First Cup of Coffee – April 21, 2025

Jeffe Kennedy / April 21, 2025 / Blog, Podcast

More of me NOT writing. Reflections on purging, reorganizing, and thinking about my office space in terms of what *I* need from it. Also, responding to a comment, writers letting go of screen adaptations doesn’t mean readers have to love the show!

Jeffe Kennedy / April 14, 2025 / Blog, Podcast

All about Apollycon and how I finished A ROSE IN THE MIRROR on the plane and working in the atrium on site. I had a great time at the event and got to fangirl and hang with some of my longtime author idols.

I was going to say something pithy about the time-consuming tricks we do for social media, but you’ll have to extract that lesson yourself from my tale. Owl Crate tip-ins are done! Also: why something being your livelihood isn’t reason enough.

How being a career creative is an ongoing process of discovering how we work and create, and why – if you’re an intuitive writer like I am – you might need to write from a character’s POV to understand them.
