I love this so much! And I relate to it hard. The best part of my writing journey has been the feeling I f finding my people. I love getting to connect with so many writers I admire.

So happy for you Abby, that you've found your wonderful, nurturing tribe!

I would like to introduce you to new author (and looooong-time local musician and wildlife whisperer) Mary Ann Redmond. She has recently written a book for children (of all ages!) called "Boopable." She collaborated with a fabulous illustrator named Kathy Moore Wilson to produce this loving ode to wildlife. She also wrote a song for the book!

I feel your gratitude in this post, Abby! Discovering the writing community has been so important to me. Had I made the discovery earlier, I may have shaved off a few years of struggling and not knowing what I was doing. I likely posted it before, but yours is one of my favorite and relatable memoirs. Perhaps I will see you May 11. :)
