As someone whose self-published first book has quietly crept toward selling 1000 copies over FIVE years, I really appreciate this insight. When we see someone with your platform, we just assume that it's going to be easy for them. Your honest sharing helps me to realize the path is slow and steady for most authors! And I am going to buy a copy of your book very soon… I've just promised myself that I will finish a few other books first!!

I love how transparent you are! I think your sales (and whole creative journey) are so impressive!! And inspiring! I’m trying not to compare your numbers with my future numbers. My art book comes out in 2 weeks and I’m keeping my expectations low. It’s a legit coping strategy, right?! 🤣 My goal is to at least sell as much as my initial advance was!
