You need to point every interaction at your message. Be aware of your brand and decide whether you want to be branded as an author or a series. Be aware of your electronic image as well as your face-to-face interactions.<br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://wetranscripts.dreamwidth.org/16004.html#cutid1">no branding irons?</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br />[Howard] Okay.

And then compare it on the forums with what other people may perceive about that author.<br />[Dan] Yeah, this is one we definitely want you to polish on the forums.<br />[Howard] Have a discussion about that, and let's see if you guys can figure out branding.<br />[Brandon] Me?
