I really appreciate this framework - it’s helping me get my bearings as I start blogging and gives some good handles for thinking about development. I think you mentioned in one of your articles that people have a tendency to think they’re grasslands. What do you think is behind that (assuming I remember correctly)?

That is an issue mainly for forests, who think they are other ecosystems. We talk about it in the forest section better than I can sum it up at 6am. We also have a whole book about it. https://dl.bookfunnel.com/dddd61c9j4

This is a fascinating exploration into the dynamic ecosystems within the publishing world! It's clear you've put a great deal of thought and research into identifying the distinct stages of an author's career and their potential growth paths. The concept of tailored evolution paths for each ecosystem provides a robust framework for authors to understand and navigate their professional landscape effectively. Out of curiosity, which ecosystem do you find most authors tend to start in, and what are some of the common challenges they face in the initial stages of their career?

So much more to being an author than someone just putting pen to paper and writing a story 🤔🤔🤔
