Quote of the Episode:
"I want you to understand that it can feel like this big overwhelming project, but if you take it piece by piece and break it down, it doesn't have to be overwhelming. That is not to say we shouldn't respect the gravity of writing a book. We absolutely should, but when you have community…you don't feel as isolated." Taiia Smart Young on the journey of authorship
