How I went from never publishing anything online (not even a blog post)...

To being half-way through drafting a book 👇

I'm writing a book.

At least, I'm trying to...

30 days to draft a quick book.

Today is day 13/30.

So far, I've missed 3 days of writing.

Until today, I was feeling confident… but now I'm not even sure if I'll end up with anything useable in the end.

But if Ship 30 has taught me anything...

It's this:

Don't give up.

Put in the reps.

Show up every day and write.

Some days will be a home run.

Some days, the Twitter algorithm will like you and your writing will take off.

Other days, you'll write, and work hard, and post.

And no one will notice.

That's not the point.

The point is: You're creating.

You're practicing.

You're experimenting.

And you're getting better.

Because of you - I'm going to keep writing my book.

I want to hide.

I want to give up.

I want to take back that I said I'm writing a book.

But I'm going to be brave.

To show you that YOU can do this.

You can do anything you want.

I'm scared.

But I'm going to do it anyway.

And if I fail...

Well, at least I tried.

At least I experimented.

And I'll learn something.

I'll practice and I'll get better.

So, I know you can, too.

Because you're awesome.

And your dreams deserve the chance to live.

So, I'll take the plunge.

Because if I can do it - you definitely can 🌿
