Sounds like a hard slog, thanks for sharing the reality, not the fairy tale.

Too many fairy tales out there.

Big fan of keeping it real, here!

Thank you, Trudi 🫶🏻

We need more of the other side too. Too many overnight success stories out there.

The day I got my first book deal with a major publisher I couldn’t believe it. Same as you - a long list of what hadn’t worked. Then it just happened.

This is by all means not a boast. But a confirm that it all does lead somewhere. Often when you least expect it

It’s not boasting if it’s true, Maria! ;)

This is so true, every step matters, even those that make us go backward.

It’s experience, resilience, learning…

And one day, after years of hard work, you become an “overnight success story.”
