i& #39;m writing a second book.
(was planning on playing it cool & not announcing this right away but i am a middle-aged women with little self-control so here we are)
also it& #39;s important to know that this book took three years, several agents (including a humiliating night where one agent laughed at my idea + in the next breath asked me if i& #39;d had work done on my face), two different proposals + 14 revisions
honestly even some of my closest friends encouraged me to give up
but i eventually found an incredible agent who believed in me and we sold to an editor who really saw me & that& #39;s all you need: persistence & a couple of truly good/kind people in your court
and i am going on this long ahole rant bc we so often see people& #39;s "success" stories w/o knowing the misery behind them. all the rejection of me + this book made me question everything about my career + i felt like a lost loser for a long time
