  Can you go into more detail on what you mean by "write deep content"? I think number 8 is probably mutually exclusive with most of the others, especially 7!

    I write on Medium. But, most of the content I write only touches the surface of a topic. It doesn't go deep into the topic like some of the excellent articles upvoted on hackernews.

      Could you post a link to your medium posts or atleast divulge your medium username so that I can look your articles up?

        https://medium.com/@heyfebin https://medium.com/@heyfebin I have written a lot of bullshit due to ignorance. However, some articles turned out to be decent.

          Agreed with the other commenter: don't be too hard on yourself. At first glance, these are pretty solid and nothing to be ashamed of. A few things that have helped me tremendously as a writer: 1. Volume. There really is something to the idea that going for quantity over quality eventually results in higher quantity and quality. The more you write (and read), the better you get at it. Also, no one churns out consistently great stuff. You may need to write dozens of mediocre pieces to find a great one. 2. Consider hiring an experienced editor to go over a few of your posts. You'll learn a lot in the process. 3. There's a need for "shallow" writing too. You might want to write a WaitByWhy-style 25,000 word post on blockchain, but 1) that's incredibly hard to do, and 2) there's only so many people who want to read that. The audience of people who might want to read a 800 word post on the subject is a lot bigger, and writing a short-but-informative post is its own skill. 4. Why do you want to write? In 10 years, what do you hope to look back and have gotten out of it? Anyway, keep up the good work :)
