OMG SO much to think about when publishing a book. AND having to do it in this political climate?! I am not looking forward to it, but YAYYAYAY for you! This is so exciting! (btw, Rowena's Song is next on my kindle to read! I had to finish The Women for book club first.)
Hey I definitely wouldn't blame you for celebrating an accomplishment, even during this climate! In fact, some of us deliberately revel in our successes in defiance of what's happening. I hear that joy is an act of defiance itself. Some people criticize "escapism," but escapism is a good survival strategy. For instance, a black nonbinary friend living in a red state, said they just don't check the news at all and live their life in relative peace. My Asian nonbinary friend in Indiana, as you know, indulges a lot in Pokemon fanfic ships. Maybe it's escapism, but perhaps escapism is a good thing for our mental health.
