I updated listeners on my goal of reading 175 books and wrap up my July reading list. Find that list in the show notes on my website: Booksbydlwhite.com/bookcast/93 . I also discuss the anxiety of the earnings reset at the beginning of each month, and I share my efforts to navigate platforms like Substack while managing my writing and publishing journey.
