Real Life Networking Example for Writers

How does #networking really work? Does meeting people really matter? What about keeping in touch? Here's an example from my #writing life and career where it made a big difference.
__________________________
You're a terrific writer - accomplished, hardworking and going places. But there's all this 'stuff' in the way. Some of that is info. Some of that is emotional challenges (fear, imposter syndrome, anxiety). How do you move through it all? With the stuff they DON'T TELL YOU in grad school or writing classes. In Hollywood, there's the OUTER game and the INNER game - and your job is to master both. That's the way to get ahead and live to tell the tale.

Yes, the networking is so important. You just never know where opportunity can come from. Also, the fact that you stayed ready, not giving up because someone says, "Not right now." Fantastic story, thanks for sharing. I just found you and subbed. :) I'm a music creative who inspires ambitious creatives through courses, speaking events, and sharing my experiences of living my passion 15 years outside the 9-to-5. Enjoyed the vibe here!
