Are you in the mood for a Caribbean getaway? Then, you’ll like this assignment. Pick up a copy of debut author,
Lisa Stringfellow’s, Comb of Wishes. Once you start reading, you won’t want to stop.

What’s your favorite coffee drink? Mine is a decaf latte from Starbucks with coconut milk. It costs $5 but it helps me stay awake on my commute. Maybe this podcast helps you stay awake on your commute or maybe it keeps you engaged at home when you’re doing housework or maybe it helps the miles go by when you’re out for a run. Whatever the case, please consider becoming a Chalk + Ink Patreon supporter. If you become a friend of the podcast, it only costs $3 an episode, which is way less than a grande decaf latte. Plus, you get access to awesome writing workshop videos created by podcast guests.
