This week we’re (figuratively) ripping our skin off and talking about the books we’re writing! This is an appetizer to a series we’re planning to do this summer all about how a book gets made. We give a mini preview about what our books are about, and break down what our book writing process was like, from what made us finally start writing to what we wish we knew before we wrote our books. We also share the resources that helped us along our process and talk about what’s coming next for our books!
We also recap our long weekend trips and our feelings about hot dogs 🌭
Resources that helped us in our process:
Becca:
Olivia:
Our Obsessions:
Becca: Tretorn Nylite Original Sneakers in Leather
Olivia: Darkness (AKA the sun going down)

1:21.2 | then I had people, Rachel and then our friend Jess lives in London, to hang out with at night. |
