Your Writing

Less than 1% of your writing will be life-changing.

3% will be trivial to write.

4% will strongly resonate with others in a way you didn’t expect.

5% will be quite good.

15% probably should’ve never been published.

26% will elicit a reaction you did not expect. Positive or negative.

28% will become vastly better because you chose to edit.

30% will start as one piece but finish as another.

40% will be good solid writing.

45% will do much worse than you expect when published.

60% of your writing will never be finished. Be ok with that.

100% of your writing is worth your time. 1
