Anytime I talk industry struggles, someone barrels in shouting “self publish!” like the Kool-Aid Man.

Self publishing isn’t some quick answer. It’s a big business decision.

You are your own publisher. You have to be ready to do publicity, marketing, etc…

It’s a lot of work.

A piece of advice to writers is to read mentor texts outside your genre. We’re in the business of growing & writing really is a labor job. Exploring craft, researching, voice training, all can get enhanced from studying lyrical picture books to adult thrillers. Exposure=practice

@mstiefvater “It is slightly uncomfortable to know that if I die in the next few hours, I’ll go to hell, but I have to get outside before the tide comes in and all the riders disappear.”
