No doubt a roller coaster! And yes, the most fulfilling payment will be in those small interactions where you help people feel seen. Speaking of, I gave your book LOVE IS HERE WITH YOU to my nephew & niece (who is half Indian) who had a baby in December, and she loves it so much.
You're on fire Jyoti! And love the overview on what it's like to be an author. True, the reason we write is not for $$$, but the impact our words have to move people and make our kids feel seen, when we ourselves, didn't have the opportunity to feel seen growing up. No amount of money can ever fill you up like these connections. Keep making beautiful books!

Oh how lovely - my heart is so happy to hear she loves it! Thank you for sharing it with her

Right back at you Nadia! And indeed the positive impact of our books makes it all worthwhile!
Congratulations on the two upcoming books, Jyoti! I'm looking forward to them!
Thank you so much!
