Perfect title, perfect cover. And sounds super interesting. I can't believe you let this sentence go by without comment: "So you’re also just constantly butting up against your own inadequacy." 😂

I wish you had recognized the significance of her sharing two miscarriages and that grief rather than moving on to a question about the book

Thanks for the note, Alice. You’re right, I hustled the conversation along faster that I should have there. Regret the missed opportunity.

This interview was so well done! And Heather’s book sounds fascinating! Definitely going to get a copy. I totally relate to the psychological toughness of writing a book. It’s lonely and you can’t always see the finish line. And you don’t get immediate feedback as you do with a substack:)

Good luck finishing your book, Mason! I can’t wait to read it!

Thanks, Jillian! I think writing, in general, requires more psychological toughness than most people would ever imagine (or so I keep telling myself)!

It really does! That's why I love reading your pieces about how other authors struggled too :)
