I'm writing the second book in a series now and this made me feel less alone! Thank you and best of luck with your series. I, too, write on Substack about writing...more about being creative for the pure joy of it. My post this Wednesday will be all about writing without the fireworks. I'm just finishing the post now, so the timing of your piece was perfect.
You are most welcome. Keep writing, and you are definitely not alone, no matter how it must feel sometimes. The very fact that you are writing your second means you are amongst a tiny percentage of first-time authors, the ones who didn’t give up after the first book.
I am subscribed, and will read your thoughts when they arrive.
Congrats man - it is a journey just to write and edited flashes and shorts, so a book is the equivalent of climbing a mountain compared to standing on a hill. Also great to give some advice, you and A.M. Blackmere really help people out a lot by letting everyone know what is on the other side of the curtain.
I am a great believer in the best thing about Substack being it helps writers to share their writing experiences, rather than as a way to actually promote writing. I learn so much from others, so it only seems right to try and give a bit back when I can.
