@cld2cents C. Louise, thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you were able to join my SCBWI FL virtual workshop last month and that you found it helpful. Hope to meet you in the future. Much success in your writing career!❤️

Webinar by @SheilaFernley on Sunday was the most useful info I've ever received. (Lots of good stuff in others but mostly repeat or vague.) Sheila's info was new to me. Also, practical & specific. I'd love to attend her live workshops. Maybe if I'm in Florida for my horses.
