What's a Writer to Do?

In the midst of my recent angst over the mandate to develop an author platform on social media, I stumbled upon a great post written by author Jody Hedlund in which she emphasizes, "Whether we self-publish or go the traditional route, a fiction writer's MAIN job is WRITING BOOKS."

Reading this post was like smoothing aloe vera on the sunburn of my overheated brain. I'll continue to develop my author platform, but I'm putting writing books and articles firmly back into first place on my priority list.

Read Jody's post here, and Step Away From the Tweet. At least until your first draft is finished.
