Adrienne had to take some time off this week--thank you flu!--so enjoy this replay of Episode #57 Time Off and enjoy the break.

Making a living by writing alone--or writing one genre only--can be difficult, if not impossible. This week Adrienne and Eliza discuss the different side projects they take on to make ends meet.

Eliza prefers spreadsheets and organizers. Adrienne is a creature of chaos. This week the misfits discuss how they organize (or don't) everything from books to business.
