must do is work every day, and I have decided that I will fully commit to becoming a writer and a blogger within the next year.

Let the Past Go
I will not think of anything else but focus on writing. I want to become a successful writer, and I hope to achieve it. So, I have to find my way. I need to develop a strategy and make plans to work consistently over the next 12 months.

I must take this as an opportunity for myself. I need to let go of the past and not be sad but instead treat this as a fresh start. Every day from now on is an opportunity for me to work toward becoming a writer.

Assess Your Strengths
I want to write, and I must think of all the opportunities that will come my way if I try my best. The next step is to assess my strengths. What are my strong points? I want to be a writer, and for that, I just need to write 1,000 words every day.

That is enough if I can keep going. It is enough because the quality will improve gradually. After just 100 days of writing 1,000 words daily, my skill and quality will improve significantly. Some people will start reading my work and enjoying it.

I Am Skilled and Experienced
I know from my own experience that I have been writing since 1997—that means almost 28 years—so I do have some skill in writing. I also have a lot of experience.

More than anything, I enjoy it. I love to write, and I have always wanted to be a writer. So now, it is time for me to try my best. I know that if I keep trying, good results will come.

I Want to Try
Right now, my writing is not very good, and I am not giving it enough time. But if I keep trying, my writing will improve, and many people will start reading, commenting, and contacting me. I will gain recognition for my work.

I don’t want to give up because I know that giving up in life only leads to misery. I really regret not trying hard enough over the past year because, after many years, I finally became free, and now I have a lot of time.

The Result of Giving Up Is Only Misery
In fact, I have 24 hours every day to dedicate to my work and myself. I did not have this opportunity for the last 20 years, but now I have all the time for myself, and this is a great opportunity. You could say that this is a new beginning for me, and I want to make the best use of it.

A New Beginning for Me
I know that if I become serious and truly try, this will be an excellent chapter of my life. So, I am hopeful that by my next birthday, I will be a successful writer, and at least 10,000 people will read my work every day—or maybe even more. Who knows? Perhaps 100,000 people will read my articles and listen to my audio and videos daily.

After many Years I am writing Regularly

 

 I'm very happy that I am writing again another post in this blog. I could not imagine that I would be able to write continuously in such a way because I have failed to do so in the last at least 15 years. In the last, not 15 years, but actually 14 years, I cannot remember that I could write three or four days continuously in here.

 

So I'm very happy for the change. Now no one is reading and this is the most important time because I'm clearly and surely struggling with this blog. I'm not sure when it will have any visitor at all, but I'm enjoying writing and I'm enjoying the process.

 

It's very important that I can write every day one or two posts or sometimes three posts in blogging. And after writing, I must learn how to promote it or market it. Finally, I have to find a way to sell my writing or bring some money through different ways.

 

Fortunately, in 2025, there are many ways to earn money. Of course, before that, I need to have a decent amount of visitors every day in my blog. And finally, I have to be serious.

 

But before anything, I have to make a habit of writing. Without this habit, any dream is useless. I'm really happy that after so many years, now I have started to enjoy the writing process again and I'm writing from my heart.

 

I really missed it. You see that if I can spend all my hours for work, for any kind of work, then there is every possibility that I'll become successful. It is true for any kind of work, not just writing.

 

And for writing, it is even more challenging and needed that you can write every day. Now my plan is that I will spend at least 10 hours every day for writing and I will just focus on writing. I do not want to promote my post or bring visitors or get ranked in Google.

 

The only thing that I want to do is write. And for writing, I have to read a lot, I have to think a lot, and finally, I will try to watch many videos related to my topic. So I have to find a way to be regular and punctual and disciplined.

 

If I can just work every day and every day spend 10 hours for writing, then my writing quality will improve within a very short time, maybe within one month. It will improve dramatically. It is bound to happen because when I do not have any other work but just  focusing on a particular work, then my quality and speed both will improve within a very short time. I have witnessed it many times and now again I want to do it.

