Today, the woman behind the plethora of funny little quips and helpful bits of microcopy found in the HubSpot software shows us why writing often is the single best thing you can do to become a better writer.

Channeling her favorite writing gods -- and taking us along for a few of her daily runs -- she demystifies the road to better writing. The best, simplest, and fastest way to master writing might not quite be what you think.

Great writing is like the weather.

Everybody wants to be a better writer, but nobody wants to do anything about it. Well, put down your umbrella and turn your face to the sun, because it’s time to change all that. There is a secret to becoming a better writer. Jerry Seinfeld knew it. Emily Dickinson knew it, too. And after spending just 12 minutes of your time watching today's Bold Talk video, so will you.
