Looking forward to sharing this episode with all of you! 👇👇 #writingcommunity #AuthorSky #BookSky
This past Friday, I had the pleasure of being on You, Me, & the Writing Journey—a podcast by kid-lit author @drenderturmaud.bsky.social.

We talked about avoiding burnout as writers—having support helps, but so does rest. Sometimes, not writing is part of the writing process.

What does a pass mean? 👇
➡️ An agent/editor read your work!
➡️ You’re in the game.

What does a champagne pass mean? 👇
➡️An agent/editor see the merit in work! It just wasn’t the right fit for them, their MSWL, their pub house, etc.
➡️YOU’RE IN THE GAME!! 🙌

Do you deal with regret?

“I wish I hadn’t started querying so soon!”

“I wish I had fixed that typo!”

“Why was THAT how I wrote it??”

If so, you’re not alone. But, you’re also in a different place looking back now. Show yourself compassion. 💜 #writingcommunity #YMWJPodcast
Show yourself compassion. Show yourself curiosity. When you experience regret, meet yourself from where you were, not from where you are now.

With 💜, Your Therapist & Author Friend
