Do you find it hard to juggle the creative side of being a writer against the business side of being a writer, in terms of marketing and promotion and things of that nature?

I love people. My writing has empowered me in my purpose to use my gift to touch on sensitive issues such as hopeless, immoral lifestyles, depression, clean living, and education.
