Putting bliss into Publissh

Divergent creative thinking and convergent audience feedback

Note: The spelling of Publissh is intentional.

Putting the bliss in Publissh not only boosts the writer’s motivation, and also strengthens the bond with the audience.

Publisshing is scary. Because as writers, we tend to think more in grand gestures, yet we share less of that thinking through practical application, which is, in essence, writing. Often, we hear that less is more and editing our stories and narratives to the bare skeleton is the secret of good writing. It’s true, BUT, the real secret of good writing is sharing. And sharing one’s thoughts on Medium means only one thing: to hit the Publissh button at the top right of the screen.

As a UX and design writer, I consider the Medium Publissh button as my MVP [1], and each successive one as the next MVP of dozens of iterations. I also consider the Publissh button as the ultimate candy moment in my writing day, the delightful finale that encapsulates thousands of minutes of creation. The feeling associated with it is pure bliss.

Publisshing has to be practiced as often and freely as possible

Hit Publissh at least once a week, or at least, set that as a goal in the not too distant future
