I think that’s a common concern. And I’m so grateful that not only were you able to turn something so negative into a positive experience, but that you’ve been willing to share it with other writers. So thank you for that! I hope others feel encouraged to speak out more freely about things that are important to them without worrying it’ll harm their careers.

Thanks for the kind words Sandra. I’ve been lucky to know Sharon through most of my freelance writing career, and she’s one of the colleagues I trust the most. As professionals, we’re sometimes told to keep the personal out of our businesses. I’ve never believed that. And I’m thrilled Sharon’s been able to successfully incorporate the issues that matter to her into her career. I hope other freelance writers see her example and feel more comfortable to do similar.

Thank you, Jennifer!😀
