Recorded on August 9th, 2022
In this episode, I talk about the surprising comment I got on my WIP from an agent, the rejection that made me cry, and how I got out of both of those hard places. Then I discuss writer friends! Why you need them, how to find them, and how to know if you’ve really got the perfect writing friendship match.
