    My manuscript is almost ready, I’m terrified of not finding an agent or publisher 😭😭😭😭

    I think we’re missing hell of a lot of history and learnings due to this.

        Yes, of course. Those who actually can.

        I am pondering writing a book for a long time, a story that would literally be unbelievable in coincidences (positive as negative) if it were fiction. However I am aware I will possibly never be able to do that since my neurodivergent brain would need massive time and assistance of many others for this.

        Following that thought though, and aside from my unimportant life, I got to think about lots of important people that possibly existed and no one ever wrote it down. That’s kind of a sad thought.

    Wonder how much of that drop-off is due to gate-keeping at every stage of publication?
