Ideal Life sounds fascinating! I love your analogy of publishing a book being like raising a child.

Ideal Life sounds fantastic! I can't wait!

Here's my question - do you still manage to work on another book in the main lead up to publication of the first book? I was doing so well at drafting my next book in between rounds of edits with my publisher. But now we're in the last month before Pub Day, and between updating websites, posting about preorders, organizing launch parties, and guesting on podcasts... I seem to have no time to write. (Also, day job, so there's that. )

I've given myself permission to take a few months off, til after Halloween, but I wonder if other authors manage to pull it off.

I’ve only read Ted Chiang’s β€œStory of Your Life” but it’s incredible and it still pops up in my brain often. 🫢🏻
