Rachel writes while standing up, at the makeshift desk. That's something to try.

Interesting interview, Ingrid!

Rachel's romanticized version of "the Writer's Life" sounds a lot like mine, with lots of reading added in!

Oh yes, of course with lots of reading too in the afternoon after writing hours :)

Enjoyed this! In another life I feel as though we'd be friends Rachel. Lots of good advice - write anywhere, don't ignore the voice!

Another great interview, Ingrid. Rachel sounds so clever, and yes, introverted like me, getting drained around people, but extroverted among good friends! Thank you for introducing her ❤️🙏

Best way to be, really. Tiring at times, but we see things others don’t.
