So you've been in the business for a while. It's not an easy one. I use Amazon for self-publishing but use Hive as a sort of incubator for ideas and for promotion from time-to-time. One of my books (Mindful Moments) began as Hive posts. Each post became a chapter. I used audience suggestions to choose the cover as well. It made for a fun process. I don't hang out much on Discord but would be happy to continue the chat here in comments.
