"If you say in the first section of an essay that there are spreadsheets, in the fourth section of the essay they absolutely must go off. So here they are — kapow." I've long loved Rachael's writing, however it may make its way to me. For Scratch, she shares the costs of self-publishing.

As ever, I remain grateful for how open so many writers I admire have been with us about their struggles and successes.
