005 What It's Like to be a Writer Selling Other People's Stories

(You can now find our podcast on Apple and Spotify!)

Maile and I talk about being writers who own a book shop...do we mind selling other writers' work when we haven't had much time to write ourselves? And going into 2025, how do we get back on track in our own writing life? Do conditions need to be perfect for you to step out and follow your dream?

This one's for anyone working a day job who also wants to pursue their creative dreams.
