As you might have guessed, my teacher didn’t appreciate my sense of humor. In fact, one time when I was eighth grade, I turned in an essay where the last paragraph was the same sentence copied and pasted over and over again, just so I could meet the minimum word count requirement without having to put more effort into it. Even though I make my living as an editor and writer now, I absolutely hated writing when I was younger. So today, I’m taking a break from my usual role of creating content here under the Quintain roof to pull back the curtain on a few of my favorite writing apps that have completely changed the way I write – for work and for myself. This can be for a variety of reasons, as we’re all unique snowflakes, but lack of time, inspiration or basic willingness to commit the effort are the usual suspects. Yet content creation remains a seemingly insurmountable challenge to some. Not only is writing content the foundation of inbound marketing, tell me you don’t feel an immense sense of pride when you hit “publish” on a blog post, eBook or whitepaper you’re really proud of – no matter how hard it was to write. Instead, my presentation got me thinking about a topic we’ve touched upon before in webinars and in other blog posts. As we all know, the accomplishments we’re usually the most proud of are rarely achieved with ease. I bring this up not to rehash the same tired (albeit true) moral that pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone is often a good thing.

This time, I raised my hand to do a 10-minute training on how to be a better business writer during this month’s Junior League of Annapolis meeting, of which I am a proud member. Have you ever had one of those moments where you volunteer for something that’s outside of your comfort zone, and then immediately regretted your decision to be such a sterling example of what it means to be a team player? Well, apparently I didn’t learn my lesson back in February, when I volunteered to host our monthly webinar.
