Thanks for all the info and important questions we should ask ourselves. You perspective is meaningful. As an aside, I first read the title as "Author Advice Overlord" and was very impressed with your willingness to claim your authority. ;)

Ahahahhah OH NOOOOO! *runs from authority*

Thank you for the compliments, though. I think a lot of newer authors tend to get down in the weeds of what COULD be done and don't spend enough time thinking about what they are actually willing/able to do. <3
