| They're people—NOT numbers! |
As writers, we all know the importance of building an online
following. We spend time crafting valuable blog posts with SEO rich headlines.
We follow others on social media, working to connect. All the while keeping a
sharp eye on those numbers that define success or failure. It’s easy to get
caught up in those numbers.
But the truth is, they’re people—NOT numbers!
We even begin to judge the worth of what we have to say by
those numbers. Let me remind you why you’re doing what you’re doing. Why you
sweat over a keyboard, struggling to find the right word. Why you risk
rejection by submitting those carefully crafted words to editors, agents and
contest judges.
