Creative Thursday in Chinese

Creative thursday in chinese

When my book came out, I opted out of a lot of traditional "marketing" methods to reach a bigger audience. I don’t know why? really? other than I was tired and I have a hard time asking people to promote my work. And right now as you know from my earlier post about teaching online, I don’t feel like shouting over everyone.

Honestly, I feel like enough people out there know me and what I do, and I’d really prefer, if they chose to promote or share my work because they feel inspired too not because I asked and not out of any obligation. So I quietly decided that if this book was meant to have a life, it would all on its own. And if not? that would be ok too.

I like to think quality work created with heart and excellence will always find its audience. While I know my work is not for everyone, this book is something I will always be proud of.

I had always hoped it would find it’s way in the world and considering a Chinese version arrived at my doorstep yesterday and, I received the nicest email from someone reading it in Brisbane Australia this morning - I think it is! finding it’s way.

Hi Sweetheart, I am reading your book (the English version) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands! Enjoying it very much. Lots of eyeopeners for me.
Thank you for sharing your 'thing' with the world.
(I also really loved your post about being 41, I will be this summer, and I already know I will re-read it then)
Love, Merel
Congratulations on the Chinese version, Marissa!
Such an amazing journey to watch. My tiny bear sits quietly on my art desk so every time I look at it I remember all your inspiring words. Your journey is one to be admired. Thanks for being honest and authentic.
Thank you so much Jenni. I remember that tiny blue bear, so happy to know he is still bringing you joy.
