Show up.
Be honest.
Be real.
Be helpful.
Do what you say you’re going to do.
And don’t quit when you feel like quitting.
Ps. You’ll often feel like quitting (writing) until you eventually get to the point where not writing is never an option.
If there ever was a common man’s nirvana, it may be writing like you mean it, like it matters, like someone will benefit because you have the guts to ship, day after day after day.
