Cheyanne Young is a native Texan with a fear of cold weather and a coffee addiction that probably needs an intervention. She loves books, sarcasm, and collecting nail polish. After nearly a decade of working in engineering, Cheyanne now writes books for young adults. Cheyanne lives near the beach with her family, one spoiled rotten puppy, and a cat that is most likely plotting to take over the world. Her newest book, The Last Wish of Sasha Cade, is available now.
Rachel Lynn Solomon writes, tap dances, and collects lipstick in Seattle, Washington.

I finished writing my TENTH novel! I can’t fully give credit to social isolation. I’ve been closing in on ‘the end’ for several weeks so all it took was me continuing to write in the morning, as is my normal schedule. But as we can attest, these past few weeks have been anything but normal.
Kathleen Glasgow is one of my favorite writers because she’s not afraid to dive deep into the darkest corners of despair. It can sometimes be hard to read, but it’s so important to explore all parts of life. Her first novel, Girl in Pieces, was a NYT best seller, and her second, How to Make Friends with the Dark, was equally compelling.
It took me close to a year to settle on a system that works for me, and since then I have talked to countless people about my method. The most common thing I hear is “I wish I could do something like this.” A couple friends have even gone so far as to buy the journal, but that’s as far as they get. So I am here NOW to break down my system with LOTS of pictures to show you that this isn’t rocket science. It’s not even science. It’s just a notebook and pretty pens and about 10-15 minutes per week.
