The potential for drama
is everywhere.
Two recent examples…
A writing buddy was grumbling
about Best Of lists
and how they pit book against book,
writer against writer.
That’s not how I view
Best Of lists.
I see them as an opportunity
to reach out to
the other writers on the list
and do some great
(and usually crazy)
marketing.
Instead of pitting us
against each other,
these lists bring us closer together.
At a recent party,
someone verbally attacked me,
asking me why I wrote ‘trash.’
I told her I wrote about love and optimism and hope
and wasn’t it sad that, in today’s world,
many people equate that with trash?
She agreed that it was sad.
The conversation flowed around that topic.
The drama was over.
In this reality TV world,
many people think drama is normal.
They try to create it.
But they can’t,
not without help.
Drama depends on two things
–action and a reaction.
You might not have control
over the action
but you have control
over the reaction.
Change that
and you can stop
the drama.
Keep your business as drama free
as possible.
(unless drama IS your business)
