Yes, you may come again another time. It is hard to talk of such things. I feel guilty, and disloyal, but in my heart, I know something is not right. It helps a little to be able to speak of it with you.

Deeply boring to say but: consist income so I don't have these panics when retailer sales tank for a month (or many months). After that, enough of a consistent income that I can breathe and not feel forced to publish everything I write but have time and space to write some "me" books.
