    ]]>     How Do You Please Everyone With Your Writing? Spoiler Alert: You can’t.

    In the query trenches, you see agents posting about what they don’t want and there’s this knee-jerk reaction, when I recognize a trope from my writing in their ‘no thank you’ list.

    Thanks for listening! I'll be back next Monday with more rambling ideas about writing.
