Struggling with perfectionism? Open this

If you want to become a great writer, you need honest feedback.

Give yourself permission to create junk.

This is the crux of @jamesclear's creative process.

"Creating something useful and compelling is like being a gold miner.

You have to sift through pounds of dirt and rock and silt just to find a speck of gold in the middle of it all."

Volume wins:

• Van Gogh painted 900+ paintings & thousands of sketches over his lifetime.

• Beethoven composed 722 works (including 9 symphonies, 35 sonatas, 16 string quartets).

• Mozart composed over 600.

The path to "genius" is oftentimes just "more."

If you want to become a great writer, you need volume.

Instead, just focus on publishing.

It’s the best way to get feedback on your work. Because every time you put something out into the world, you’re leaving it up to the judgment of others.

Is it good? Is it bad?

The Internet will let you know.

And once you see what’s working or not, you can practice, improve, and master the art of Digital Writing.

If you want to become a great writer, you need to allow yourself to create “junk.”
