One of my best friends sent me this screenshot the other day and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately. It’s not that I have writer’s block (I don’t really believe in “writer’s block”–a post on this coming soon); it’s that I have so — Read More

I was compelled to write this post after a co-worker approached me in the work kitchen and said, “I don’t know how you work full-time, have a baby, and write books.
