This week I’m switching gears—and sharing what it really looks like to grow a creative business from scratch.

I’m talking about my goal to reach 100 newsletter subscribers, why I’m not asking friends and family to sign up, and the honest (sometimes sad!) numbers behind this podcast. I’m also sharing my next move to reach more readers—hello, short story submissions—and why I’m putting my assassin stories on pause (for now).

Plus, I talk about From Paris With Love, YouTube Shorts movie recs, and the surprising joy of a well-placed object reveal.
