Hello Inkshare Community! I am a new member here, and I just thought the best way to start off would be introducing myself through the forums, because what’s the point in being timid about it. My name is Christopher Brown, Chris for short. I was raised in the Southeastern part of Pennsylvania, a relatively rural area. My stories were usually a private affair, not really meant for other people. And in all fairness that was partially due to not having the most supportive of environments (but that’s a whole can of worms that you good people don’t need to concern yourself with). In short, after doing some storytelling,  and some light writing I thought that I’d try out Inkshare with the possibility that a hobby might become something that can lead me in cool directions. So lets have a good time, and hopefully I don’t wear thin on you all.

Here’s a piece of advice I’m trying to take to heart myself:

Success is not a zero-sum game.

Translation: If someone else’s lousy book does well because it was well-marketed (and likely because it was well-marketed to an audience that was already receptive to it), that doesn’t mean your lesser-known book now has had its audience mulcted from it.
