After every book release,
some readers send me
messages
with the errors
they’ve found
in the book.
I expect this.
I know the book isn’t perfect.
Perfect is impossible
to achieve
and trying to do that
is a time suck.
Sometimes,
in the case of writing,
achieving grammatical perfection
destroys the emotion
in the scene.
Perfect isn’t my goal.
Making the readers feel
is my mission.
Seth Godin

“Holding back for too long
because it could be
somehow better
than spec,
though,
is a way to avoid
contributing.
And using power or privilege
to insist that others
meet our ever-increasing
but ever-less-useful
standards
is unhelpful.
Better?
Sure. Work for that.
But perfectionism
is a defect.”
Perfect should never
be your goal.
