It's interesting how a reader recently commented that they click on my profile pic rather than the article title - when I took that pic with the mask I literally didn't know I would be opening up doors of opportunities - my intention was to keep my writing and personal life separate - I am amazed that some writers recommend taking a full face photo to attract readers and their trust - in my case, I think I have demonstrated such things are not necessary - people will read regardless because it is all about the words
