Another one of yours I missed! Bloody hell, I loved this so much. Watching you share your querying journey with us makes me really mad - at the publishing world that causes such amazing writers such as yourself doubt your own abilities! this piece felt like you giving yourself some grace, which I very much hope lasts.
Very slowly I’m coming to doubt my ability less, and more so doubt the system. Not to say it’s bad to pursue publishing, but if we’re not careful, it can become so disheartening that we give up. That’s why I’m still so active on Substack. I don’t want to get to the point that stop sharing my stories.
Oh absolutely. If someone offered to publish one of my serials, there’s no way I am saying no! But I see the angst you guys go through and it doesnt seem right or fair!
Do you ever feel like the word 'professionalism' was just invented to gaslight us (creatives) into thinking we're out of order? 😂 I can see a new genre where creatives start raging professionally!

I’m trying to stay civil and respectful about the whole thing online. Because… professionalism. But the rage is leaking out in everything I write 😂
