Very informative. I had a friend who after publishing her first book, read a bad review and said she would never write another book! You get a tougher skin as you write more books. Merry Christmas, Merry Writers!!
Only your fifth anniversary – it seems longer! Time sure does fly sometimes Ari!
I know, right? Feels like we’ve been doing it forever! lol
Ari, to me a lot of things feel like that these days. 🙂
You and Rachel make some good points here, Ari.
Thanks, Andrew 🙂
You’re welcome.
