I'm getting published, but my kid-having friends don't seem excited...

I don't know if this belongs here, but, here goes. The cover art for my novel was released today and I've been posting it. I've noticed though that, people aren't as excited about this achievement as they are about pregnancy announcements. Even colleagues who I've previously congratulated on their kids (despite, you know, it being a pandemic) have gone silent and aren't showing a lot of love. My childfree friends on the other hand (few as they are) are raving and re-posting my news.

I am excited. I have carried this news since last October and can finally shout it to the world. This is my achievement and I am so. very. happy that I have the freedom to write. I have worked for this since I was 14, yet I feel like a lot of my acquaintances would be happier if I had been the victim of a broken condom instead.

Anyway, it's a book about a childfree woman, the dangers of pregnancy in a survival setting and murder, and I am so proud to have written it.
