Oh, hi friends! I’ve talked a lot about the “long game,” which isn’t a game so much as a way to keep yourself consistently churning and not disappointed with each new lateral move or rejection or silence. This idea of the long game is comforting. You can tell yourself it’s OK that no one read, saw, or experienced that work you made. Or if they did, and they didn’t like it, or made little hmms or sighed, which you took to mean they didn’t like it, well, the long game helps there, too. You are racking up experiences, and besides, this wasn’t going to be the last piece of work you shared with the world, or your single greatest career move. This is, oh, this is another line on your Excel sheet. You’re adding ‘em up.
Are you putting it off for the right reasons?
