141: How did you get "brave enough" to talk publicly about being a romance author?

from Author Diary Entries · host Sagan Morrow

Today we are answering a listener-submitted question: How did you get "brave enough" to talk publicly about being a romance author? This question was posted by Morgan Starling Writes on an Instagram post back in Feb 2022, in which she said, “I'm hesitant to post pictures of my face on here because of my "day job", so to speak. But at the same time, it feels like there's no balance to the interaction with those whose faces I do get to see! How do you, fellow smut writers or readers, go about it? Did you start out anonymously, too? Was there a point at which you decided: 'Now I'm brave enough'? I just started listening to the podcast of Sagan. It's really cool and she has a beautiful voice. Wonder what she'd have to say about this - Sagan?”In this episode, I share my answer to that question, PLUS some key questions I recommend asking yourself (this is me putting on my Life Coach hat!)WIN BOOKMARKS featuring Sagan’s novels when you publish a review of any of her books between now and April 30, 2023!
