My "debut" book - whether we're talking about as a writer or an illustrator - came out decades ago, and my creative career has fizzled a lot since then. Some of that was almost certain due to not knowing this advice should have been there for me to heed. I've managed to survive despite that.

(Certainly, I was and still am stuck in a family largely, passively disinterested in the things I care about. Can't be helped.)

Anyway, there we are for now.
