Yesterday, I shared what I've learned from writing a weekly LinkedIn article for 15 weeks straight.

There were some great questions, which I address in a standalone post today.

Making writing about yourself

What is the impact of posting on Sunday?

• Conventional wisdom suggests that fewer people check LinkedIn over the weekends.
• Even fewer people post over the weekends, though, so the competition might be less intense.

The main reason for my Sunday articles isn't about engagement - I post because I have pockets of time over the weekend to write.

It's purely about my schedule - and staying consistent.

If you're thinking of writing more regularly, start with yourself: Your strengths, schedule, and preferred cadence.

The rest will fall into place.

Long-form versus short form

How does writing an article differ from a shorter post?

Short posts call for:

• Precision.
• Brevity.

Long-form requires:

• Stamina.
• Cohesiveness.

So yes, they are quite different.

Yet, I've discovered that a long-form article is made of short sections. Writing shorter pieces helps train your ability to write longer ones, like interval training.

Writing longer pieces, on the other hand, gives you the luxury of a larger canvas. This allows for deeper exploration and the weaving of complex, multi-layered narratives.

The long and short of it is, you are practicing the craft of writing regardless of length. That in itself is a uniquely rewarding experience.
