Real talk:

Debuting during a pandemic kinda sucks majorly*. You spend yrs & yrs writing something, dreaming about the day & then...everything falls apart

It& #39;s frustrating & sad & theres nothing you can do about it. You cant control it, you cant do ANYTHING ..

1/

except the tiny bit you can do & that really isnt much. Your publisher is trying their best, your agent is trying her best, YOU are trying your best but it& #39;s not enough. The world is shut down, so it CANT be enough

And it sucks

SO, this is all to say -support debuts, PLEASE

2/

If you can afford it, buy one a week.
If you cant, request it from your library (which god willing will have the funds to buy new books when they reopen)
If you cant do either, support on here (people really have been doing this & it& #39;s beautiful)

*Yes, thx, I know there are problems much greater than this right now, but this is not about THAT, this is about this. Everything isnt everything.
