    1. You are so sweet, Suzy. Thanks you for listening! And thanks for the virtual homemade pumpkin cupcakes. They were super tasty. I hope you don't mind that I saved one to squish on Tara's nose. She's such a goof. I just couldn't resist ;)

  3. I'm new to everything: writing, SCBWI, PiBoIdMo...and this is the first podcast I've ever listened to. I'm blown away by all of the support. Literally. Mind blowing up with ideas. This is what I needed. Thank you, thank you.

    1. I'm so glad you found the podcast, Farm Barbie, and especially that you enjoyed what you heard. The kidlit writing community never ceases to amaze me in their endless support and inspiration for and of on another. Thanks for listening!
