CREATOR LIFE
The Reel I Almost Didn't Post

THE SHORT VERSION
I nearly deleted the Reel.
The lighting wasn't perfect. The opening felt a little awkward. And I was convinced nobody would care enough to watch it.
Then I posted it anyway.
It became one of my most-watched videos.

**PERFECT WASN'T
THE REASON PEOPLE STAYED.**
The idea was.
The feeling was.
And maybe that's why it worked.
WHAT I'M DOING DIFFERENTLY NOW
I'm trying to judge content less like its creator and more like its viewer.
01 — WOULD I STOP?
02 — WOULD I WATCH?
03 — WOULD I SEND IT TO SOMEONE?
If the answer is yes, it probably doesn't need another twelve edits.
A LITTLE REMINDER
Sometimes “good enough” is just another name for finally letting people see it.
ANYWAY...
I'm still going to overthink the caption.
