He who proposes to be an author should first be a student.

Before you can say anything worth hearing, you have to have spent a long time taking things in. People who skip that stage produce work that is fluent and hollow, because there is nothing underneath it except the wish to be heard. The willingness to be a beginner, reading and watching and not yet contributing, is what eventually gives the work weight. Output without intake runs dry fast.

Budget real time for learning that produces nothing visible, especially when you mean to say something publicly. A month of serious reading will do more for the work than another month of drafts.
