Talking today about literary agents, how that power dynamic works, and why authors should absolutely ask all the questions they like. Also about the writing community, generosity-and a smattering about the Irish diaspora.

My agent, Sarah Younger of Nancy Yost Literary Agency, is here (http://www.nyliterary.com/team.php?c=sarah&b=s).

Adventures this weekend in navigating the lockdown and my own book brain. Sympathies to my lovely Grace Draven on the loss of Big Fuzzy, and various other semi-coherent ramblings.

Another devastating blow dealt in the pack rat war, which means there is cursing in today's show. Plus I'm cranky about forms and busy work. I do talk about conflict, though, and when it grows too thin to sustain.

For all of you working from home for the first time, I'm offering thoughts on drawing boundaries to restore work/life balance. Also a bit more on the #revengeofthepackrat and refilling the well.

This is the essay I mention: here (http://www.fantasybookcafe.com/2020/04/women-in-sff-month-jeffe-kennedy/) at the Fantasy Cafe for the Women in SF&F Month.

Here's the post I mention about changing outfits to create home/work boundaries https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2010/11/05/exercise-to-writing-to-work/ and another blog post I wrote on working from home https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2011/01/13/home-is-where-the-office-is/

A short episode today because I have serious Book Brain. I'm close enough to the end of THE PROMISED QUEEN to taste it and I'm talking about difficult plane landings.

I'm talking today about creativity, definitions of success, making sacrifices to do hard things, the movie Whiplash, and what it means to be a failed writer. Also, a visit from a neighbor!
