Man, just came here to say how good it was to read this. I share a lot of the same thoughts as Chelsea and often find those thoughts are not the norm. Good to hear someone else with a similar mindset is so successful. Thanks to you both!

I’m a longtime “hobby” writer dipping my toes into the deep end and getting serious. I loved so much about this interview, but especially what you said about promoting yourself authentically. The social media slog and expectations can feel so…wrong, or at least not true to the task at hand. Thank you for validating that and so much more!

Thank you so much for sharing this! I completely agree – the pressure of social media can really feel at odds with the creative process. Chelsea’s perspective on promoting yourself authentically really resonated with me too. Finding ways to connect with readers that feel true to you makes all the difference. Wishing you the best with your writing journey!

A story doesn't have to be big, it can be simple and still be just as important to the reader.
