This rings so true with me—I’ve been thinking a lot recently that the fairy tale of the Debut Novel With A 6 Figure Advance is useless if not outright harmful. I bought into it in the past & have been trying to turn away from it & find a different path—tho perhaps, as you point out, I’ve been on another path without realizing it.

Really enjoying this series!
