    I read Nathan’s post too, and thought it was interesting that a couple of weeks ago, he basically had the same message that my marketing team had: don’t try to do everything, but instead do what you like because it will show. I think his blanket statement in yesterday’s post, is just a tad misleading, but I understand what he’s saying too. Just my thoughts! 🙂

    Jody, what I loved is the insider’s view you gave us. So many posts talk in generalities about what we should be trying, that it’s easy to get overwhelmed. And, like you said, Nathan’s post a few weeks ago talked about doing what works for YOU.

    It was so interesting, though, to read your first-hand experience up against the now-dead idea of the reclusive author. With his post alone, I’d feel overwhelmed. Tempered with yours, it feels doable.

    I always love what you (and he!)add to the conversation.
    Thanks!
