Writers
are often asked to volunteer, give of their time and talents, bend, stretch,
and fed guilt-lines to convince them to edit, speak, teach, write, mentor for
free, read my book and tell me what’s wrong, and the list goes on. You probably
have been posed the same question.
Please
don’t misinterpret my thoughts about helping others. A willingness to serve is
a positive trait for all of us. Unfortunately, too many times we say “yes”
because we feel it’s our obligation to respond positively to all opportunities,
but the art of saying “no” takes guts, planning, determination, and practice.
