We’re back with another one of our segments, Write State of Mind, where we interview authors about mindset, their processes, and their journey. This week we have Jenna Hartley! In this episode we discussed:

• Processing negative reviews
• Tips for falling in love with your work
• Writing as continuous work
• Minimalism in relation to writing work
• Writing during a global pandemic
• Movement as a component of mindset work
• Bullet journaling
• Writing as an experiment
• The growth mindset

Contemporary romance author, Jenna Hartley writes about strong, independent women and the men who dare to love them. Her characters aren't perfect; they're authentic. Her passion is to make their stories feel as real for readers as they do to her, infusing each one with sexy, sweet, and laughable moments that reflect real love.

When she's not writing, Jenna spends her days chasing after a hilarious and imaginative toddler, as well as hunting down new allergy-friendly recipes for them to cook together. She lives in Texas with her family and loves nothing more than a good book, good chocolate, and Topo Chico.

Jenna hangs out on Instagram, her Facebook page, and her website.

Find Jenna’s books on our affiliate Bookshop or via her website.
