Negotiating pay isn’t awkward—it’s professional self-advocacy and in Laura Goode’s newest book, PITCH CRAFT, she reminds writers that asking for what you’re worth is part of the craft, too.

Author Katie Hallahan holding a copy of The Twice-Sold Soul, with text reading "Four truths and a lie... The Twice-Sold Soul edition!"
The Twice-Sold Soul book and a Monsterhearts 2 book along with gaming paraphernalia. Text reading "1. The Twice-Sold Soul is inspired by a Monsterhearts campaign I played in. In the game, McKenna started off as a Ghoul with a taste for flesh before becoming a Witch (that's why she's a vegetarian)."
The Twice-Sold Soul and an adorable black cat. Text reads, "2. Remi's cat, Mr. M, was originally said to have peacefully passed while McKenna was away, and Remi had a new cat named Eve. This was adamantly protested by a beta reader and now Mr. M will live forever, having made some manner of Bargain with Remi."
The Twice-Sold Soul and three Tarot cards from the Modern Witch deck: The Knight of Swords, the Ten of Swords reversed, and The Chariot. Text reads, "3. McKenna's mom does a Tarot reading for her using the Rider-Waite deck. I own 14 Tarot decks, but none of them are the Rider-Waite deck."
Four truths and a lie -- The Twice-Sold Soul edition! Can you spot the lie? I'll post it tomorrow 😁 1/2
With thanks to @mcarubia.bsky.social for the gaming and cat pics!

She poses in an interior that includes framed art and a table lamp. She wears a smocked red top and large, plastic-framed cat-eye glasses. She smiles at the camera as if it amuses her.

it's the same principle but reversed, so there's a small depression right under the bone, and the rest of the insert is lightly cushioned and actually firmer and more structured than most. they helped so much I completely forgot I still have them in my running shoes haha
29.07.2025 06:25 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0yeah that happened to me, too. I had to go to PT to relearn how to walk properly on my left foot. and I once had a PT go on a rant about how much he hated podiatrists bc they never tell patients about that stuff, which was definitely my experience!
Just remembered: I also got custom shoe inserts
when I broke a sesamoid the podiatrist gave me these white kidney shaped pads. I would cut them in half and put them under the outside half of my foot (so in line w/ sesamoid but not under it) which helped keep pressure off it. probably not a longterm solution but good for reducing swelling and pain
