the craft. balancing writing and surviving.

Being a full-time writer is something many beginning writers fantasize about. This dream life involves slow mornings, great travel, and stimulating conversation. Is it possible? Absolutely. We have seen top selling writers' lives completely change. Is it feasible for every writer? Not necessarily. Even less likely when starting out. I know, sometimes I’m coming in way too grounded. Lol. But stay with me.

the craft. the book tour.

One of the last events I attended at the beginning of 2020 was a book talk with Brandon Taylor for his debut Real Life in University City in Philadelphia. It was a decent but modest crowd. We listened to the inspiration behind the book and learned a bit about Brandon’s professional and personal life in relation to the book.
