The personality that makes us creative also tends to make us flaky. Guarantee you will lure at least two writers and a musician. Don’t believe me? Just turn on a pen light and dance it across the wall at a Starbucks. I firmly believe that the arts have such a tremendously high failure rate due to one simple reality-we artsy types have the attention span of a fruit bat on crack. Writing for a career takes an incredible amount of discipline. There are a lot of reasons that this job is not for everyone. Myth #2-If we do social media, we just won’t have the discipline to get back to the writing. So this idea that we have to smother people to be memorable is flawed. It was a teacher we had for 9 months of our childhood or a grandparent who lived 5 states away whom we only saw on special occasions. Who do you remember most? Often the people who made the most impact on our lives weren’t there 24/7. I want people who offer a great conversation. But, it is likely people will unfollow us because we never shut up.ĭo you like hanging around people who have this itching need to fill the air with words, no matter how vapid? I don’t care for people who talk to hear themselves talk…namely because they are interrupting me doing all the talking. Kidding! No, the angry clown is a total lie. In fact, if we do? An angry clown will jump out of our computer and bite off our face. Myth #1-We have to spend hours on Twitter and Facebook to be effective. So, today, we are going to do some myth-busting. Yes, we do have time, but it is easy to buy into the lie that we don’t. Yet, one thing I keep hearing over and over is how writers simply do not have tiiiiiiiiime to do social media. Now that we are in the Digital Age, I hope it has become crystal clear that a strong social media platform drastically improves our odds of being successful authors.
