I have said before to be careful what you post online.
But for creative types, it is imperative to post your work for others to see.
Like writer Austin Kleon says:
“If there was a secret formula for getting known, I would share it with you. But there is only one not-so-secret formula that I know: Do good work and share it with people.”Â
On the other hand, what you say online is permanent.
In his book, Show Your Work, Austin Kleon quotes publicist Lauren Cerand on this:
“Post as though everyone who can read it has the power to fire you.”
That’s a great way to think about it.
I love you.
