I've received rejections and I've had to give them too. It's never easy, but this is pretty clever."

In trying to figure this out, this week, I interviewed Madam Lichtenstein aka Charlene Lichtenstein, author of…See More

Sometimes I write straight through the weekend (in between soccer games and birthday parties), but then I feel like…
