It's time go get fearless. Thank you so much for writing and sharing your experiments. This was an inspiring, fun and thought provoking post. I have spent 6 years on a book, and I am not even close to finishing it. I have written it three times now. It's in Norwegian so no one here will ever read it, and there is a small audience for it when / if it ever comes out. But if I think about all the hours, editors, coaches, illustrations etc. I have made a lot of money for many, not a penny for myself. I have learned a lot though, so it's not wasted, but I am ripe to get my stories "out there"
That's why I started writing on Medium. To get better at English so I could write and publish all, on a platform with keen readers. This article was exactly what I needed today. I will check out your books (The best way I know to show my appreciation :)) Good luck with your once- a -month project!
