Cintia asked Maya Rodale:

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?

Maya Rodale Hi there! True fact: writing is hard and not for the faint of heart! Write for your own entertainment, or because you have a story you are burning to tell, or because [insert personal reason here] and then the rest of it matters a little less. ;-)

Hi! I was wondering if there was anything extra planned for Josephine? I know you're done with the Cavendishes and you gave her a little bonus on your website but I oh so wanted to read more about her and the older guy flirting with her at Amelia's wedding!! Or was that just a passing fling? I guess I just really wanted her to also get an HEA witha hot man lol

Is the Lady Jane's Salon still a thing? Goodreads leads to a broken link and the address leads to a parked page. Say it ain't so! (although I appreciate we all evolve)
