A Tale of Two Platforms
If you are going to Substack, then Substack
What do you do when you get inspired? Well, you write, of course (if you are a writer), or paint, sculpt, or create in whatever your field may be. That’s what we do or should do.
But do we?
How many of you actually manifest that wish as soon as it develops in your head?
Who has that kind of discipline?
If you do, kudos to you! I sure didn’t. But I’m seriously working on it. It’s like a must at this point. We get distracted so easily. The world is full of surprises. There’s so much going on in our lives. We must structure ourselves and stick to a plan.
Because if we don’t, the consequences could be disastrous. Imagine (as a writer) that someone is coming in two hours to pick up your manuscript for publication. You would indeed have it by then, wouldn’t you? Imagine your publisher has had enough of you being late. He’s ready to dump you unless you change.
He hates doing that, but you’ll hate it even more.
Why leave things up in the air, hoping that luck will save you? Eventually, even luck gets tired of your nonsense. It’s disrespectful, she says…
