It’s only 17 days into the new year, and I’m already feeling the pressure. This year, I’ve got two competing priorities: writing more words and leveling up. I’ve committed to writing three new projects this year (and would love to add a fourth,...

I *just* hit send on the email to my lovely agent. Frenemy (working title Frenemies and Lovers) is in her inbox. She’ll probably have some feedback for me, and then she’ll either start submitting to publishers, or we’ll decide it’s a better...
