I write a lot more than I publish, and one of my goals for 2026 is to release more of my writing. I'm going to think aloud and learn in public much more. If this resonates for you, here are a couple of great quotes I've recently come across to nudge you to publish more too:

"Get comfortable publishing things that aren’t perfect. I know many people who wait too long to publish and, well, never do. They do this for years. If they’d gotten the ball rolling back then, they’d be better writers today. It’s weird: you’d think regular private writing would be sufficient to get better. But it isn’t. There’s no stakes. No feedback. The only way to get better is to ship." – Drew Breunig

"If you're not releasing then you're just journaling. If you're not posting it publicly, if you're just keeping things to yourself, then you need to admit that's just a journal. You're not really being a writer, you're just journaling for yourself. I think to be a writer, the unspoken necessity of that definition is that you have to release it to the world, otherwise it's just your diary." – Derek Sivers
