Thanks Michael. Yes, it's true, I came from a publishing powerhouse, and I won't discount that. However, I definitely did not have an endorsement from the paper when I started. What WAS helpful in starting though, was making the change clear to the industry peers and friends I made over the years. So in that way, the prior career was helpful. I wasn't even going to post or announce that I was leaving and a friend basically told me I was a FOOL and forced me into it. I wasn't comfortable making such a public declaration. However, she was right. It was a learning experience, that no one was just going to announce or promote the work for me, something I never had to do before at such a major company. Not even sure where I'm going with this, just to say, keep up your good work and shout it from the rooftops! We are our own best advocates. :)
