It so often feels like a book's sales will inevitably decline as time passes; you've shown us that this isn't necessarily so.

Creators are often introverts, needing alone time to produce work. Marketing means doing a 180 degree turn to be completely extroverted. It's not impossible, just means moving out of the comfort zone. I feel conflicted with this pull to be outward--which is very time consuming--when I want to go inward for the next work.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09408845654668250300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339010711047634783.post-21852679795400764672012-03-05T07:50:49.568-08:002012-03-05T07:50:49.568-08:00I am with you in the end, Stephanie.
