Book Writing: Week 3

📖 Week 3 of writing Divorce Happens is IN THE BOOKS 🎉

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 weird week. Olivia’s kids were home on Spring Break, Olivia had a migraine, and we did a lot of editing (hence the word count being in the negative). We also did a ton of marketing strategy this week and cannot wait to share what we’ve been working on!

favorite lines this week

Jenny

"The thing about divorce or a major break up is your whole life is sort of shattered on the ground in front of you. It’s like someone took a beautiful vase you once really loved and smashed it."

Olivia

"Joy can feel like the most dangerous emotion in early divorce — because it seems like evidence.”

We’re meeting with our wonderful editor Rachel next week — more to come!
