That blog that is waiting on your computer.

That first story, that first attempt.

Or the complete collection of Never Posted Writings.

The secret stash.

Why isn’t it out there yet?

Are you waiting for permission?

Or perfection?

What is your resistance made of?

There is only one way to get it over with, and that is posting.

Post, post, post.

There’s not a single person in the world who will think your first blog is a big deal, except you.

The world is not a pack of wolves, waiting to tear you apart.

Creating stuff and putting it out there will start a flow.

Don’t worry about the meaning of that flow.

Share for the joy of sharing.

Let the stories find you.

Write, post, and write again.

Get to know your voice and eventually, ears and hearts will start to find you, naturally.

That thing you want to tell the world?

Don’t let it be about what interests people.

About what you think they like or need or appreciate.

Or about competing with successful authors.

Let it be about you.

Post.

Just post.
