My second novel was going to be published! When New York City–based Adelaide Books offered me a contract to publish Painting Through the Dark , it set my heart racing in a good way. I asked around—friends who were published authors, others with knowledge of independent publishing. It was the end of August 2020.

Back in 1995 I published my first website. While these tools can do many things now, including coding and design, their first use case was writing. That makes total sense, because these are essentially writing machines. You write a prompt, and the AI comes back with written text. Same with AI-generated writing.

Yes, writing short can be far more difficult than letting the pen rip. And writing a short description of your novel — like the three tight paragraphs you need in a query letter — is one of the hardest tasks of all. The truth is, it’s much easier to write a very short book description badly than to write it well.

I’ve thought a lot about writing this year. And about the value of writing. Writing has felt as an act of defiance. And, sometime in June, my inner critic tried to tell me writing was a waste of my energy. Quit writing! Because writing makes me feel alive, and it allows me to be my best self.
