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.

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..

My roundup of Apollycon and attendant fabulousness, along with thoughts on how industry events have shifted, particularly within the romance circles, and a bit on manifestation and gratitude.



At the SFF Seven this week we’re asking: What are your favorite and least favorite things about publishing? Come on over for my least favorite and very most favorite parts of being a career author.
