I find the same with series
Posted on Sat, 28 Jul 2018

I'm really relieved to read

I'm really relieved to read you're over that. Thank goodness. I suppose when we don't get the results we hoped for it makes us dig deeper. Maybe go through what you've written and see how you might sink the hook in more firmly - get the reader...

Honest and candid, as it
Posted on Tue, 17 Jul 2018
Honest and candid, as it should be (said the reader salivating for dirt). I know that feeling about standing outside the door, then walking away (sorry Tobi and whoever's seminar I circled, then abandoned). Full of the realities, this. We must...

I think you should. More
Posted on Wed, 11 Jul 2018
