Welcome back! This week, Leslie Hachtel wants to know, If you’re published, how is the business different than what you expected? If you’re planning to publish, what are your expectations? .

  Welcome back! This week Lyra Parish asked, how many words have you published or written? . This requires math, which is not my best subject, but lets figure it out. .
