Sensibility- Trust your inner muse and write from there. Your best work comes from the most authentic you!
Sense- Never give up. The next thing you draft, revise and submit could bring you something totally unexpected.
That’s wonderful news! Congratulations!
Thank you, Shereen! I’m very happy:)
Yay! So glad to hear your happy news! And have another book to add to my to-read list!
Thanks so much, Erin!
