My July release
is the best story I’ve ever written.
My editor loved it.
I can’t, however, guarantee
that other readers will love it.
That’s out of my hands.
I CAN guarantee
that someone will hate it
with a fiery passion,
giving it a one star review on Amazon.
That’s a certainty.
Why?
Because someone always hates my stories.
Someone always hates anything I do.
I suspect that
someone always hates
that I’m doing.
Someone will hate that
you’re doing also.
They’ll sh*t all over your work.
But don’t let that stop you.
As Seth Godin
shares
(this blog post is
a must-read for any creator)
“No one has ever built a statue
to a critic,
it’s true.
On the other hand,
it’s only the people with statues
that get pooped on
by birds flying by.”
Build something,
a statue,
worth pooping on!
