Sorry to hear that you've been going through this. So very important to trust yourself and persevere in getting listened to!
I'm not on the list, but thanks for posting this. So helpful!
Such a huge step! Congrats!
The words and image are both so beautiful!
Amazing!
Oh, wow, I'm going to try to get my hands on those French-language graphic novels!
So helpful! A great summary for self-editing! I especially appreciate how you define "too long."

Story arcs, please!
I think you chose the right one! It's a great pic.

Good god. THIS is what we have evolved for?
Someone used the word "monstrous." That seems like a good word. How disgustingly morally wrong. I'm so sorry you're going through this.
God, "tough" sounds like an understatement. So glad to hear about the good-news side of it. Best wishes in your care-ful emerging.
Well deserved! It's a wonderful book.
Thanks, Pat!
Congratulations! And thanks for your inspiring post.
