Write Something
Writing will prove to be a great burden if you insist on maintaining your perfectionism.
If you must say it perfectly, you will find it difficult to say anything.
If you fear mistakes, you will be reluctant to tap the "publish" icon.
If typographical errors cause you to tremble with humiliation, blogging may not be your forte.
These phobias can be overcome and you can emerge as a carefree, candid, and fallible blogger just like me. in fact, you can emerge as a self-publishing machine with multiple "correctables" if you will take this simple advice:
WRITE SOMETHING!
You may not think you have anything about which to write. It doesn't matter. You may not have the right words. No one cares. (Make them up if you must as I just did.)
You may not feel accomplished. Practice.
You may doubt that anyone wants to read you. Don't worry about it.
Just write. The ideas will come. The words will come. The people will come to read.
Lose the perfectionism and get on with it. If you have the itchy urge, follow it.
You can fix your mistakes later.
Be bold; be vulnerable; be free.
Write something!

2 年Great advice there. Writing improves with practice. So I believe that the only way to be a good writer is just by writing, writing, and writing.

Organizational and Business development consultant who ROCKS THE HOUSE!!
2 年I recently co-authored a book titled "Rock the House" to address exactly what you are professing. The publication is not perfect, but it addresses what Our Nation and our people are experiencing. The topics focus on assisting others use the book as inspirational and a tool to take action to improve their lives. We have received a host of advice and critical assessments of the publication. What we were hoping for is to see these suggestions make improvements in the book to make it better for others. Imagine creating a project that all can make suggestions to improve the end product as long as the goal was to have it address our National, State, personal and international problems.
