Introverts - Promoting books without leaving the house

Johnny Carson gave you permission to stay at home and write.

There are many personality assessments or examinations, but a basic and important: They are an introvert or an extrovert?

Professional speaker and coach Max Dixon shows that

Writers are introverts in general,

Speakers tend to be extroverted and

Actors are often introverted.

Yes, blossom, not many players until they get in their role.

That could explain why so manyPlayers do not want to be seen in public. They are not only the avoidance loyal fans, they are to avoid contact with humans. As introverts, they are very private.

Max explains that introverts need individual, quiet time to collect enough energy and courage to gather with other people.

Extroverts, on the other hand, spend time with other people in order to gain enough energy and encouragement to spend time alone.

He feels some anxiety extrovert too much time alone and that they willeven their best only if they are in a social situation.

Now, when Johnny Carson has passed on, we learn more about this very private master actor. He rarely warmed with his guests in the Green Room. He looked almost all of his guests after the show. This was not because he does not like his guests. He wanted the show as fresh and spontaneous. The show came first, and he was an introvert.

Johnny a parachute jump in 1968. It was an Accelerated Freefall skydive with BobSinclair over Elsinore, California. Film has been shown many times on the Tonight Show when Johnny told his adventure. He contributed significantly to the growth of sport parachuting.

After he retired, he never again appeared before the public.

I confess, like many writers I'm an introvert. I speak professionally and I enjoy it. For me and got out and stood in front of an audience is good, personal self-development and a privilege. It makes me a rounded person. But it is not easy. Idoes not get stage fright, but like many actors, speakers and speakers, I become afraid to show ahead of time.

There are many forms of book promotion addition to radio, television and bookstore autographings. Send review copies to journals, e-mail press releases, articles in journals in your field, send book announcements to all your colleagues to participate in online social networks. I give you permission to stay home.

"I was so naive as a kid, I used to do secretly behind the barn andnothing. "

Should, on the other hand, writers get out once in a while.

"I receive more information and good ideas, field trips and visits from the public than I do at home."

Johnny has taught us that it's ok to stay home and write. We writers do not need to be ashamed ofnot social.
