Sorry I’ve been so MIA! (There’s been some crazy awesome stuff going on.)

Sorry it’s been so long! There’s been a ton of awesome and amazing things going on in my life.

On the writing front, I’m now a regular writer for Medium — which has resulted in a *major* boost to my writing income. (*If you’re a writer who is not writing on Medium, I don’t know what you’re doing.*)

On the *other* professional front, we’ve finally released our drag event app — @dragr — and are over the moon with the reception it’s receiving in the community.

Hope you’re all doing well and getting down to all the writing. The world needs your story, so don’t give up

How far would you go to save your skin? Would you give up your most prized possessions? Do any of your characters do anything crazy to try and save their own skin?

Acting totally confident about your writing even though you’re pretty sure it’s the worst thing that’s ever been written ever:
