As a reader, not a writer, I found the description of the process very interesting and comprehensible! Thank you. I’ve always wondered about the process.

Thanks, I always hope this sort of post will be interesting, I certainly know that as a reader, I was curious about the process, and in fact did my freshman high school "career" paper on being a writer, interviewing 3 writers. I found this paper years ago, and had to laugh that the one piece of advice the all had was to have a "day job" and not expect to make a living at writing (the writers were all published writers, one pretty famous as an historical fiction writer).

Fantastic article! I wanted to be intentional for my next book to have beta readers so your article really opened my eyes and got me excited about the prospect. Thank you. 😀
