Great interview, Reina and Meg. It's so nice to get to know Meg better and be inspired by the work you're doing. I'll have to check out the podcast ASAP! And the advice to not compare oneself to another is spot on. It's too easy to get caught in that spiral, and it's avoidable. If we are content with the day's work, we've succeeded. Thanks for taking the time to share your story and thoughts with us. Wishing you the best of luck on your publishing and writing journey!

Thank you, Winston! I agree, "success" is relative and personal. We don't do ourselves any favors when we borrow the markers of someone on a completely different path than us. So happy The Lunar Awards continues to build community for fiction writers here. It only now occurs to me I've YET to have a guest on to discuss sci-fi or fantasy writing with me on the podcast. Something to remedy in Season 3!
