Why write? Why not? Be sure to advertise on my website for free:)))))

Recently, I’ve talked to afinancial consultant with a fantastic children’s book idea, a 90-year-old retiredpainter with a multi-generational family story, and other people who haveawesome ideas but little understanding of the publishing industry because theyoperate, professionally, in totally different industries. We aren’t bornwriters any more than a man is born a banker or a woman is born a scientist. Weall have stories to tell, and my #1 job as a writing instructor, editor,publisher, and book marketer is to encourage people to actually tell (WRITE) theirstories. Only then can I help them with editing, publishing, and marketing. Thepandemic opened up countless hours of free time for many people, and those bookideas floating around in heads across the world started FINALLY leaving headsand landing on screens and paper. In this video, a young lady shares herexperience as a writer. Even better, she explains how writing generally helps us.If you have an idea, write!
