You Wanna Write on X Without Losing Your Mind?

In partnership with

I’m trying something new with todays article so bare with me.

Let me know if you spot it.

Lets get started.

You’re probably scrolling X right now, aren’t you?

Thinking you’ll eventually post something brilliant, but instead, you’re doomswiping through hot takes and cat memes.

Sound familiar?

Let’s cut the nonsense and talk about how to actually focus on writing for X.

Because, let’s be real, your drafts folder isn’t gonna tweet itself.

1. Stop Chasing the Algorithm Like a Desperate Ex

The X algorithm isn’t your mom, it doesn’t care about your feelings.

Quit obsessing over the perfect time to post or the “viral” hashtag.

Focus on saying something worth reading.

Write one clear, punchy thought 140 characters or less if you’re feeling nostalgic and hit send before you overthink it.

Done is better than perfect.

Everyone said it was impossible…

“TV ads don't work for ecommerce.”
“You need massive budgets to test TV.”

All wrong.

2. Mute the Noise (Yes, Even That “Influencer” You Hate-Follow).

X is a screaming match disguised as a platform.

Every other post is someone yelling about politics or crypto.

Mute, block, or curate your feed to only see people who spark ideas, not rage.

You’re here to write, not to referee idiots.

Pro tip: Use lists to stalk the good stuff without clogging your timeline.

3. Set a Timer and Pretend You’re Not Procrastinating

You’ve got five minutes.

Yes, five. Write a post.

Doesn’t have to be Shakespeare, just get a thought out.

Set a timer, put your phone on Do Not Disturb, and pretend you’re not itching to check notifications.

One post a day keeps the “I’m not creative” excuses away.

You’re welcome.

4. Stop Lurking, Start Engaging (Poor you).
Writing on X isn’t just shouting into the void, it’s a conversation.

Reply to someone’s post with a real thought, not just “lol nice.”

Engagement builds your voice and gets eyes on your stuff. \

But don’t be that guy spamming “DM me” under every viral thread.

We see you, and we’re judging.

5. Accept You’ll Suck Sometimes

Not every post will slap.

Some will flop harder than a bad sitcom.

That’s fine. Keep writing.

The only way to find your voice is to post through the cringe.

Nobody’s keeping score but you, so chill.

Look, X is a chaotic mess, but it’s your chaotic mess.

Stop treating it like a performance and start using it as a playground.

Write something.

Post it. Repeat. Or, you know, keep refreshing your feed for “inspiration.” Your call.

If you enjoyed this “Unfiltered” article, let me know if you like this style.

But as always, stay strong.

I’ll see you tomorrow!
