Part four of my Writing Process Series is here! In case you missed it: for the past three weeks, to kick off 2024, I have shared about my writing and publishing process–the things I get asked about the very most. (You can check out Part 1 and Part 2 here and Part 3 here!)
I decided this year to create this 4-part series where anyone who is interested can learn more about my writing process and how I got published.
(Today on Part 4, I’ll be taking ANSWERING YOUR questions! )
