Looking elsewhere may seem like the grass is greener than where you are standing, but in most cases it is not.
What am I getting at?
Let's say, for example, that I write a bunch of stories in a certain genre and it doesn't seem to stick with readers. So I pick another genre and do the same thing. Nothing. Then I see that a certain new genre is making the charts so I switch to that.
Again, nothing.
What seems to be the problem? Well, it's . . . you. You are the problem. Work on improving your craft, whatever that may be, because switching genres or moving to a larger city, just because you think you can gain more sales (even though you already have existing clients) is the wrong move.
Because when you get there, the grass looks like where you first were. In fact, it may even be worse.
More on this next week . . .
