You are correct on all fronts. I read those awful comments. And was offended for you. But 2 days later, I had forgotten all about them. I also know that it's risky to put myself out there. (More than I already am.) And I know that putting in the work as a self-published author can net you more than a book deal. If you're not afraid to pound the pavement.
Thanks for this piece, Cory. I’m starting to see that a fear of being seen may be what’s held me back in many of my endeavors. The ability to handle criticisms and hate at scale as you grow… Got me thinking! 🤔
This inspires me to get even bolder and keep posting - I just need to remove my dunce cap, pop a philosophical xæñæx and keep doing it. Im looking forward to learning more from you Cory 🤍 #IconBehavior
I've sold over 100,000 books (for real) but through using email marketing (MailChimp, Systeme.io, and collaborating with other authors in my genre via BookFunnels--I write fiction.
I'm venturing into Substack because I like the email part of it and "owning" your list versus renting it via other social media platforms.
Thanks for this post and all your other helpful feedback.
Awww Cory this is so amazing!! Proud of you ❤️❤️❤️

If people are leaving hate, I like to try to name 5 comments I read recently on social media.I can never do it. Everyone forgets everything so fast.

Fear of being seen is real. At some point, you just have to let what others think and say about you go. It's a work in progress. Best of luck to you!

Lol! "Pop a philosophical Xanax."
If you got any spares, send 'em my way.
Following ya! I love queer content.
This is very inspirational!
