It Isn't About Money . . .
My work as a writer isn't about making money. If I make some, cool. The fact is I still give my book away even though it's for sale. It's not like I don't want to make money but I do want folks to read the book, whether it sells well or not.
My writing is about giving something to the world–Lord knows I've taken enough :-)
I live on a small military pension and I'm working to promote my recent novel amidst the arrival of over 2,000 new books per day.
All I have to invest in getting the word out is my time. So, I spend it lavishly…
My most recent time-recipient is Google Plus, the newest social networking platform.
One of the people I interact with there is Sarah Hendrix. She is, in her own words, a "Writer who specializes in letting the characters take the story in their direction, not hers." Now that I can understand :-)
In her recent blog post, It isn't about money, she, in her own way, speaks my mind on the value of the investment of effort, care, and purpose, rather than money.
Do read Sarah's post. You'll be making a good investment of your time………
