Teaching is a Learning Process

Someone asked me for help publishing from the ground up. I gave her the research I had, a link to my blog posts and asked if there was anything specific she needed help with. She now has more followers than me and no book, so I asked what she was doing…

“What you told me to!”

To which I groaned and dropped my head on my desk.

The two of us have been talking back and forth. She’s been coaching me on the social media things, including (but not limited to) calling me stupid for my resistance to post on Twitter. It’s all right though, I don’t take it personally.

I dare say I made an online friend.

She’s more outgoing than I am, is what I believe it is. She has no problem getting up in the morning and saying hello to everyone she sees. Good for her, great for getting people to see that you exist.

I can teach her about marketing and research, how everything works. She can teach me how to use Twitter. I feel like a doddering fool on there and don’t want to say anything at all.
