Amanda Kondolojy’s 5 favorite things of 2024

In a deadline-driven world, I am often a little late. I always tell folks that if I could describe myself with a showtune lyric (I’m a huge Broadway fan), it would probably be from The Last Five Years’ track The Next Ten Minutes, when Cathy says “Anything other than being exactly on time I can do.” It’s not exactly the most convenient when you’re working in publishing, but I have sharpened my apology skills and maybe next year (so….2026?) will be the year that I finally get all my writing done on time.
