I’m winding down
the romance writing business
but my pen name
hasn’t told anyone.
The pen name
hasn’t told readers
or my editor
or fellow writers.
No one should know.
I’ve been receiving
semi-frantic requests
for minor character stories
from readers.
They somehow know.
Your customers pay
closer attention
to what you’re doing or feeling
than
you likely think.
Assume your ‘secrets’
won’t remain secrets
for very long.
Make decisions
and tailor your communications
to reflect that.
