Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your thoughts. I'm sure they'll prove helpful in finding my target audience and building communities in the future. I think one of three things that's the toughest to embrace is that it takes time, effort and consistent effort and commitment to make anything worthwhile happen.
I think you're absolutely right about every writer being their own brand to some extent. I guess that's what prompted me to reach out and write this. To get perspective and find out more about my perspective audience.
Thanks again for your thoughts!
Best of luck. I hope you find your community.
