RE: How to find your voice on steem

in #writing9 years ago

"If your nervous, afraid or worried that's a good sign. It means you are being vulnerable. What your ashamed of usually makes a good story. If it hurts a little to post, then you know your on to something good." Great advice! I do that, and my teacher James Altucher said, "if I don't feel nervous about posting, it means my writing was no good. I ONLY post if feel really nervous." James is a master storyteller. I learned from him. So, that's my rule now too......sometimes I post rewards for people that makes me feel good, that's the only difference. Thanks for the mention! I think you're doing really well here.

Thank you for your support stellabelle! Your brave posts is a big inspiration to me and many others

I was just about to comment on your same quote that stellabelle commented on! I think that is a great measurement on how much of yourself you put behind a post. Also your advice on not being afraid to fail is spot on. My old high school teacher wrote a beautiful post on the subject, specifically about how failure improves performance and about how we can learn more about a person by knowing their failures rather than knowing their successes : https://peter-poutiatine.squarespace.com/news/2014/9/14/the-failure-rsum
