Heard from a few folks that they procrastinate publishing because they want to make sure it’s good enough and I totally get it, I worry about that too. But I’ve gotten pretty good at deciding enough is enough and going ahead anyway so here’s a thread with things I don’t like but decided were fine.

I like to remind people that nobody else will ever know how good the thing you WANTED to publish was, so all of those flaws that stand out to you are invisible to them (And you just posted them all here for everyone to see, with screenshots!)

My favorite advice for blogging remains that you should hit publish while you are still actively unhappy with what you have written, because the only alternative is a huge folder full of drafts and never publishing anything at all
