My big 2025 strategy was to do LOTS of author advocacy as a way of doing something important for others.
HOW IT STARTED: This is great! I'm fighting back! 🀩
HOW IT'S GOING: The assholes are winning and I'm more bummed out than I started. 😬

How to Focus on Work in a Chaotic World Regardless of your political leanings, it's a real challenge to focus on writing right now. Jess, Sarina, KJ and Jennie discuss.

While author interviews are fun, my favorite episodes of the #AmWriting podcast happen when KJ, Sarina, Jennie and I meet up. This week we discuss living in a chaotic world with a lot of noise and getting the words done when the words comes hard.
