I really liked this quote:

“If all you can manage is to type incoherently for 37 minutes, come up with one-and-a-half headlines, and you have to close your eyes before hitting ‘Publish’ and right after run away, that’s fine.”

Preach! Way to go! Hell yeah! Keep it coming Megan Holstein !!!

One of my best-performing articles ever was 100 words and took me under 20 minutes. I rarely get revisions from my work, but this one was a mess (all headlines, no body), so I reformatted it. Still under 200 words. And that’s gotten 6K views while my typical curated articles gets 1K.

Based on engagement, that means closing my eyes, hitting publish, and running away was a brilliant idea!
