Down About Writing? WATCH THIS! | Writer Pep Talk

I'm here with a writer pep talk for all seasons and reasons! If you're down about writing, I am here to cheer you up. I'm offering positive encouragement about finishing books, editing, querying, traditional publishing, and more!
The sun decided to have some fun with me, so apologies for the variance in brightness in the video! I'm also getting over a cold, which you can probably tell.
