It's time. Put on your best dress or suit, pick out your best ethernet cord, and get ready. It's time to hit publish.
It can be scary to share your writing with the world. I know you can think of any number of reasons why it would be a bad idea. But don’t listen to those voices.
When you share your writing with the world, a lot can happen.
You'll be relieved to have finished your project, and excited and nervous to hear what people have to say.
Your readers might enjoy your work, and tell you so. That's great! Feel good about that. Enjoy your success, and learn from it. Adapt. Write more. Hit publish again. Come back better than ever.
Your readers might hate your work, and tell you so! Hear what they have to say, and learn from it. Adapt. Write more. Hit publish again. Come back swinging.
No one might read what you have to say. Silence is deafening, but it's valuable feedback in itself. It means you need to either change what or how you write, change how you share what you write, or, more likely, both. No problem. Listen to the sound of silence, and learn from it. Adapt. Write more. Hit publish again. Come back swinging.
Hit publish. Share what you've written with the world.
What's next?
