Man, this substack is quickly becoming the highlight of my week. What an an exhausting and exciting week, hoping the offer rejection is a one-off and that the momentum builds steadily the rest of the year.

I'm sorry that it's been so hard. Appreciate your transparency as always. I've also hit a rough spot in my debut journey and it hasn't been easy trying to keep my chin up. It takes so much resilience to not only be published and keep being published.

Thanks LS. And sorry to hear about your rough spot--this is definitely an industry that's constantly throwing punches.

Well the post-it is solved! I met you at Atlanta Writers Conference! I feel slightly ashamed for not putting two and two together. But at least there are no lingering questions. I must have written your name down when I signed up for the conference in February. I’m the one who reluctantly pitched Astral Academy.
