I was bummed
because there was
a huge Facebook party
celebrating an important event
in my niche
and my pen name (brand)
wasn’t invited.
The slots were full.
I couldn’t invite myself.
I fumed about it for a day
and then I hosted my own events,
hosting multiple parties
in multiple groups.
Yes, that was spiteful
but it was also predictable.
As a writer in the niche,
I was expected to do
SOMETHING.
It turns out…
those created events
were more successful
than the event
I wasn’t invited to.
It is okay to let
spite fuel you.
No one except you
needs to know
that was your motivation.
If you’re not invited
to a big event,
create your own event.
