My writing habits
by Emily
When I was growing up, I didn’t know any authors. I had to completely imagine what their daily routine would be, what their writing habits were – and when I used to read about classical authors, their routines seemed to involve a lot more money (and alcohol!) than I wanted…

You Can Write More if you want to be an author!
by Emily
Being a full time author comes with a huge number of perks, which of course I would never want to take for granted…but there are things that I miss from my previous day jobs. One of those is teaching. Mentoring, equipping, speaking, leading workshops – you name it, I did it!
