Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog, Podcast

Great week for me! Talking about being up front with my new editor on how I *can’t* write an outline, a bit about knife-throwing and learning to relish failure as much as success, and the monsoon rains of autumn.

First Cup of Coffee – September 8, 2023

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog, Podcast

Some exciting (though vague for now) news for me! Also a roundup of the various platforms I use for my self-published books, since I’m wide. Also how “adult” seems to mean erotic now, and how annoying that is.
