## Resource

We're back! In part two of my conversation with Ramon Almonte, author of The Fogs of Time , we pick right up where we left off — starting with his spontaneous move to Japan with just $800 in his pocket and how that trip sparked his writing career. We also get into his fascinating take on learning languages, why your inner thoughts need to switch languages to truly become fluent, and how he's raising a trilingual son. Ramon also pulls back the curtain on what it actually looks like to self-publish and run a book tour — from calling stores to consignment deals. A great continuation from part one, so if you haven't listened to that yet, start there first! To watch the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/kFq-mwp7R44?si=c26Ll9KNanOrZvKD His website: R.M.
