Great post and reminder, Jamie. Thank you. I've been struggling a lot with my writing (my confidence) lately. Struggling with many of the things you mentioned in your other post today about fear and everything else that comes with being in that vulnerable, naked place with your writing. Not being good enough. Not doing it right. Not knowing enough. All those knotty 'nots' in the head of a writer. It's a tough gig. But when we're born to it, not much to do but keep making our way through it. ๐Ÿ™‚

Indeed, we're here for the three acts, the prologue and the next book in the series ๐Ÿ˜‰

Yes, ma'am! And you know what? As soon as I accepted that and learned to appreciate each step for what it was, the more fun I had at ever stage of the process. ๐Ÿ™‚

Lol! I love your attitude! It's hard not to let other people's expectations become your own but it sounds like you're setting healthy boundaries.

Now and then people will ask me for the secret formula to get a book ready in no time, but without a first draft you won't have a second draft and so on... No magic, just a process and work.

I've done the latter and am still in the process of learning writing and now publishing skills. I cringe when people say - "Are you still writing that book? How long has it been?" My answer - "Give or take 10 years, but I'm almost finished."

This was exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thanks so much! And congrats on your upcoming release.
