So although I have a backlog of non-standard blog UX treatments I want to play with, I'm probably going to fiddle a different SSG in future... @eleven_ty and @astrodotbuild look promising 🤔 #buildinpublic

I have many more letters in mind, and would love early feedback on drafts before they go live.

It was a bit scary at first, but I'm getting more comfortable with the #buildinpublic ethos the longer I keep it up 🙏

Feedback request please!

Planning to launch my side project later this month but still haven't figured out what to call it yet 🙃

Was originally thinking "Letters to a Young PM" but not sure about "young" (is it limiting if taken literally?). Any suggestions?

#buildinpublic crew, do you have any go-to podcasts for when you're feeling stuck?

A few of mine - @unthinkableshow akimbo.link @feisworld seekingwisdompodcast.drift.com - always looking for more inspo!

Whew, this one has been tricky to nail down. Getting warmer but I think still needs some work

Ironically having a bit of holiday break helped me make progress! I felt less stuck when I came back with fresh eyes 👀 #buildinpublic

Thinking about the #buildinpublic movement, personality tests, and the 'YAY' in this week's (and last's... so week-and-a-halfnotes?) #weeknotes medium.com/captains-log-s…

Granted, not every week will show massive progress. Writing well is hard to rush.

That said - I've been working through the feedback on draft 2, and think I'm on the cusp of having draft 5 ready for review this week 🙏 #buildinpublic

Been a few days since my last #buildinpublic update - I don't have one. Life got in the way, but I'm going to dust myself off and get back to it tomorrow morning

Plan for tomorrow: start with low hanging fruit - I've got feedback on draft articles to incorporate 🙏

Here's a look inside my 'editorial' process 👀

Have learned the importance of being clear why you're writing before you start writing, so am always making that the first thing before I even create the blank draft

#buildinpublic

I wasn't sure I'd be writing the letters in order. But I guess I am for now? Second now in progress ✍️

Grateful to have already received some very useful peer feedback for the first one, I ought to be able to move it to 'done' during the week! 🙌 #buildinpublic

Daily progress is my aspiration, but habits take a while to form. I missed yesterday's 10 mins, so I added in a second 10 mins this evening to make up for it

Luckily I also have regular #buildinpublic updates as part of my WIP, so am using this time for that 🙃

...things I might otherwise let slip:

- A reminder of the last time I shared a #buildinpublic update
- An ongoing task to reach out to others for support (I'm really bad at this!)

@MeetKevon ☺️ would love to see, Kevon. Thanks for everything you're doing to champion the #buildinpublic movement - keep it up!

I'm planting a flag. 🚩 And committing to #buildinpublic.

I'm going to be shipping the project (codename Letters) this year (Dec 31, 2022).

It's a series of letters addressed to a young product manager - the kind I wish someone had written me earlier in my journey.
