"From my first novel, with all the work I put into it, I made maybe 0.001c an hour. I may as well work for free. (I made a little more on the books that followed, but nothing that I would call a liveable wage."
oh my goodness, THIS! YES!! *laughs so as not to cry*.
This is precisely my thought process at the moment....I'd rather it be a gift to the people who want to read my work, after I've had the enjoyment of creating it.
I'm very jazzed about this...very much looking forward to it!!
A sad truth. We write because we love it. And I might have made more had one of my books become a bestseller or close to. But I am glad I have returned to what I used to love doing and finding new joy in it again.
I’m excited too. It’s feeling like Christmas over here. When can I open the presents? I spent yesterday guesstimating how long it might take to be “ready”... Too many sleeps but it might be the end of this year rather than early next. I’m trying not to push it because I want this to be sustainable!
Leanne I am SO excited for this!!! xx
It’s the seadragons, isn’t it. 🫣
Haha yes
Yayy! This sounds so delightful!
Thank you! Happy you are here for the ride!

Well, I'm in for the ride - you had me at dragons!
And what a great mix - can't wait to see how those pan out. Sounds a bit like my mix - art maps and fictional / real stories!
Looking forward to this, Leanne
Thank you!
Eeeeep!!!!!!! This sounds EPIC!!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks! I really am having fun writing this!
