Episode 52 is here to share our big day job news

In Episode 52, we cover some great real-life stuff in a candid (read: very lightly edited) conversation.

We talk about the big day job news we were super shady about a month ago, and then we talk about how that’s changed our approach to our writing. We specifically like how making a big choice in your personal life can take away the pressure of making choices in your creative life – it’s weirdly freeing. And we talk about feeling like a writer when you’re too busy/sick to write much, and how the daydreaming and thinking about your novel is part of the novel, too.

You can find the episode and show notes here.
