If I give up on you, I probably need to give up on me and the novel I've been writing for almost a decade, revising for 3 of those years 🤷🏻♀️
I'm not willing to do that yet

Drop the clichés. Dump all the garbage onto the page.
Writing happens in the revisions 💜 no one wants to show you their first draft 🔥

I said in an interview that I have a lot of empathy for you because you lost your dream, too.

I just finished listening to your episode! I hope you're book finds an amazing home. I need to read it when it does 👏🏻
I'm looking forward to taking Cece's class with you 💜
