3 brutal writing truths I learned as a beginner writer (which I still keep stapled to my desk):

1. I—the writer—am 100% completely and utterly irrelevant.

While it might seem harsh at first, this truth is liberating.

It takes the pressure off "me" and puts it all on the writing itself.

2. The reader does not care about my writing—they care what it does for them.

They do not care how long it took you, how much research you did, or how great you think it is.

And this truth forces you to write from a place of empathy (rather than a place of ego).

3. No matter how good I think it is, it's only as good as the market's reaction.

And finally, this reality check further kills my writing ego.

I could think it was the best piece in the world.

But if the audience doesn't find it:

• Helpful
• Valuable
• Or entertaining

Then I need to accept that feedback, iterate, and try again.

Unfortunately 2 days after Tina launched in the USA we ran out of stock hitting sales bad.

After a mad scramble it is back in stock everywhere.

Any help getting the word out would be appreciated…. (1/3) 🧵

@RealCooperAlan Just got tickets for the Rosemont show! Just discovered you on instagram, saw one of your mashups which lead me to your other music.
The funny thing is I’ve never been a fan of country music. Guess I am now! Can’t wait for the show!

@TheRealHoarse Just got tickets for an Alan Cooper show in the Chicago area! So excited!
