Claude interviewed me this week about The Indie Author Survival Guide, long-term career thinking, systems, sustainability, discoverability, and why modern indie publishing increasingly rewards adaptability over certainty.
We talked about the shifting ground under indie authors, experimental mindsets, direct reader relationships, and the reality that most careers don’t collapse because writers lack talent — they collapse because the workload becomes unsustainable.
We also talked about sleep. Which may be the most controversial topic of all.
