Blogs Terrify Me

Or do they?

I’m certainly being dramatic. I think what really terrifies me is the need to be so freaking careful. I am a naturally honest person - I mean what I say and say what I mean. So, branding, image, perception… I have no real need for any of it. I guess what really bothers me is that something I give no value to will have massive value somewhere else.

Also.

Ha.

Five people that I know personally are going to read this and they couldn’t care less about my branding or image. We will sit back, bicker about if I should have moved a comma here or there, laugh, and be done with the whole thing. So does a comment from a person I will never share the same space with matter? It’s a resounding no - none of the comments matter.

That and I am a life long student of trying to lower my expectations. I have no brand because I have no need of a brand because I am not a brand. Why do I have to be careful with what I say when I have only published one book and it is simply being buried in the flood of books being published every single day? Exactly.

I will only have to be worried if people actually begin to bug me about the books I write. Low expectations keep this worry at bay.

I’m sorry to say I won’t care all the much then ither.
