So many thoughts. So many emotions. Most of them panicked. BECAUSE IT'S FINALLY TIME TO REREAD Y'ALL! AHHHH. [Timestamps & questions for you BELOW!]

(I was trying out a new mic since there was a lot of background noise. I totally forgot that I move a lot and I had a million jackets on - it was cold! - but it did its job well! Next time I'll be sure to move a little less. Also the end screen is funky - that's okay, I'll fix it for next time! :) )

D I S C U S S I O N  Q U E S T I O N S :
1) Do you have any stories about rereading your previous work or drafts? Good, bad, somewhere in the middle?
2) Do you set a writing schedule by months and so many months in advance?
3) Do you have a preference between self-, indie-, or traditionally-publishing (if publication is your goal)? Why?
