My Platform... what's that?

So I'm trying to figure out what an author platform is?

Heck, I don't know. The only thing I can think of is maybe I should be wearing my 70's platform shoes. Wonder if that counts?

I'm watching youtube video's and reading articles. My question is if I spend time building my platform when do I have time to write?

So confused, oh and there's this word Discoverability? That's new for me.  Let's add that to my dictionary.

Help!!!!  I'm hibernating in youtube videos.

I think I'm slowly getting it. I sure hope so, because these characters in my head won't be quiet long enough for me to get it on paper. 

So we press on.

Hugs
