So, I've written a middle grade fantasy novel that I plan to self publish very soon (traditional publishing seems like an exercise in self-hate). It's been quite a journey. It's the 1st novel I've written & it was sort of me just up and writing it one day during the pandemic. The part that's the hardest is the editing. Ugh. Nearing the finish line though. I dread the marketing phase. #writing #editing #marketing #perseverance
