I think its so cool you offered to give so generously of your time to all of these other Substacks! I love the thoughtful range of questions listed and look forward to poking around for the answers and undoubtedly finding some wonderful newsletters to subscribe to along the way. How fabulous!

Loved reading this, it's very much where I'm at right now with work and writing: "I was definitely not an overnight success story, and it took me six or seven years of hustling, doing any freelance copywriting gig I could find, for example, while I would write my books on the side. It was challenging. But I really wanted it.

I'll add it was strange to be in corporate America with no ambitions within my 9-5 existence, and sometimes I wondered what was wrong with me. Because I did not feel like a lazy person and in fact I would prefer to be working than not. But it was just that I was not at the correct job for me. And I just needed to write my way toward the right one."

What an open-hearted thing you did here, Jami. 🙏 I read every post. I’m sending you all best wishes for your book release tomorrow; I hope it’s a magical day for you. I ordered a copy from my local indie bookstore, and can’t wait to get my hands in it. Thank you for your wonderful books, but also for your ongoing encouragement for those of us writers, who are nobody (yet) to the world, but who are somebody to our own work and our own selves. ✌️💙📚
