The odds of getting traditionally published (1-2%), is around the same as the percentage of actors (2%) who are able to make a living with acting. Let that sink in. #writingcommunity, you are defying the odds.

There is a question I’ve been pondering for several days: ✨“What would you create if acceptance was irrelevant?” ✨ It has been liberating in powerful ways. #writingcommunity & #kidlit friends, what about you? What would you create?
