After You Ship, Stay Open


Reader,

Before publication, openness to feedback helps you have a productive orientation toward responses to your work. Those responses might be positive or negative.

Until next time, keep honing your craft.

Blessings,
David

Reader, Human experience works out such that inside any "yes" to one thing is also a "no" to something else. But saying yes to some activities yields far better results than others. So, it's key to discern and focus on which activities those are. Until next time, keep honing your craft. Blessings,David P.S.: A rising tide lifts all boats.
