stretching my brain to understand what is actually happening in crypto was a real struggle for me. i was told to study great writers, copy them and tweak yours, sound smart... i mean, i did all of those and got stuck in the middle. so what was missing? there's a psychology and knowledge behind those contents. you can copy them, but you can't copy the reasoning behind the content and that's a big damn difference. getting your foot in this space takes a while, but for all it takes, it's still worth it. follow @Heisrae_Vibez on the "borrowing Genius".

𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐗 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. everyone told me to study great writers, so i did. i read their work, copied their structures, even tried writing like them, but it didn’t work. because i wasn’t trying to become them, i was trying to become me. so instead of asking: how does Joan didion write? i started asking: what does joan didion know that i don’t? i stopped collecting writing styles, and started collecting mental models. i studied why certain opening lines become unforgettable, why some endings make you start reading again. why a simple sentence from hemingway feels heavier than an entire paragraph from someone else. then i realised that the answers weren’t only hiding inside writers. they were everywhere: storytellers taught emotion, psychologists taught attention, marketers taught positioning, designers taught simplicity. the greatest minds in every field had principles that worked far beyond their own profession. so i started building a library, hundreds of quotes, books, interviews… not to admire them, to borrow from them. over the past few weeks, a lot of people have asked me to start posting more about content strategy again. instead of sharing random tips, i’m sharing the source. so i’m starting a new series: Borrowing GENIUS. every post will begin with one timeless idea from one extraordinary mind. then we’ll break it down, why it worked, what they meant, and most importantly... how you can use it today to become a better writer, storyteller, creator, researcher, builder, or thinker. because genius leaves clues and the smartest thing we can do is borrow them. see you in Borrowing GENIUS by HeisRae. ciao, till we meet again. 🫶🏾💜

everyone told me to study great writers, so i did.

i read their work, copied their structures, even tried writing like them, but it didn’t work.

because i wasn’t trying to become them, i was trying to become me.

so instead of asking: how does Joan didion write?

i started asking: what does joan didion know that i don’t?

i stopped collecting writing styles, and started collecting mental models.

i studied why certain opening lines become unforgettable, why some endings make you start reading again.

why a simple sentence from hemingway feels heavier than an entire paragraph from someone else.

then i realised that the answers weren’t only hiding inside writers.

they were everywhere:

storytellers taught emotion, psychologists taught attention, marketers taught positioning, designers taught simplicity.

the greatest minds in every field had principles that worked far beyond their own profession.

so i started building a library, hundreds of quotes, books, interviews…

not to admire them, to borrow from them.

over the past few weeks, a lot of people have asked me to start posting more about content strategy again.

instead of sharing random tips, i’m sharing the source.

so i’m starting a new series: Borrowing GENIUS.

every post will begin with one timeless idea from one extraordinary mind.

then we’ll break it down, why it worked, what they meant, and most importantly...

how you can use it today to become a better writer, storyteller, creator, researcher, builder, or thinker.

because genius leaves clues and the smartest thing we can do is borrow them.

see you in Borrowing GENIUS by HeisRae.

ciao, till we meet again. 🫶🏾💜
