An author friend of mine may be brilliant at writing
but when it comes to public speaking,
she’s a mess.
She’s shy and can’t think on her feet
and…
She gives her first workshop next year.
Why?
Because she was told that could be a great way
to build her readership.
Doesn’t make sense… for her.
There are plenty of different ways
to market any product.
Why use a route she hates?
Why associate that negativity
with her feel good novels?
