One of the glories and terrors of working in public is that you do see if your output means anything to anyone.
If you want to persuade people, you've got to talk with your heart. You've got to talk about why your policies matter to them.
You can type things on the Internet. You can have no credentials in any area and just get on your smart phone and write whatever you want.
For any writers at all, read everything you can and then put your butt in the chair and write. That's all there is to it.
All these things that enter your head are assignments. You write them up and then throw them out there and if someone wants to do it, your assignment is done.
If you have got the public in the palm of your hand, you can be sure that is where they want to be.
Then you figure out that if you don't throw it as hard as you can, you can put it where you want. It's more important where you put it.
This is all you have. This is not a dry run. This is your life. If you want to fritter it away with your fears, then you will fritter it away, but you won't get it back later.
You can't just hoard your ideas inside the ivory tower. You have to get them out into the world.
