You are hitting your stride on these articles. I laughed out loud and could clearly hear your beloved snarky voice. I look forward to the next article.
I have my novel (fourth iteration--learning how to write while writing a novel is silly) with my first reader, who's not able to read right now, but that's fine. I'm not in a hurry. I am enjoying the process of creation and learning. Right now, I'm trying to remember how to draft rather than edit. It's been awhile.
I've watched the publishing industry get worse and worse, and approach self-published books with caution because although it's hard, it is easier than waiting around for the industry's wheels to grind even if your work is bought. Easier means the percentage of iffy work is a bit higher. But it's also opened opportunities for writers who had less of a chance otherwise, so overall, self-pub is good for writers and readers.
I wish I could say something as pretty as my varnished nails, but because we’re in somewhat parallel places (loveable ‘mos starting year three with a manuscript we want to get out there), all I can say that doesn’t feel or sound overly Julie Andrews is I’m glad you’re sharing this journey. And if you need a beta reader, let me know.

Thanks. It's just all stream of consciousness, pretty much. If it comes up, it comes out.
