One of the advantages of being creative in the digital age is that it’s incredibly easy to tweak your work, making enhancements or corrections as the need arises. I’m thinking about my posts here, of course, but the ability to make updates applies to more and more of what we do.
I try to keep this in mind as I share my creations, particularly when I am running into my desire to have my work perfect before sharing it with anyone. When we know that we can fix mistakes, it makes it easier to move forward with “shipping” our digital content.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t exercise care and try to make things right, because we still need to care in order to grow. There is a middle ground between apathy and being paralyzed with fear.
The ability to fix our mistakes can be liberating in those situations where the possibility presents itself.
