Just get your thoughts out there. Then worry about making it good. Read an insane amount more. Sign up for every single magazine you can find and afford. Sign up for Any New Books and send every sample ebook to your Kindle or phone Country Email List that looks even remotely interesting. Throw more books away. Bad books are a sunk cost. It’s not worth pouring more time into them. Throw it away and start a new one. There’s an infinite amount of good ones out there. Don’t give them a: too long; didn’t read.
