I agree wholeheartedly with all of this. It is a real problem in publishing…been there! I, personally, find it very inspiring that you never shy away from from difficult topics and are so open about writing journey. ❤️
This isn't like a sport or match where there is only one winner. Many wins can be felt across any group of authors. Some wins are big, some wins are small, but all are worthy of praise because, in the end, the only direct competitor to an author is themselves. When I hear someone post that they scored an agent, I'm like "that's great!", same with a publication deal, or even just saying how happy they are when the added 10k words to their current project. When we all support each other, everyone wins. If we tear each other down, no one wins.
Oh, and for your list, a recent "win" was that the second book in my "Imperial Chronicles" sci-fi series was accepted by the same small press publisher who published the first one last October.
Hi Nicholas. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I wholeheartedly agree! Congrats on your exciting news about your second book in your series. That's awesome!

Thank you, Teri. That means a lot. I hope our paths cross in person this year.
