In episode 4, It\u2019s Giving Not So Romantic: Bursting the Bubble on how Romantic the writing career is. From the hustle behind the scenes to the friendships (and \u201cmean girl\u201d dynamics) that shape the industry, we\u2019re getting real about what it means to be both a writer and a businessperson. We talk about editing, navigating a lack of support from friends and family, deciphering true friends vs. users, and why this industry never stops demanding your hustle.