 

What is the main challenge? The main challenge is that I have to forget everything else and just focus on my writing. If I can do it, then 10 hours is a lot of time and I will improve a lot within a very short time. After all, the only thing that I lacked was focus and discipline.

 

I have strong willpower. I can spend all my time when I focus on something. But in the past, I failed for my writing. Willpower works in a short span of time but using it for a long time only results in burnout and in writing it is really true.

What is the best way to avoid burnout? You have to enjoy the work and you must not try to achieve too much in a single day but work regularly.

Trying to write every day

 

 

I have decided to write every day in this blog without any expectation of getting any visitor or traffic. I just want to practice writing because I want to be a writer. This is the best place for such practice and I started writing here 19 years ago. If I had kept on writing every day for the past 19 years then this blog would have got several thousand posts.

I really regret it a lot. However, I cannot change the past. I can only hope for working Seriously from now on. It takes only maximum 10 minutes for me to write a post here. So, I will not neglect it anymore and just keep on writing.  Back in 2009, I tried to write regularly here and there were some followers who visited my blog every day.

Then, you could subscribe a blog by your email address and that was great. You did not need to come here to read but you could read from your email inbox. Now, I have enough time every day for my writing. I just need to have patience and spend many hours sitting in my chair and table. It is like beginning from the scratch and I am going to try my best this time.

Here, I have to convince myself that if I work hard then success will come. Yes, having the dream of success is a good source of motivation but more than that, I must try to enjoy the process of writing. If I can enjoy, then, I have at least 10 hours of time every day to write and that is a lot of time because then I will be able to work 70 hours every week.

To be honest, I want to spend 100 hours of my time every week for writing because I know that when you can spend 100 hours a week, you will surely become successful beyond your wildest imagination.

Right now not even five persons read my posts in this blog but I know that in future it will be just the opposite. If I become successful as a writer, then a time will come when at least 10,000 people will read each of the posts now I am writing.

I’m hopeful about it because I have experienced it in Facebook. It is time for me to struggle every day and I am going to write at least 3000 words a day from now on. I wanted to write short stories and articles. This is my time to do such things and go for my dream.  You see, for the last 10 years, I was totally busy with building platform and trying for others.

Now, I want to totally try for myself for my own life and for my own career. I wanted to be a writer and I want to write and I want to spend all my hours for writing. Yes, I know that most of the things that I’m writing now are totally garbage and I wish that I could write better.

It doesn’t matter but what matters is that I am trying to write every day and so now later my quality will improve in writing.  I have to believe in myself and have the dream that may be after one year at least 1,000 people are going to read this post of today. There will be 30 to 40 comments and I will thank myself for trying. The beginning is always difficult and challenging but at this age, I know that if I can keep on trying success will come very soon.

It is like a mental game that I am playing with myself in which I have to become successful and win. If I can write a post of 1,000 words, then I have already own half of the battle even if the quality is not good at all. From my own experience I have noticed that if I can keep on trying every day then I will become successful. It happens because my skill improves and I learn how to become better and more successful. Yesterday, I watched a video in YouTube about the difference between willpower and discipline. It opened my eyes because I understood that I was never short in willpower but I always lacked discipline.

I have to learn to become disciplined and be prepared well for the activities that I want to do. For example, if I want to become a writer then I have to be prepared to spend 4-5 hours every day to write. I have to fight against the excuses that I gave for not being able to spend those four or five hours to write.

When you can work without any expectation of result or success only then, you become most successful. I’m amazed to see that I have been able to write more than 800 words in this post so far and I am going to stop when I hit the 1000 mark. That is an amazing achievement because I have written it within just half an hour. So, if I am patient for only 30 minutes and can focus then I can write a blog post of 1000 words.

So the challenge is not improving writing quality or achieving success but motivate merciless to focus for 30 minutes only. I have to remind myself that writing is the only thing that I wanted to do in my life and now the perfect opportunity has come in this regard.

