You’ve worked so hard Liz. You should be nothing but proud. And congrats on securing book 2. Publishing is not for the faint of heart. 😅

This encompasses so much of what we put ourselves through as writers. I’m dreaming of a world where at least a few get breathing room to just create so the rest of us can be blessed.

Tabitha, me too. I'd be happy to inhabit that space! LOL

I loved reading this. And as I look forward to the publication of book 4 in 4 months (yikes), I’ll be carrying this grounding reminder with me.

Also: happy one year book-birthday, author!

Chapbooks with a sample chapter! What a fun, brilliant idea. And I still remember seeing so many podcasts with you pop up in my feed this time last year. It made me so happy -- and you worked so hard! Can't wait to see you do it again with book 2 :)

This was both heartening and disheartening to read, as a would-be author. I’m all about a dose of reality, and while I’m not planning on supplementing my income from a published book, the process sounds more exhausting than I have energy for. But, nevertheless, she persisted!! Onward!

It's not impossible, I promise. But it is a BIG commitment. Hugs!
