I had the honor of being a guest on the Unfortunately...Podcast! If you're a writer who has ever gotten an "Unfortunately..." message, this podcast is for you! It's a writer to writer discussion about craft and how we learn from failures. Here's my episode, but you should listen to them all!

It has unironically been such a joy to commiserate with so many amazing and gracious writers. Failure loves company, so give us a listen!

I've enjoyed listening to this podcast just as much as being a guest on it!

Oh, also, we chugged past a milestone over the weekend... Thank you so much for listening!
