Learning to Say No to Mom Guilt with Author MK Pagano
Are you a parent to an amazing human, or maybe more than one, who is the center of your world, and you’re also a writer with a passion for what you do and struggle to balance both, plus all the other stuff life throws your way?
Yeah, me too.
MK Pagano writes books about messy girls, mayhem, and murder. She is the author of the novel Girls Who Burn, touted by Liz Lawson, a New York Times Bestselling Author, as “a romantic, beautifully written mystery that is sure to keep you up all night…and not let you go until its final stunning twist.”
She was a delightful guest. So incredibly honest and open about her journey to publication and the “writer-mom-life.” She certainly inspired me, and I’ve already booked my babysitter for one afternoon a week because of this conversation. MK also offers practical advice for writing mystery-thrillers and mentions fantastic resources for those plotting a thriller: (Essential Thriller Beats) courtesy of Alexa Donne, author of The Ivies.
MK’s story is a testament to self-compassion, persistence, and learning how to get back up when the worst-case scenario for a newly agented writer knocks you down.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
