And seriously, NNWM participation is good investment. Later in life, you'll just have to edit all your material and then you're good to publish. I mean, I can't stress enough how rewarding it feels to have stuff just there, written. One day you will look back smile at all your words (which I think you already did haha). That’s great pep talk.

Who knows; you may become the world's pioneering CLF fusion writer. Helen Fielding was able to transform Jane Austen's stories for the modern world; you could do the same with your fantasy novel. I think you're awesome when allowed to work in the field that you know best, and you were just unprepared this year for the change in genre. Whatever the reason for your difficulties this year, it's good that you're carrying the right attitude towards it and that you persevere in spite of it all. Good luck with that.
