This was so great for me to read! I am a total perfectionist and it ABSOLUTELY keeps me from writing all the time! I also am trying to overcome my lack of confidence. So many people are SO GOOD at writing, it has become intimidating. But just you saying, basically, come as you are, warts and all, consistently! That was really helpful! Hopefully I bring less warts and more as I am (LOL), but I am encouraged to bring it!
Glad you found value in the post, Laura. I can't read my early writing because it's so awful, but, like everything, we get better by putting in the reps. Keep going, I'm rooting for you.
Mark, great article! The point about a stronger voice is my favorite. I agree with you that if you show up regularly and share your work, your voice becomes much stronger over time. Thanks for sharing!
Ok Mark. I get it. I’ll write a post about something everyday. Yikes!
Love that, Sue. Go for it.

Thank you so much! 😃
As a 70-year-old woman, like many of my peers, I’m intimate with invisibility. Thanks for the nudge. I appreciate your sage advice.
