Hi Jami and Sara! I’m a long time listener and I had a short stint as an indie author that started in 2019. However life happened and writing went by the wayside but I’ve been inhaling your new episodes as well as listening to older episodes over again as I really miss writing and publishing and want to get back into it. Thank you so much for the podcast, yall are my favorite and are inspiring me to find my passion for writing again! -Chandler
