Greetings, Whatevers—and a happy Twat-tastic Tuesday* to all who celebrate!

Today we welcomed author

Diane Geurts

to The Daily Whatever, to talk about her newly published novel, Still the Millers.

We chatted about all the things: self- versus trad-publishing, inspiration and muses, horses and meth labs, and most of all, Diane’s sage advice for all of us multi-hyphenate busy writer Join utypes: write one sentence per day.

Be sure to follow Diane on Substack and Medium!
