When publishers were like, well, you shouldn't really launch in the fall because you're competing against all the other fall books. I'm like, what are you smoking? What are you talking about? My life is very boring. We have this weird cocoon of this alternate reality, but it totally just feels normal to us.
It allows you to have the discipline that creates the work product. Because if you are going to parties every night, you're going to be exhausted. I worked with really great individuals within traditional publishing, but I think the institutions have become a big problem. Well, hello everyone. It's Jim O'Shaughnessy with yet another Infinite Loops.
Tonight I am very excited because you note I said tonight. It's tonight here, but it's a very early in the morning where my guest Paul Miller is. You are in a completely different time zone. It's your morning.
