I spend so much time on those aspects everyday but it’s mostly invisible to anyone who doesn’t live with me or get my emails about stuff as I work on it. I guess I’d like to talk more about it here. If I get all comfy in this space.

Although, I guess that’s possibly true of many projects – whether it’s building a house or even having a baby.

One of the things I want to do with The Seed is examine the business of writing and publishing, and explore all the hidden sides of the industry.

Thank you for the lovely things you said and for appreciating what I do behind the scenes. I guess until you work with someone, you don’t really know what goes on/what they’re like.

And hey, you know you are the other half of this team! You’re awesome with the face to face getting the books out there. Very impressive!

(loved that interview, Thoraiya – you have some very smart things to say about your take on social media as well as very true things about how much work Alisa puts in!)

I think you talking about this stuff is important, because it’s too easy for work like that to be rendered invisible – and it’s important too for writers to realise how much work there is after publication, for all of us.

Thank goodness you do what you do, because I don’t do it!

I guess if you decided to stop, I would have to do more, myself. No pressure ;)
