Isn't it surreal? I've created so many profiles over the years that I delete within the week. It always feels so impersonal and overwhelming and fruitless. Glad someone else articulated this.

Thank you for the kind words! I didn't think about it that way! <3 I do feel like being more consistent will do me some good. Will you keep me updated on your journey?

I've been querying on and off for years, but I'm trying to really double down these days to be more diligent/persistent. I'd send one or two, then slack off for months. Definitely not the way to get published.

Not silly at all. You ARE an author, by all definitions!

The full request is such a great sign!! I'd use that as a morale booster as you keep checking out your options. No one can take away that victory from you, even if the waters get choppy. Rooting for you!

I hope it's affirming, too. Your hard work is paying off! Thank you so much for the well wishes. It can be tough out there.
