I Have Always Hated This Phrase…
I’ve always struggled with the question “How are you?”
That’s really hard to answer when you aren’t doing well.
What do I try to do instead?
Instead of saying ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ try to respond with something tangible.
It’s more personal, real, and sparks curiosity.

Describing Stuff Happening vs Telling a Story

Describing Stuff Happening vs Telling a Story
I’ll go even further and say the stuff you make but expect to ‘make any noise’ the least is the stuff that makes the *most* noise more often than we think!
Can't stress this enough: a random story you write on a lark may end up being the one that gets you the most recognition while the one you really love may get few reads and/or your worst reviews. Don't overthink it. Publishing is a gamble. You'll win some; you'll lose some.
