But for those of us who have something to give. We should give it our all. Put yourself out there. (If you are not hurting anybody?) what is actually the worst that could happen?

Not really. Unless you've won, and your story is completed. In which case. YOU REALLY NEED A COMMA in your life. A comma indicates a natural break between connected ideas. You need them in your story, you need them in your life.
Today we talk about the necessity of the comma; the natural break.

12pt FontDay 14 | Public ApologyHey, day 14! What's good?
Diversity. The answer is diversity.
Today is all about how to write a diverse cast of characters, and why it's important. Honestly, it's about being selfish with your creativity, and creating incredible stories. Also, diversity adds a sense of realism that is often overlooked. Also, good inclusion means you never have to apologize for bad inclusion. So…Here's how to not be problematic, while also expanding your writing potential. 😁. Ya welcome.
