Fast approaching the 4th birthday of my memoir & it's always wild to remember that on the very day we got an offer from Norton, I got a form rejection from an agent I had queried 7 months prior. It's all subjective, friends. Keep telling your story to those who are ready to listen.

Today I chose Ronald Dahl.
Block might be an opportunity to study by osmosis.
If you’re skeptical, ask yourself “am I better than Joan Didion?”
