I’ve heard a lot of writers talk about spending years writing before they get an agent, how can I know if it’ll ever happen for me or if I should give up?

Hi Gail. How do you keep the faith and motivation to write as you are entering your mid-life when time is not on your side and you have yet to catch the eye of an agent and ultimately receive an offer of publication? Thank you!

Do you have any advice for writers who are working a full-time day job on establishing a good writing routine and continuing to make forward progress? Balancing the it’s-a-job-put-in-the-hours mentality with the magic?

Also – thank you! Your books that twist and play with and subvert fairy tales (in a loving way) have been such a huge influence on my reading and writing!

Actually your advice on being sure your deadline is out far enough was really helpful. Thanks so much! And I’m a huge fan of your books. We’re so lucky you’re here.

I loved the worldbuilding in your book, Ella Enchanted. So, I was wondering, what do you love the most about worldbuilding?
