Customer service!! What?!?

Like our favorite weapon for the culinary artist who scrubs dem’ dishes said, being happy makes any ones day, and you are going need this as a +20 on your skill chart. *Snort*, Dungeon and Dragons reference! It's not really hard to pick up this skill, but one of the hardest to master. Knowing what people will or will not say. How to sell yourself, how to smile when are you having a bad day, and able to relate to anyone are skills you are going to need. Why is this related to writing a story? Well, you will have to self-promote yourself. As you start your travel writing your own book, and finish publishing your novel. You will be spending sometime in the public. It may be at an Expo, a bookstore, your website, or at a lemonade stand that sells your book instead of lemon-maybe both.

So, what would you like to do with this information? I know you are asking that! How do I get this skill! Well, you should be working to get money, so you should go get a job in customer service. See how people function, see what people do or do not like, and get some skills. It will teach you how to deal with problems, how to deal situation you do not want to be in, and how to interact with people. Making them laugh and smile is the best way to sell yourself. If they see you are happy and inviting person the most likely they are going to see what your book is about. Just think of yourself as Bugs Bunny who is standing on a soap box trying to sell tickets to a freak show. Get them interested, get them to love your story! If this your main goal in your life to write for a living, you will need to do this. You got to sell the tickets to your show,baby! 

Good luck!
