How do you know if you’re becoming a better writer?  What kinds of things should you focus on to improve your writing skills?  And for that matter, should you even bother trying to improve? Why not just take shortcuts? If you’re a thought leader (or you want to be), or just someone who wants to express their thoughts and ideas more effectively, you’ve come to the right place.  Communicating effectively is a MUST to get your ideas across and make an impact. But it’s so much more than that. Strengthening your writing skills can be immensely satisfying—especially when you can observe (and many even celebrate) your progress. In this “Coaching with Cam” episode of the Storytelling with Heart podcast, Camille explores:  - The value of improving in the first place…why sucking at a thing and being a beginner is awesome, and why it’s worth putting in the work to improve your skills - Why the skill of writing *still matters*, and why it’s worth fighting for, even if you use other services or experts (like me!) to help you do it better - How to avoid the danger of “de-skilling” yourself — and keep building your skills (rather than eroding them) - Why you shouldn’t rely entirely on audience feedback to know whether your writing is improving - Top 10 signs your writing is improving…some signs and signals that indicate your work is getting better (regardless of audience response!) Along the way, you’ll get some great hints and tips about how to improve your writing too!
