When Should You Practice, and When Should You Publish?

Write your best stories—and know when to let go and publish them.

In order to write great books, you first have to learn how to write great books.

But when it comes to writing, there’s always something more to learn.

So how do you know when to practice your writing skills—and more importantly, when to publish the stories you’re creating?

That’s what I’m talking about in this episode.

In it, you’ll learn:

• 2 benefits and 1 danger of spending focused time learning new writing skills
• The joy—and risk!—of publishing using the skills you already have
• How to leverage the benefits of both learning and publishing in your writing
• A self-assessment quiz to see what you should focus on next
• And more!

So are you practicing or publishing? There’s no right or wrong answer. It’s just a question of which approach is best for you, right now.
