#writing mindset

Just how terrified should you be of people leaving reviews on your book? 😱

That's why the whole idea deserves a more nuanced discussion than just "I don't care about reviews, and you shouldn't, either!"

Turns out we can't just wait around for someone else to decide that what we're creating is good enough/interesting enough/worthy enough.

Instead, we have to . . . well. Watch the video and see. 😉

Raise your hand if you need a little more guilt in your life!

Oh . . . no hands? 🤔 Then why are you referring to that thing you love as a "guilty pleasure"? Why not just enjoy it because, y'know, it brings you joy?
