I would sit there in our Zoom meetings and think I should, quote unquote, should be able to do this alone.
But there is some kind of like there's some magic in it.
Like it's I highly recommend it.
She goes to his hill country home and they sort of trade blood for a safe place for a little while.
I've rewritten this three times, I think maybe three and a half.
And I wrote two more books, terrible books, but each better than the last.
I definitely don't think I would have gotten the work done this last year if I hadn't had Jamie as my buddy and met every week.
I was on TikTok and just some random dude was like, does anybody want to be accountability buddies with me?
And I was like, I don't even know what that is, but sure, I'll try it.
And he's an author too.
And I just, I said yes.
And then we met, I think that same week on Zoom.
And I don't think either of us knew exactly what it was going to look like, but we have been meeting every week, every Friday at nine o'clock for over a year now.
And then we can kind of chit-chat afterwards about what we're doing in our lives.
I have a sister.
She's a writer, too.
And I don't think we could do it because we talk too much, you know, about other things.
So I do think one of the pitfalls is trying to have an accountability buddy for all of your goals.
I think narrow it down to, you know, whatever this one thing you're meeting about is.
When we meet on Friday, I am supposed to have gone through my first 10 chapters in my novel for revisions and recorded five TikToks.
