“Sell your words, not your soul.” C. Hope Clark
As an introvert and a writer, you feel stretched to choose between the lesser of two evils-marketing to people who’ll most likely criticize you, or putting your writing on the back burner, Introverts have strengths that make them marketable, creative, and successful. Forget those people who tell you to change, to put on a different personality, to dance like a monkey before crowds. Here is the support to be a writer and remain who you care to be. . . genuine.
