This week I went on a rant (it’s kind of my thing) about ignoring your critics – even your own inner critic – and doing your thing. We all start somewhere and we all get better with time. It’s easy for someone to sit on the outside and say you did it wrong, but much harder to be out there getting it done.
In this episode:
- Two separate Twitter convos inspired this week’s episode – one on whether you can like someone who sucks at their art and the other about non-helpful criticism.
- There’s a difference between the critic and the person doing something. The critic has the easy job.
- You will never be as good as you want to be. That’s okay. The point is to keep doing it anyway and you will improve.
- Some improvement comes with practice.
- Much of it comes with learning new ideas, exposing yourself to new things, and actively trying to get better.
- Another tweet that I saw and loved addressed not being amazed that some creators and professionals know how to do things – we Googled it, and you can too.
- But you never improve if you don’t hit publish or make your thing.

First time I have listened to one of your podcasts (yes I know, shame on me) and I loved it. Not because you mentioned the Smut Marathon (thanks for that) but because of your bubbly voice and what you have said. Yes, if we don’t start on something we love and keep on coming back, we will never get better!
