At practice, at the game, or not at all?

Two options that work:

1. Ship your work via side projects.

2. Ship your work for the day job

Two options that don’t work:

1. Pick someone’s brain (again).

2. Research until you’re “ready”

You can either set up a practice gym to start taking some shots, or you can shoot during the “game.” Either way, nothing gets better in theory. You have to take a lot of shots.

PS: I’m starting to pilot my podcasting workshops. These are online, interactive, and peer-group-based, with a guided system I help lead. Applications are due tonight (Friday, May 1, 10pm Eastern), but they take only about 5 minutes to complete. Here is more information.

The kickoff is May 11.
