Where were you two years ago?
Where are you now?
Where do you intend to be in two years?
Do you have a plan? A plan should be constantly revised and revisited, but it is needed. You also need to have a measure of success and milestones. I am on track. Have others mapped out a plan, milestones etc
If you need to get your book out in hands. Amazon (Kindle publish), it is free.
My brother had 6000 books. He was a fanatic. All collectables. He sold them all, and reads on a kindle now.

This is a great place to get feedback! (And I fully agree with your analysis of films like "Call Me By Your Name", we definitely have to change the way queer folks are represented on screen, so this is an important step)
