476: Lesson 1 – Jump First, Build After

Welcome to DIY MFA Radio, where I do a deep dive into the writing life as well as the craft and business of writing. Today's episode kicks off our series: Ten Lessons from Ten Years of Podcasting. This is Lesson 1 – Jump First, Build After. Have you gotten the DIY MFA Starter Kit yet? This is a two week email series full of worksheets to help you DIY your MFA, so you can get the "knowledge without the college." You'll learn more about how to write with focus, read with purpose, and build your community. You'll also receive Writer Fuel, our newsletter full of words of wisdom and resources to help you keep the momentum going in your writing. And you'll be the first to hear about other fun goodies we only share via email. Best of all, it's free to join! You can sign up with your email at diymfa.com/join . In this episode I discuss: Why it's important not just to build something, but build the right thing. How failure plays into innovation, and why we should accept it rather than avoid it. How originality is about the execution of the idea, rather than the idea itself. Why it's crucial to embrace the concept of "good enough." For more info and show notes: diymfa.com/476
