Valerie and Author Aspen Hadley discuss what it's like to be an author. No. What it's really like. We momsplain (TM Valerie Loveless) a lot and laugh too much. We come to the conclusion that it's totally cool and normal to be a disaster most of the time as long as you try really hard. We had a ton of fun and there's a lot of laughing, cackling, and giggling. We tackle hard questions, like why don't we write old people romance and how come kids have that fake cry at 5-8 years old?
