I was part of a discussion
on the future of writing.
One author said straight out
that if the future of writing was advertising,
she wasn’t interested.
Hold up.
Wait a minute.
You don’t know what the “advertising” deal is,
yet you’ve already excluded yourself
from that conversation?
Dumbness.
Even if I didn’t want to go that route,
I’d still like to hear what my competition was doing.
Keep open to ideas
and yourself part of the conversation.
