The other is, sticking to what works and letting go of what isn't working. Karen, you've seen what a difference that makes.

It's because we have so many interests (in my case, fiction, poetry, and helpful nonfiction for writers) and we have to market some of the work we have done in the past--often so we can earn a living.
