I had a similar conversation with Mallory. I'd cleaned up the habits in my personal life, but I'd been filtering my author persona heavily, until that bitch talking to you pissed me off. I wanted to keep a positive brand, and I still will, but if I stay bland and keep to myself I'll never be interesting enough to pull an audiance. Even if my writing is great. Hang in there brother. Can't wait to see what you do next.
thank you. This so badly needs to be said. It will help me, but also many others.

Thanks for the reminder! I need to hear that every once in a while. Hugs!
