About this Episode

Like many writers, I've known what I wanted to do since childhood, and I've always known I'd need a dayjob. But, I didn't recognize how hard it would be to break into publishing in the first place. To be honest? This is taking longer than I wanted.

So, let's talk about one writer's path -- or at least, one writer's roadblocks.
