This was great! I relate to Holly as an achievement oriented go-getter and I love her methods for editing to keep her moving and not stuck at a desk. I, too, have a day job which allows me to write for fun and removes the pressure to make money from my writing. 💖 Thank you!
I feel you both on that, too, re: achievement orientation. Maybe I shouldn’t have I cut out the portion of my response to Holly after that answer that basically came down to “YES.” 😀
Loved this interview! Holly I didn’t realize writing is your second full time job, even more in awe of how you can keep multiple books on the go at once! So helpful to hear you are a fellow pantser 💪and that “It usually takes me a good chunk of a manuscript (maybe 30k-50k words) to be able to know enough about where the story is going to coherently pitch it to my agent and/or editor.” That’s helpful validation to finding your own story. Congrats on getting to yes after 132 nos and keep up the awesome work!! 👏🏽
