Nothing wrong with becoming a brand (in fact, I've heard it can be quite wonderful), but one reason I became a writer is so I could do something utterly different every day.R.A.

Maybe we can become known as the wildcard brand, someone who always keeps you guessing. I think most authors don't set out to be a brand, or if they do they aren't writing for the right reasons. The only people I can think of that go for that kind of celebrity aren't writers...like Martha Stewart or Donald Trump. It seems their ambition. But for me, I'm not about fame. It's the game that's fun.Kathryn Packer Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16506942804607936833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388578325782539013.post-62961389566876494172011-03-02T08:35:22.961-05:002011-03-02T08:35:22.961-05:00To answer your question - Do the folks who become ...To answer your question - Do the folks who become Brands set out to do so? I can't answer for everyone, but for me it just happened. I'd be writing a chapter for book one and a scenario for book two would take over and I'd have to write that. Now with book two almost complete I'll have to start working on all the storylines I have for book three.Kathy Piccianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482098244203030454noreply@blogger.com
