I'm not sure if I ever did one early on but I know for a fact I was tempted because it just simply seemed to be working so well for so many others. <----- see what I did there? :)
Instead of sharing the post, people want to write their own because, well, money. I think it's getting out of hand now though. I saw so many today, triggered!...and well I don't need to explain myself.
Thanks for appreciating this one and I can confidently say the tips here, hidden under my strange way of making a point, are valuable. My experience tells me to basically form a personal template and improve upon it as time passes. I'm able to combine everything I have to offer in one solid effort, most days. Sometimes I make a complete fool of myself, but at least I know I can learn from that one post and I don't have to compare it to everything else I did that day. There's my mistake, that's what I'll learn from.
You have many talents. You write well, your photography is awesome and you can perform a song any time you feel like it. So many times I've wanted to close out one my shows with a song at the bottom and roll the credits. I can't do that because that's not my own work! Those people never answer their emails in time. As a matter of fact, they don't talk to anyone. They're big shot celebs. Too cool for me! ...but you can easily do that.
This was a great article. And funny. And made me wince because I'm worried sometimes I look like that. Doing well here really isn't for pansies! :)
This made me laugh. Honestly though, it's sometimes harder to offer the advice than it is to receive it. I'm the one who risks looking like a jerk here, nobody else, everyone is fine! In the end this was just meant to be some fun constructive criticism for everyone to enjoy and hopefully benefit from.
I'll end it with a thank you!
