@framer_x I'm so drawn to this- and I have so many stories I'd love to bring to life. But! I feel like "beginner" isn't a strong enough word for what I am 😅 Is this course a good place to start? Even for a super noob like me?

If you have to exchange life for it, it has a price.

If it gives you life, it’s priceless.

Spend yourself wisely ✨

I once booked a bungalow in Thailand because all the bad reviews said, “The ocean is too loud here.”

Bad reviews can be an asset to your book business, too.

So don’t sweat ‘em.

They deter those who’d only be disappointed while attracting readers who'll relish your work.

@hosun_chung I really enjoyed this, thanks!

Calling yourself an artist isn't about putting yourself under pressure. It's about giving yourself permission to play✨

Stephen King thought Carrie belonged in the trash. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Liz Gilbert's cried on the bathroom floor countless times. Kathryn Stockett's The Help was rejected by agents 60 times.

All authors have low points.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ They're not proof you're on the wrong path.

Dear Ambitious Author,
Give yourself permission to play with proven ideas. Iteration leads to innovation ✨️

Creativity is a muscle. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you flex it regularly, there's increasingly less friction between you and flow state. ⁣⁣Not because the "weight" got lighter, but because you got stronger.
⁣⁣
In other words... Do reps. Reap rewards.⁣💪🔥🚀

@jwginn I'm great! - And sending you good vibes always!✨

[Catherine Toops @CatherineToops]

@klhicks912 Yes! The first terrible review is especially important because it legitimizes your good ones and helps deter others who won't like your work. Plus, some "bad" reviews do a better job of selling books than the blurb!

@infopyles I was just thinking about this. Funny how we can put so much pressure on ourselves to be perfect when those we admire most have made so many more mistakes! 🙃
