In today’s world, to be a writer we’re told that writing is not enough, you must market your work and do everything in your power to get the word out, even before you’ve written a sentence of your brilliant to-be manuscript.
And there are people who can do all this stuff without ever seeming to break a sweat. Usually they’re young and jobless or highly gifted and self-employed or have a spouse with a day job and thus have time to sit in front of the computer all day.
Either way, whatever the reason those gifted people can do all of that and flip jelly beans in their mouths without ever seeming to care, it can give you the feeling you’re a complete and utter failure, because there’s no way in the world you can maintain all that online marketing and remain sane, employed, or married.
