Welcome to the very first episode of Tuesdays: Behind the Scenes. Each week, I’ll take you just beyond the finished work to share a glimpse of the ideas, experiments, and tiny decisions that shape what you see on the surface.

This week I discuss why this is an important topic. Being a writer in 2026 can feel like swimming through treacherous waters. Each of us is just waiting to be pulled out of the water by that perfect agent or publishing company to be placed on dry land.

Thank you for watching and for being here at the beginning of this new series. I’d love for you to follow along each Tuesday as we continue to peel back the curtain and share more of the process behind the scenes.
