Wonderful advise! “Focus on your writing” so very true. Taking time to improve our writing is what will make us become the writer we wish to be. Also becoming a jack-of-all-trades in the publishing and marketing business is something to work toward. I’m learning that more and more. 🙂

In reply to Kristen A Kieffer. Thanks, Kristen! :) That takeaway was my favorite from the conference, too, because I agree with 100%. If you spend too much time building your brand and promoting yourself, you won't leave enough time for what you love most and truly want to be known for. ;)

This is fantastic, Sara! I loved reading through some of the major themes from WDC. I especially enjoyed “Focus on Your Writing”.

It’s easy to get caught up in all of the other aspects of maintaining an author brand, so much so that actually authoring something new gets put on the back burner. And this is a big mistake! While finding balance with your author brand is certainly important, your writing should always be #1. Thank you so much for that fantastic reminder, today!
