Thanks for the read! These are great tips. But one thing you might also add is - EDIT your work. I find so many articles on Steemit with all sorts of spelling and grammar errors. I think it might be because a lot of people are trying to post as much content as quickly as possible. Also, it seems like a lot of these poorly edited (and often poorly written) articles are rewarded with upvotes. In other words, there doesn't seem to be anything discouraging folks from posting shitty writing. My sentiment is that if you're using Steemit as a social media site, well, then who cares... But the folks on here masquerading as writers might consider putting some more time into improving the quality of their writing.

As for your advice about deciding on a tone and sticking to it, I would add that it also helps to imagine someone you write for. For people it is easier to organize their thoughts when they address a person, not a nameless generalized audience. It is also a strategy used by John Steinbeck.
Then, you can also try saying your ideas aloud and record them. This technique helps when you have a writer’s block and feel like your head is empty. It is even better if you have a pet. Tell it what you think and then write down your thoughts.
Sometimes you also need to put your writings aside for a few hours or days if you are not in a hurry. Try to give your brain a rest.
Look for other people’s works to learn how they interpret a topic you are trying to develop. You should not steal their ideas. Try to reflect on what you read, have a virtual discussion with the author, look at your topic from a different angle. Sometimes I use paperhelp coupons to see how other writers work with my topic.
Finally yet importantly, write a diary. It is easier to form a habit to write every day, when you just have to describe what occurs in your life and what you think about it.
