When I’m in my Romance writing persona,
I don’t give non-writing-related
business advice.
You and I know
I COULD do this.
But I SHOULDN’T do this.
Why?
Because people shouldn’t listen
to strangers with no credentials
in a field.
A Romance Writer
who keeps her business background
separate
has no proof
she knows what the f*ck
she’s talking about.
Without that proof,
I shouldn’t be speaking
on the topic.
Because being qualified in one field
doesn’t mean
I’m qualified in a different field.
It is okay
to stay quiet.
It is okay
to let people know
that isn’t our field.
It is okay
to allow
people who DO have
the credentials
to speak.
Doing this
will increase the odds
that
when we DO speak,
people listen.
And please don’t take
investing advice
from fiction writers.
One of the threads
I’m currently following
is hurting my brain.
