I laughed when this post dinged at 2 AM EST, apparently you and my dog were both up and busy! Everything about this post was helpful to me. I’d seen Jane’s post and that was helpful too. As a first timer, after years of writing and studying craft—but only dipping my toe in the querying waters, I’ve been stuck. I know I can promote my MG book, I’ve traveled and taught teachers, kids and their parents about writing. But I felt guilty considering the indie path. Now it doesn’t seem like a cop out—most of my writing partners are doing so successfully. You reinforced that for me—and with such clarity. Thank you!
Oh, my, I hope I didn't wake you! Actually I can schedule ahead of time so I don't need to be awake at 2 AM (unlike the pups). I'm so happy this works for you. More and more I think we all need to reimagine publishing and not be stuck in the same old path. Thanks for the comment and keep going!
