Gather all your personal writing—Slack messages, emails, texts, Discord chats—into one document and read through it. You'll find ideas buried in there worth sharing with others, but only if you do the reading yourself instead of automating it.
Make a you file. One of the best pieces of writing advice I ever got was to go find everything I've written and copy it into a file, like into a Google Doc, into, you know, a Word doc, whatever you want. And the— and I found this to be tremendously helpful. It really set me on my way, I think, to the current phase of the writing that I do. And I encourage everyone else, go into Slack, go into forums, go into Discords, go into, you know, your emails, of course, you know, maybe even check out your sent text messages. What have you written down? And don't just automate this process, look at them yourself, because one of the most important things here is for you to start to collect these ideas that are you, that you've thrown off in these various transactions and then forgotten about, but actually could be really valuable to someone else. This gives you the ideas, this gives you the nub of content that will allow you to start to engage in thought leadership and distribute your brilliance to others.
