Great question, Carol.

Even though the concept is the same, the context (how we receive a message) varies greatly.

So, the easiest way is to imitate, I think. Let's look at X's post that made you feel and imitate the pattern because X's posts always consist of 3-5 lines.

That's a great start.

Let's practice with 2-3 simple sentences like:

(1) Medium has 1 million writers.

(2) But only 0.1% can make more than $1,000.

(3) Here is how.

For me, these 3 lines evoke my pain because I can't hit $1,000 yet, and they evoke my curiosity because I want to know how.

And yes, practice makes perfect.
