Carley Fortune has turned in her first draft for her sixth book, but is also taking time to "reevaluate" her timeline while addressing burnout. "I really want to write books that I’m proud of, and it just takes me, it takes time .. I burn out as a journalist very, very badly ... I think I'm kind of there. I just kind of need to like, reevaluate, to be really, really honest."
