Four words on repeat
Oh, hi friends!
There are only so many words you can put down in a different order if you want to communicate the same message, so today I’ll say it in the simplest way possible.
You will do it.
Not “you can do it.” That feels a little wistful. Maybe you can...
But you will. In that one word you have conviction and belief.
You will do it.
That’s what I believe, for you.
Maybe your number is three. Or 13. Perhaps you only change a word or two from draft seven to eight.
But each tiny revision counts. You’re clarifying, chiseling, defining.
I used to think of revisions as homework — and they can feel like that, especially if you’re uninspired by the project from the beginning — but now they feel more like…opportunity.
This was "fun," relatable, on the zeitgeist. Way to go, Saturday Night Live, how did you know we’ve watched Prime Suspect, The Silence of the Lambs, Manhunter *and* Mindhunter, Des, and now The Fall in recent months???
