What a freeing reminder: "And I will do it without stressing over how many people buy and read my books."

I liked the authors perspective. I will start The Die next

So ironic. I just finished my first manuscript. My characters have become good friends. Helpful when you live in a foreign country and barely speak the language. I was a big surprise to me I would become so attached.

Great post/interview! Reassuring to hear the part about The Die. My background is in Finance, and I feel like my writing stinks! But I sent the first couple of pages to some friends who I know will not hold back (ha!) and they all said they loved it. I have a very cool fantasy novel idea, but it's taking me forever to work on it because I constantly second-guess my writing.

Love the article! Writers gotta write!

Where can I submit my first few pages for Alyssa to look at and potentially have you review on YouTube?
