HaveTheGutsToShip

I’m writing this post to myself.  And sharing it just in case you need the same reminder I do. The past two weeks I’ve written far more than I’ve published on this blog. I write and I write. And then I hit “Save Draft” instead of “Publish.” The post is done.  Almost.  I want to [...]
