Well, I’ve been persistent for a long time, but now and then I’m told that while I’ve got creative talent, unless I get lucky with gaining exposure, nothing I do will amount to much. Hmm...

@arekwolf, not to make light of things, but that sounds like a veiled sales pitch from someone who's skilled at "personal branding."
Without doubt, we do have to "make ourselves visible" with some kind of personal marketing, but I would say whoever said that to you made a rather harsh indictment.
Ha ha ha, it kind of sounds like that, but it’s got stuck in my mind because only yesterday a writer who’s been around here for ages told me the almost exact same words. Now I don’t know how much trust I should put in him, but the fact is the particular story of mine we were chatting about has been featured in the O.C.D. Curation Daily and yet garnered only 40 views in four days. That’s really not a lot, considering the size of the platform. Anyway, I’ll keep trying for that lucky break, I suppose.
