So glad I am where I am now...and I mean that about where I actually am, as well as what I do now ;-) Cathy Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03209957178470434907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-18243197166638911452020-05-06T14:44:26.494-07:002020-05-06T14:44:26.494-07:00Love hearing more about your 'other' caree...Love hearing more about your 'other' careers.. and, of course, how they led you (or not) to where you are now.

Dear heavens, some of the outfits I wore. Little Miss Corporate, or what!? LOL!

But strategic marketing planning and marketing communications planning is what I did for thirty years, and it's impossible to leave that mind-set behind. Better to apply it :-)Cathy Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03209957178470434907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-10660076531944414342020-05-06T14:00:38.393-07:002020-05-06T14:00:38.393-07:00Yes, Paul, it's a business, and I think we'...Yes, Paul, it's a business, and I think we're all in a place where we realise how critical each part of the supply chain between writer and reader is. At the moment, we're all using "work arounds" as best we can, and who knows what the "new normal" we be for our business. So much can be done online and direct these days, but the human interaction factor is what remains to be somehow realigned and reestablished in the near future.

But I remember when I was working in another aspect of the writing business some people would remind me it's show 'business' and not to forget that second word. I try not to, but sometimes it's hard.Paul D. Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466234708772287399noreply@blogger.com
