Hospitality owners put a tiny line on the bottom of the menu that says there are surcharges on weekends and public holidays. Penalty rates. Staff cost more on weekends and holidays, but I don’t understand why the cost is ours.

Crying on my keyboard (the messy, joyful reality of chasing dreams and getting published)

I’ve cried over my book more times than I can count—over scenes that wouldn’t work, rejections that stung, and the fear that I wasn’t cut out for this. But I’ve also cried over milestones, prizes, and deals I never thought I’d see. Here’s what I’ve learnt.
