//Talking to you all – but especially writers! – about the perils of seeking external validation, how the publishing industry is particularly challenging this way, and why “moving the needle” is a useless metaphor.
//Sending out love to all you listeners I’m getting to meet in person! So great! Also, on boundaries, how you don’t have to be mean to protect your writing time, but that you do have to hold your feet to the fire.
//Sharing a first look at the UTTERLY GORGEOUS finished copies of NEVER THE ROSES!!
Preorder links for NEVER THE ROSES are here!
//I’m suggesting creators reframe our expectations for success and the sense of urgency to *make* things happen – instead we can bide our time while we continue to create and let the world come to us.
//My very exciting news on Never the Roses: a starred Library Journal review! Also, about the latest news around “AI” and some writers using it to generate books. My thoughts on art, creativity – and what we can do to “prove” we’re not among them.
//My non-paradisical experience at the Container Store (not their fault), my ongoing tribulations with purging and reorganizing, and also burbling about how awesome the Bramble team is and the ups and downs of this business..
//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.