I’m very happy to be able to write this blog post I would like to thank all of you who will be reading it in future. You see this simple dream that at least 10,000 people are going to read this post in future makes me feel more motivated and excited.

Will it really happen? I’m hopeful because I have experienced it in the past and I will get it in future too.

Welcome to Blogging and Writing

 

I have started blogging again and I am trying to write in this blog almost every day. I have started to enjoy writing and especially blogging. To be honest, I really missed like this but what I could do!

I was always under too much pressure and always under a lot of stress. As a result, I could not write even 100 words per day BUT I always wanted to write. So I feel great to be able to write again and I have started to understand that I can easily write more than 2000 words A day- if I really try.

 

So the question is, why have I started blogging again? The main reason I have started blogging again because I always wanted to be a writer and now I feel that it is now or never. I am going to try my best. it is like a do or die situation and I want to do something for myself. For the last 10 years, I have dedicated my life for building several platforms and even an association or some Facebook groups but this time I want to focus only on my work and on myself.

That is why I have come back to blogging because this is something I really understand and I really enjoy. I want to achieve some success, no doubt about that, but more than anything else, I want to write and I want to enjoy my life again with writing. I always enjoy writing and this is something that helps me to find some mental peace.

I find peace in writing because here I can create my own world according to my imagination. I do not need to worry about others but I can just talk to myself and express my own ideas. Even when I am writing about a particular topic like business or sports, then I can express my own opinion and this is something I enjoy a lot.

When I am writing about a business topic, I can give my own version of the event and I can even give my own opinion which may or may not be at par with most people who are writing about it. Of course, I want to achieve some popularity and fame and some success in my blogging but more than that, I just want to enjoy it. I want to enjoy writing from my heart.

That is the main thing that I want to achieve and I know that if I can enjoy, then success will come sooner or later. I like blogging because it gives me a lot of freedom and it gives me a lot of mental peace. As a result, I love the work and I have experienced huge amount of success in the past.

So I want to try again and I am optimistic that I can become successful again. Blogging is something that you can do from your own house and I want to stay at home for my health. I have suffered a lot for the last 10 years as I went out too much but now I want to stay at home, rest and work full time as a professional blogger and writer.

As I have already stated several times that I wanted to be a writer and I want to enjoy that writing now. I want to try with all kind of writing, blogging, research articles, white paper, business analysis, etc. I know that I will be able to do all of them and more than that, I also want to write short stories and even a novel.

I am hopeful that I will be able to do these things. I want to also write e-books and print books and this is the age of e-books. So I am hopeful that I can write e-books also.

To be honest, at this point of time, my writing is not good at all. In fact, I am not satisfied with the quality or level of my writing and I know that I can write much better than this. But what I need to do is that I just need to keep on practicing and the more I practice, the better I will become. I have to write every day and sometimes I will try to write 3000-4000 or even 5000 words in English language.

 

That will improve my writing because the more you practice, the better you become in any field. This is the reality. I also know that if I want to make my dream come true, then I have to work extremely hard and from today, I have started working hard and I have started writing in English language.

 

Today, I have already written 2200 words and here if I can add another 800 words, then it will be 3000 words. I also have been able to write 1000 words in Bangla. So, it is becoming 4000 words in a single day and I am very happy for it.

 

I used to write about business, sports, entertainment, technology, etc. I was not a bad writer and now I am going to focus on all kinds of writing. I want to write a short story and I want to write an author.

 

I want to write creative writing. I want to write non-fiction and I want to do blogging on business topics. Hopefully, I will become very successful and I am serious about it.

 

Finally, I would like to state that I know my writing is not good at all but I have not lost hope about it. Instead, I want to focus, I want to keep on trying and I want to be a serious writer. I will try my best to write 3000 or 4000 words a day and from tomorrow, I am going to really give my best effort.
