David Molina says aspiring creators should read books and long-form writing, then aggressively block and mute thousands of social media accounts to avoid low-quality noise. His core point: trust your own voice and only consume content that exemplifies strong writing.
Read the fundamental books because writers don't have a cooler life than you, they just know how to tell their boring life in a cooler way. Mute creators. Like, I hear many people, but I only listen to myself. And if you look at my Twitter stuff, I have like 3,000 people blocked, like 1,000 people muted, and it's awesome because I think that the average bar for content in our social medias is like pretty fucking low. So I don't consume any like typical creator, the moment I see them, one moment I mute them. Read more long form, read more like really, really only high-level people, because that's gonna kind of ingrain you into the habit of what good content is or what good writing is. So mute a lot of creators.
