I’m just back from a week at sea on a boat full of writers as part of the Writing Excuses Retreat and Workshop. Writing Excuses is a podcast hosted by some dear friends of mine and I’ve had the pleasure of being a guest host, repeat speaker on the cruise, and occasional podcast drop-in for industry questions, the perspective from the agent’s desk, and general yelling about writing about and for marginalized perspectives. It’s great. I love the podcast and I love the retreat. Mostly, it’s because I love teaching.
Sorry, missed this one when it first published. Matt Kirby always tells me plan on nothing ever from writing and you'll be happy. Wisdom isn't always encouraging, good to have second sage witnessing to some hard truths.
Thank you deeply for sharing this, and for everything else you do to help and educate us writers, both in business and in craft. I know I speak for many of us. You're awesome, dude.

Wonderfully written, as always. Very empathetic, but still a good reality check for when Things Happen
