This, of course, causes a walk outside of my comfort zone. To increase my book sales, I need to hire someone to help with marketing. There are a lot of different options out
Learning not to be afraid of money and its relationship to your art. When you do a hobby, it is entirely for your own edification. You do the thing you do for fun, because it makes you feel good, and because it stirs creative juices and produces life-affirming endorphins and so on.
