Are you a parrot when you comment?

The title of this sounds ridiculous, and that's because it 100% is. I wrote a post yesterday about giving yourself permission to suck, and I think a good mantra to go with that is to give yourself permission to be yourself. How often do you comment on something and think "Good god I sound bland?" I think that whenever I talk to someone on LinkedIn. It's like a water cooler conversation at an office I just started at where we're both incredibly uncomfortable and want to go back to our desks. You know what I mean? It's boring, it's bland, it's super repetitive. So, that's all this is about. It's not incredibly special and it's not incredibly technical or launch related. But as a writer, I think we'll all relate more to our key audiences if we stop trying to write how we think we should sound and just how really do. You can connect by doing both.
