 Last night I had a writerly meltdown in which I despaired of ever getting my stuff in front of readers. Sometimes the "write for myself" attitude starts to feel mighty lonely...

 @7ccb675f If you’re needing a reader, I’d be happy to help. 
 @7ccb675f 

I think that's the most frustrating part. 
 @7ccb675f are you going for trad publishing? 
 @7ccb675f 

I've always maintained that the biggest obstacle, the largest risk for authors lies with the publishers who can't take the risk of publishing somebody new.

Publishing my own work doesn't mean it will find an audience. 

At least readers will have a chance to find it without a publisher balancing available production capacity against name recognition and leaving the manuscript (and writer) to wither.

Hang in and good luck going forward. 
 @7ccb675f I feel you. Keep going with courage.
