Recovering (slowly!) as an author with COVID
by Emily
Hey lovely readers! If reading about more COVID things aren’t good for your mental health right now, please feel free to skip this one!

Do your friends read your books?
by Emily
Everyone has a hobby. For some people, it’s a sport: swimming, rugby, tennis. For others, it’s something that is more personal: gaming, or learning a language. And then for others, it’s creative: knitting, crafting, music, or writing. I have wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember.
