It’s time to catch everyone up on what we’ve been doing for the past month. Kait and CJ provide updates on their creative projects. CJ shares that she has completed her novel’s first round of revisions and plans to send it to Kait for feedback. Kait talks about attending a class on selling art without selling out and feeling reinvigorated to pursue self-publishing. They also discuss the importance of self-care for creatives and the upcoming content they will create together. They talk about the fear of shelving their work and the desire to see their books in readers' hands. They also discuss the changing landscape of publishing and the rise of self-published authors. Kait expresses her frustration with the current market trends and the pressure to conform to popular writing styles. They both encourage each other to choose themselves and pursue their dreams of publishing. Kait decides to return to working on her book Praeses and plans to dedicate more time to her creative endeavors.
We hope you can relate to our psychotic babble or gain some wisdom for your creative journey.
