Today, it's all about selling my e-books directly to readers, using my backlist, talking about Kim's Convenience (and storytelling), the happy revision feeling, time management and expectations and that happy "I got that one paragraph" feeling from revising #TheLeftoverBride.

I love watching Kim's Convenience and mostly watch it without thinking about the storytelling part but sometimes it just leaps through to my writer's mind. :-)
