Hey friends, just wanted to share an idea about building and writing in public from Monday’s newsletter.
“What if, for the last seven years, I’d shared my whole process? The submissions, the rejections, the times where I didn’t have time to write. The time I avoided writing for six months because it filled me with dread. The reworking of my process when it wasn’t working. The learnings that came out of all that. If I had done all that, what new friends might have come along for the ride?
What if you did the same? That thing that you’re keeping quiet because you think you couldn’t possibly tell anyone because it’s unfinished, you don’t want people to find out that you don’t belong here, you’re worried you’ll get sunburned working in the sun. Break out the SPF 1200 and lather up, bucko.
Build in public. Write in public. Make your thing in public. This kid did it. You can, too.”
