I know the exact feeling of hitting publish then flaws instantly springing out.
|
||
|
||
Wonderful analogies, that share still more parallels with my own writing style. Right now I have 15 drafts in my Medium queue. 14 of those are just WIP headlines, a string of trigger words. Kernels of ideas that came to me at inconvenient times. Or that the mood just hasn’t struck me to elaborate on yet.
|
||
|
||
One of those drafts is a fully written piece. It’s had several editing passes. I’ve had someone read it and tell me it’s the most powerful piece I’ve ever written. I myself think it is one of my best. But I cannot hit publish. Not becauase I don’t want to, but because it is as you say.
|
||
|
||
That piece, should I ever share it— would split me wide open. And I’m not quite sure I want to do that yet. I’d like to, some day, though.
|
||
|
||
I’ve yet to delete anything I’ve published. I suppose that’s a good thing. I understand the panic, though. That much is certain.
