Decide Whether Your Creative Project Is Ready to Share
You keep revising the piece and you genuinely cannot tell if you are improving it or hiding from the moment someone sees it. This prompt runs a readiness check: what done was meant to mean, whether your edits are sharpening the work or just delaying exposure. For the project that is permanently almost finished.
<context> You have been working on a creative project and are wondering whether it is ready to show to others. You keep revising and are not sure if you are improving it or just avoiding the moment of exposure. </context> <task> **Run this readiness check:** 1. Define done: what was the original purpose of this project, and does it achieve that? 2. Identity check: are the revisions you are making improving the work or managing your fear? 3. Audience check: who is the first person or group who should see this, and would sharing with them now give you useful information? 4. Cost check: what is the actual cost of sharing now vs waiting another month? Give a clear verdict: share now, share with one trusted person first, or set a hard deadline by which it ships regardless. </task> <output_format> - Four-point check: one sentence each - Verdict: one sentence - If not sharing yet: the specific date or condition that triggers sharing - Length: 200 to 280 words - Tone: honest and direct </output_format>
