This has happened to me SO MANY TIMES. Come on over for my most recent gaffe – and how I solved it!

Updates on THE PROMISED QUEEN, and upcoming projects. Also thoughts on how subtle language choices create gender bias, i.e., it seems like the male characters have all the action.

Thoughts today on being paid for creative work - whether this creates positive or negative pressure. Also the difference between retirement and pandemic lockdown, personal pressure, and writing sustainability.

I'm talking about why authors give up writing, doing something with my old guest posts, writing advice and how much I like Hidden and The Morning Show. Plus cat and robot wrangling today.

The blog post I reference is here (https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2020/07/15/using-the-8-scene-3-act-structure-to-tighten-plus-snippets-from-the-promised-queen/)
