If you’ve built a publishing practice, it might be feeling stale right now. You might think it’s feeling bland or generic. You might question whether it’s really worth doing. This is a sign that your taste is developing. Your taste is growing and you’re looking at your own work with a very senior, experienced lens. This is a good sign to push your writing into weirder, deeper territory. Talk about the way your industry really works, not how everyone else thinks it works. Developing opinion is continuous work that is never done.

Don’t ask rhetorical questions. These questions always break momentum and displace your authority as the speaker onto your audience.
