As an avid reader I am /less/ inclined to purchase a book from someone who seems really concerned with branding, marketing, etc. It's like they lose sight of what hooks me as a reader.<br /><br />Authors that are REAL are the ones I'm likely to follow/support. Bonus points for the ones that interact with people.<br /><br />Personally I've not had to wrestle with this yet. Nothing I have is even close to publication. But if I appear to be turning into one of those obnoxious BRAND people I give Mason permission to practice his ninja assassination skills on me.Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008900044538241825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8096826151192174250.post-272428413781512172011-11-30T08:02:33.851-08:002011-11-30T08:02:33.851-08:00What's a girl to do?

I should just hop on the luxury car ride and save myself some work.<br /><br />Branding is tough because you want to be noticed but you also want to be sincere. I want to be myself but I don't want to be obnoxious. And, unfortunately, I am obnoxious.<br /><br />Let's armchair it on Tuesday! <br /><br />MercedesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8096826151192174250.post-36075589952592663922011-11-30T07:18:17.767-08:002011-11-30T07:18:17.767-08:00I've kept myself awake thinking about it, for ...I've kept myself awake thinking about it, for sure. Do I blog about the right topics? Do I tweet enough? Are my tweets funny enough? Is the fact that my website is flash limiting me from iPad/iPhone users?

"Super-cool, pensive, funny, musical dad who also writes science fiction among other things, and has deep Christian roots, alongside a super-cool writer-musician wife." How'm I doing? I think it is about being yourself. There is definitely only one you.Donna Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965996503647660803noreply@blogger.com
