My process for writing this newsletter
From π‘ 1000+ ideas all the way to publishing newsletter articles!
Intro
When I started writing the Engineering Leadership newsletter back in October 2022, I had zero clue how to write a good article, as I had never done any online writing outside of my work before.
I more or less just opened my Notion page and wrote what came to my mind.
After many learnings, I found a process that works for me to have been able to send out 90+ consistent weekly newsletter articles.
And in this article, I am sharing my process with you!
