Here's an account of my experience in DMs.

Here's an account of my experience in DMs.
The fear.
The anxiety in writing DMs was far worse than the anxiety in publishing.
DMs are one-on-one, I'm interacting directly with a PERSON, while tweets are ephemeral, not personal, and I can just delete a tweet if I want.
And therefore, DMs are more meaningful.

My flawed approach.
I started with making a list of people to message. This wasn't helping.
I did not have a single name on the list because I was looking for people I "should" DM. These were big accounts, leaders, mentors. I couldn't even come up with a question to ask them.

I gave up.
Correction: I gave up on that approach.
I made a list of people I was EXCITED to talk to– the friends I've made, people who shared value, helped me out, and above all, people I identify with.
The list was so LONG, I had to note down what I would say to each one.🔥🔥
