What if your story isn’t something you perfect… but is it something you test? Cathy L. Davis and I keep coming back to this shared belief around testing, basically: You don’t know what works until you put it into the world. Not in marketing or messaging. Not even when you publish a book. So, where do you choose for your testing ground? Social media? Your email list? An anthology book? Cathy has shown me how anthologies are not just about becoming an author; they are a testing ground. You write a chapter, share your idea, and watch what happens. We talked about why testing your voice matters MORE than perfecting it and what signals to look for to make sure the message landed. Confidence doesn’t come from thinking about your message; it comes from how people respond to it. If you have been overthinking your next step in sharing your story, check out our conversation.
