Wow. I love this Becca. Definitely "saving" this to re-read often.

I also got this GREAT advice when I first started:

Write 100 articles to find your voice.

(the sooner the better)

When I started on Medium about a year ago I had no idea what I wanted to say--yet. The first 10-15 articles were fun (for me), but I knew they were all over the place. Then something happened.

I found myself writing more and more about my sobriety--and also a specific "sub-genre" of my negative experiences in AA. This started growing a crowd (and over 8k Instagram followers) so I just kept going--and it's not only led to IG and Medium followers, but a LOT more.

I've now written 97 articles, but my commitment to write 100 helped me find my voice.

Thank you for this article!! Very inspiring.
