We’re conditioned to be nice (women, especially) and to market our stuff to everyone everywhere (whatever that “stuff” is), and we often confuse “being nice" and “marketing” with chasing after people who are not interested in us or in our art. 

This chasing includes posting stuff on social media to people who don’t care, advertising your stuff to people who don’t care, and marketing to people who don’t care.

Stop it. It’s a waste of your time.

Spend your time doing your work. Making your art. Writing your books.

Spend your time on perfecting your craft. Every day. Never ever stop, and never ever let anyone stop you or interrupt you.
