Just get going. Quoting https://randsinrepose.com/archives/your-writing/ https://randsinrepose.com/archives/your-writing/ :
* Less than 1% of your writing will be life-changing.
* 3% will be trivial to write.
* 4% will strongly resonate with others in a way you didn’t expect.
* 5% will be quite good.
* 15% probably should’ve never been published.
* 26% will elicit a reaction you did not expect. Positive or negative.
* 28% will become vastly better because you chose to edit.
* 30% will start as one piece but finish as another.
* 40% will be good solid writing.
* 45% will do much worse than you expect when published.
* 60% of your writing will never be finished. Be ok with that.
* 100% of your writing is worth your time.
- meowface 2y ago>* 100% of your writing is worth your time. Just curious, but do you think my collective 20 years of random posts across 10+ social media platforms, often with thousands of posts per platform, has been worth my time?
- rcarmo 2y agoWell, I think mine have. There were some weird tweets, but on average… yeah.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 2y ago> some weird tweets Sounds like some of the 15% or some of the 28%. :)
- grvdrm 2y agoWhat's "worth" in this question? May be hard to answer. My view from the same behavior: yes, worth it. Was everything productive for a career? For a relationship with someone else? Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Would love to hear your thoughts on my first question!
