"When you are authentic and vulnerable and real... that's when you reach the people you need to reach, that's when you will be heard." Authors are always looking to reach a wider audience, make more money. This is where it starts! Write authentically, write authentic characters, say what needs to be said, do what needs to be done. Write with your heart and soul. Pour it all out onto the page. That's when your audience will sit up and listen to what you have to say. Have the courage to WRITE OUT LOUD. ππβπ» . "It's not the critics who counts....the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena....if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly..." Art is: Bravery. Courage. Vulnerability. Love. Art is about all of those things and itβs also about showing up and being seen. But when weβre creating we get scared because we know the moment we put ourselves out there, weβre going to see and hear things that make us question why we made the art in the first place. We donβt want to be seen if we have to deal with the critics. Do it anyway, make art anyway. βTell them [critics], I see you, I hear you, but Iβm going to do this anyway.β Because vulnerability is also the birthplace of all the things we crave, love, belonging, joy, trust, empathy, creativity, innovation. βWhen you armor up [against vulnerability] you shut yourself off from everything that you do and love.β BrenΓ© encourages her audience to shed their armor so that you can create what it is that you are meant to create and reach the audience you are looking to reach. βWithout vulnerability you cannot create.β This is why I admire her message so much, when we get down to the vulnerability in art (writing) thatβs when we really reach other people. And all that means is that YOU write what YOU want to write, even if it makes you vulnerable to critics, to readers, to anyone, even yourself. When you are authentic and vulnerable and real... that's when you reach the people you need to reach, that's when you will be heard. πβπ»π .
