  • Living Like A Writer – Seven Years Later

    At the beginning of 2019, I wrote THIS POST about what it was like to live as a writer. Back then, I was coaching another writer through their creative process, drafting my sixth book, and scrounging for pennies through odd jobs. Oh, and loving on this blog way, way more than I have time to…
