Jeff Triplett’s words really resonate with me. Writing has been a real struggle for me over the last few years. Sure, I could say it’s because I haven’t had the time or energy, but the truth runs deeper: I’m rarely satisfied with my work enough to hit ‘publish.’ I find myself caught in an endless cycle of editing and reworking, which ultimately means my pieces never see the light of day. Lately, though, I’ve started to break out of this cycle by focusing on shorter form content—like the curated finds posts I’ve been publishing recently. Not gonna lie, it’s liberating!
Please publish and share more
Friends, I encourage you to publish more, indirectly meaning you should write more and then share it. (…) You don’t have to change the world with every post. You might publish a quick thought or two that helps encourage someone else to try something new, listen to a new song, or binge-watch a new series. (…)
Our posts are done when you say they are. You do not have to fret about sticking to landing and having a perfect conclusion. Your posts, like this post, are done after we stop writing.
