I signed up to be a premium member today after this video made me feel great about the first chapter (prologue) of my book

This is part of the reason I have multiple WIPs.

In high school(long ago) I had a teacher whom told us that a book ready for publication would be rejected.

Love this! Quick question, does anyone know how submissions for the live videos are gathered from paid subscribers? I don't want to miss the next one.

With all of the ways a person can publish these days, why must one give up on a novel they believe in because agents don't bite? I know lots of writers who have gone directly to small presses, self-published or went hybrid. I don't see why one should feel beholden to a process many agents will admit has to be somewhat arbitrary, given the inordinate amount of submissions received.

I loved today's post, especially the bit about protecting writing time. I have a full house, but no office. I do have a second bathroom that's unfinished, however, so I decided to convert it into an office instead. And I write with multiple pov, too, so the bit about choosing the right pov was helpful, too. I'm going to rethink a couple chapters.
