Body: The autumn approaches. Consume carbs. Make soup. Me: It was 94 degrees today. Body: Nestle in the bed beneath a mountain of blankets. Me: I was sweating so much I had to change my bra. Body: You crave cozy. Become one with the cozy. Me: I'm going to go sleep face-up in the pool.

I was having the same issue, and until recently, I wrote my posts in a Google Doc then copied and pasted them into Wordpress. Then I discovered the Classic Editor plugin, and once I activated it, I felt so much stress just melt away. It might be worth checking out: wordpress.org/plugins/clas...

Classic Editor

Enables the previous "classic" editor and the old-style Edit Post screen with TinyMCE, Meta Boxes, etc. Supports all plugins that extend this screen.

There may be a problem. I think Elsie can vote for the Hugos. It's like this, she's going to be on programing, so I registered her for Worldcon. As an attending child. She's 8. (They didn't require that, fyi.) Then I looked at the WSFS constitution. It doesn't say anything about being human.

I dunno if prologues and epilogues are part of the main story but I do know your publisher should pay you a separate fee and/or offer a contractually guaranteed budget if they expect you to market your own book because that’s not your job nor what your advance or royalties are for.
