Indie writers are real writers. Self-pub writers are real writers. Trad pub writers are real writers.
None of us are better than each other. I only wish the readers who need your work find it.

The way indie music is seen as 'cool' and indie films are seen as 'embracing the craft without selling out' while indie books are seen as 'didn't get trad published' gives me feelings.
Really crunchy feelings.
The snobbery makes zero sense and instantly tells me someone isn't worth listening to.

What's especially crazy to me in this sentiment (which I also had pre bluesky) is how much every other artistic field lauds indies. Indie filmmaking? Good. Indie music? Good. Indie books? Suddenly people draw a line, even though all the reasons Indie is good everywhere else *still apply*.

Writers! Are there any 5, 6, 7 AM writer's groups here, who all get on and write early in the morning? I'm flexible on time but the body doubling really helps me. I'm in Central US time, which is GMT-6.
