This is exactly my strat: write a big long first novel now, collect the feedback, fix the mistakes, make something decent next time. Then continue iterating until I have something good. Plus, having built up a fanbase over time, it makes it that much easier to start out strong with new projects compared to releasing the first chapter of a masterpiece and getting lost in the algorithm.

That's a really good idea. I'm still kind of pressed for time but I can update typos later. So after the convention I'll do that (and my grandma will have done that by that point as well lol) and I can update the manuscript, and I'll give volume 2 more time in the cooker before official release.

Uh, that's a weird way to spell "to push an unpopular political agenda."
