This was great. Thank you. I completely agree. For what it's worth, I indie-published my first book on my 65th birthday. It has over 200 reviews on Amazon with a rating over 4 stars. I now have five manuscripts in process.

It's lovely that you asked. If you haven't read Pride and Prejudice, it might not do much for you. It is a P&P variation. Here's the URL: https://a.co/d/fVFDzpo

This was wonderfully delightful to read!!! You had me laughing at the reality that I too had so many of these thoughts. It's wild what we can accomplish when we get out of our own ways!

Hopefully you didn't take quite as long to learn the same lesson, Taylor, haha. I have a feeling you're a natural goal-crusher 💪

Ohhhh no; it most definitely took me until 28 to stop the crazy train and turn that thing around... and it's still not fully turned around yet lol But it's getting there and I am slowly crushing my goals! Thank you!!

I was NOT expecting a turducken reference and I am THRILLED! Also, most excellent advice. My ethos for life is, ‘Fuck it! She’ll be right!’ And honestly, it will be. Do the thing! (Unless the thing is playing in traffic. Or dealing meth. But if you have to choose, meth might have slightly better odds, or at least better money.)

You're right, there's very little money to be had playing in traffic, haha.

She was very proud of that last-minute addition. Was it the star of the play?
