There’s only one way to know performance, and that is to measure it. Sound lame? Well, there are those who say what happens outside doesn’t matter, that what’s inside is what counts. Unfortunately that’s untrue – as a writer you have to have a platform or you’re basically fecked. I don’t want to be fecked. I’ve been fecked for far too long.
So I have decided to make some changes – course corrections actually. At least that’s what I’m hoping. The first one being that I’ve added a new category to my blog called “Writing Help” and added several older posts that were inspirational or helpful. Over time I’ll be adding more.
Up to now I’ve refrained from doing much in that direction because, quite frankly, as an unpublished author I’m hardly qualified to tell others how to get published. But it occurred to me that I do have one quality that may be useful to others. Through it all I’m still pounding away trying. I haven’t quit. I have good days, bad days and many worse days where I never, ever want to be, but still the story smolders, calling me back, beckoning me to try once again to grow the ember into the inferno I know it will be.
It’s all about platform, baby, and I think I might finally have mine. 😉
