Writing can be such a simultaneously rewarding and draining experience that I’ve found the best way to approach it is with a mindset of both determination and forgiveness.
Chin up, do keep it up though I must confess to being rather disappointed and weary of struggling with the trad publishing industry. For now, I'm content publishing stuff myself, both via D2D or something and serial-fantasy novels hereon Substack, to build up my platform here.
Maybe you could try that approach with a spare story?
Thanks! And I like the approach you laid out. Right now I’m working on another fantasy book with an agent, so I’ll give trad publishing one last go (my previous book I worked on with this agent didn’t sell) but every day self publishing looks more appealing. Thanks for your advice again!
