Imposter syndrome? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Eric Blair, aka George Orwell, let himself become so consumed by self doubt when writing his first book, he gave it to a friend to trash it. Thankfully for us, Mabel Fierz did just the opposite - she found him an agent! #BookSky #SupportAuthors

I took @abigbat.bsky.social ‘s illustration workshop over the past couple months to try to level up my painting game. It was a great experience, well worth checking out. Here’s my final, a cattle wrangler on her diamondback mount

Like many authors in the 50s, Frank Herbert began in sci-fi magazines. Even Dune was first published in 8 parts! Despite this, nearly 20 book publishers rejected the epic. Finally, editor Sterling Lanier of Chilton Book Company (known for auto manuals) snapped it up. That was 60 years ago! #BookSky
