Thank you for your honesty about the publishing process. Writing and publishing is never a straightforward process, though it often looks that way from the outside. Also, great new book idea! Enjoy your trip!

Yeah publishing such a strange opaque system. And thanks about the book idea! I'm excited to jump in!

This reminds me of when my family and I went to Yosemite in September of 2022, and wildfires were raging all around. It was over 100°, the sky was brown and smoky, the AQI was over 400, and ashes were actually falling like snow. We didn't know it was so bad until we got there, and ended up staying only 2 nights of our planned trip because we were camping and it was unbearable. It was wild and dystopian.

We had never been, so it is on my list to go back and have a more ideal experience. :)

The publishing world can be so brutal! I wish you luck with this one. ( I’m with you, currently working on my own proposal.) And enjoy Yosemite!
