the harsh reality of wanting to be a young author: the book market and giving up on my book 📈👎

kelly's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOt_zkKtXVQ&t=8s writing sucks. (most of the time). today i will be *ranting* about the book market, the dark reality of wanting to be an author and how i feel like giving up on my book. i discuss how the dream about being a 19 year-old with a book deal and hundreds of articles written about you will discourage you in the worst way possible. the world and its harsh reality isn't kind to creators like us - yet we try anyway. why?
