Book Writing: Week 2

For those just joining us — hi, hello, welcome — Jenny and I are writing a book together.

It’s called Divorce Happens: A Compassionate Guide to Starting Fresh, it’s published by Sheldon Press, and it comes out August 24th, 2027.

We are so proud of it and also slightly unhinged from writing it, which feels correct.

Every week we’re dropping in to tell you how it’s going. The important stuff, obviously.

It’s been a week! We had the honor of being part of a beautiful writer’s salon hosted by Jessica Ciencin Henriquez so powerful to be in community with other writers and be in a safe space to read our work out loud.

favorite lines this week

Jenny

"You are navigating a road walked by many but only discussed in hushed tones."

Olivia

"Think about it this way: by letting yourself feel the different emotions at one time, you are actually rebelling against a system that has been wanting to keep you small since the dawn of time."

We are so proud of it and also slightly unhinged from writing it, which feels correct.  Every week we’re dropping in to tell you how it’s going. The important stuff, obviously.
