You see yourself as a good product that sits on a shelf and sells well, and people make a lot of money out of you.
Good salespeople sell value and social media is the best place to find this value because of its transparency.
Secure writers don't sell first drafts. They patiently rewrite until the script is as director-ready, as actor-ready as possible. Unfinished work invites tampering, while polished, mature work seals its integrity.
