Promote your best work

Ideally, other people know you for your best work, not your worst work. 

The production value, the thoughtfulness, the collaboration, all makes your best work much more valuable and impressive than your worst work.

Given this principle, you want to put your best work forward as much as you can. When someone asks you about your work, describe your best work first, and talk about the process of making it.

Similarly, make it easy for people to find and share. If someone else is talking about your work with their friends, what would they show them?

Your practice is what you do every day (like me writing at this blog), your performances and projects are what you spend days and weeks preparing for (like me writing my book, or spending dozens of hours on each of these articles here). 

If I had a choice, you would know me for my book or one of those articles. A post like this is just me practicing; I’m happy if you share it, though I’d still point you to the book or articles after.
