TB is about to start a staycation and is already in vacay mode. But first, she finished her London novella and got it to her editor 5 days before the deadline. She’s feeling light and free, but she’s pretty sure in a week or so, she’ll be back to her freak-out mode.
Clare has been doing her best to manage her tooth pain and finally got her first full night’s sleep. Woot! She’s also on her second week of a shoe-buying frenzy. Her Christmas novel has a cover. Now, she just needs to finish the book, but first she’s working on the second draft of London 7 before returning to fa-la-laing.
The duo turns to the topic: Things they’ve been wrong about in their writing careers. TB shares 3 goofs, but she’s pretty sure at some point in her career, she’s been wrong with just about everything. Clare shares 4 things she’s been wrong about. They both caution authors not to simply follow the advice of others since each career is different. Take the time to learn your genre and your own author branding. And, remember no matter what, you’ll make mistakes, but you can learn from them and pivot. Also, TB still can’t do math.
What have you been wrong about in your career?

Clare and TB
