I get a lot of questions about my writing schedule, but I’m never quite sure how to answer them.

Admittedly, I’ve made up a convoluted system. It can be difficult to explain. This is primarily because I’m self-taught, so a lot of what I do is A) very personalized to my own needs and B) built off of vibes. But let me try to drill down to the heart of it.

One book is on submission, while another is just a twinkling idea in my eye.

This haphazard method works for me! I love having multiple tabs open in my brain! When I get bored with one project, I can hop to another one—and when I get bored with that second one, I can peek in on a third. I’m free!
