I've been reading a lot lately about tribes. Not the Native American kind (I have one but we lost touch over the past few generations), but the kind that I belong to as a writer.
I don't want to write just for fun. I write for fun and satisfaction, true. But I also want to be read. I want to write about things that matter to other people, things they want to read. I want to influence people, make them think, make them laugh, make change in the world. To me, that is success.
So I've been doing some soul searching, some reading, some serious research. How can I become more successful as a writer?
Seems the first step is to identify and build my platform by figuring out who my tribe is.
