Definitely covered in dog fur and glitter. Happily drinking coffee and writing books. Also, lost my keys and am running late. Insta: @jcgower

Have decided that revising the book might be harder than writing the book.

I was a responsible Floridian adult and went to my derm. One mole biopsy later with a handful of sunscreen for oily skin…I am breaking out like a teen. Ugh. Any tried and true daily sunscreen recs for sensitive skin?

Listening to HAPPY PLACE. I’ve already cried three times. My heart is in tatters and held together by fraying threads.
…and there’s still an hour and thirty-eight minutes to go. I don’t think I can take it. I am in an emotional maelstrom.
But also…stopping is not an option.

I think the most important thing to have as a writer is your community. Trad publishing is a path of rejection but, if you want it, you have to expect the many “no thanks.”
Your community reminds you:

It is always disheartening. It always makes you doubt.
But if you want to do THE THING, you can’t let the rejections make you quit. Let those rejections make you BETTER.
If you quit…did you really want THE THING in the first place?

My first FR gave me the highest of highs. My first rejection gave me the lowest of lows. But each book teaches you more and gives you more time to learn and practice your craft. And I truly believe that when you and your book are ready, things will happen.

A student asked how I felt about students reading [fill in the blank author].
Read who you want. Read what you want. If it’s not what I like, then I won’t read it…but I’ll never, ever shame you for reading what you enjoy reading.
Just read.

Small town. Christmas season. Bearded coffee shop owner…who has just lost the space next door to some newcomer and pies. Driving her out of town is one option…but maybe kissing her under some mistletoe would be more fun.

Got first rejection for current MS. Querying is hard, but I’ve learned to reward ALL the milestones. They, even the ‘no thanks’ signify an achievement. Another book written. Another round of bravery.
So…am rewarding myself with a new pair of shoes!
