Oz Rodriguez talks about the vulnerability and liberation of publishing work. He's writing a second middle-grade book and hopes it finds its audience the way his first one did.
Is it vulnerable for you as an artist when you put something out? Like when you put the girl in the.
Robot out? Yeah, yeah. There's no other way to say it, but yes, it's just like, it's out there, and you hope people are into it. But I think there's also an aspect of, like, it's also liberating once it's done and it's out there. And now I'm moving on to the next thing. I'm writing a second middle grade book, so obviously excited about this and want people to read it, and hopefully it's a success. But I'm also like, that's out there. I'm now moving on to my next problem.
