No one likes to talk about money. Either you admit how bad you are or you’re awkward because you make a lot. Or you’re a jerk, but we aren’t talking to those people. I’m here to talk about my income, what an advance really means, and how to best use your writing income. We also discuss YNAB, my favorite budgeting tool, and authors Valerie Valdes and Premee Mohamed show up in chat to give their input.
