First Draft Club

Admitting failure publicly:

The second cohort of /firstdraft has been a big disappointment

I don’t blame the participants – I didn’t invest in the experience as much as I should’ve (possibly because I was a member of the first cohort myself)

The second cohort was launched somewhat prematurely (while the first was still happening). At the time I thought I was building on momentum,  but looking back I believe I failed to set the tone / expectations to ensure a strong start

Been taking some time to think about how to make v3 a fun and successful experience for everyone :)

I appreciate your honesty and transparency about the second cohort of /firstdraft. It takes a lot of courage to admit failure publicly. It's great that you're reflecting on what went wrong and thinking about how to make v3 a better experience for everyone. I'm sure with your dedication and commitment, the next cohort will be a huge success. Good luck!
