Trying to spark my #WritingBrain by playing with cover graphics tonight and lookit this awesome cover for #Headwaters that #ChatGPT made for me! Now, I do plan to try and go the #TraditionalPublishing route, so this likely wouldn't be the cover, but it's fun to dream...

Querying Update. Starting to really get out there now 😬

A comparison graphic titled “A realistic publishing timeline” set on a dark green background. Three publishing paths are shown side by side with icons and arrows moving left to right. Traditional publishing is shown first with a book icon and text explaining it often takes 2–5 or more years. Hybrid publishing appears in the center with an open book icon and text noting it usually takes around 12–24 months. Self-publishing appears on the right with an upload icon and text explaining it often takes 6–18 months when quality and preparation matter. The design visually reinforces that different publishing paths have different timeframes and expectations.

💙📚 Seeing the full range matters.

A drafting phase compared to someone else’s launch creates pressure that isn’t earned.

These timelines don’t mean you’re late.

They give context so you can place yourself without spiraling.
