Time to Stop Being So Damn Impatient When it Comes to Getting a Story Published!
Do you dread having to wait for editors to publish your Medium stories?
What I’m about to share is not something I’m proud of, even though it’s the truth and puts me in a bad light.
When it comes to submitting stories to Medium publications, and having a story accepted, I just hate waiting for editors to decide whether to publish my work.
I guess it’s because it makes me:
- Feel like I’m under a microscope
- Think that I’m being judged
- Worried I’ll receive criticism
- Afraid of being rejected
- Anxious to have my story viewed
Make no mistake, I’m not suggesting for one moment that this kind of thinking is good, or even healthy for a writer.
To the contrary — it’s counterproductive.
But that doesn’t stop it from being true, and I suspect there are lots of other writers out there, who feel exactly like I do.
As much as I love having my stories published in different Medium publications, I still dread the process of having to wait for editors to accept and publish the things I share.
