Hi Jemma, I appreciate this is quite an old post now, but I found it when searching the internet for articles just like this, and it's so so true. I hate self promotion, particularly social media. My heart drops every time a post gets a low reach and few reactions, and even if the next post does far better, it's still had an impact on my creativity. I just can't paint and promote at the same time, I think I need an agent/pr person/social media manager! haha.
