Man, that quote by Alissa is spot on. There are so many times I think back to things my daughter would do when she was younger and wish I could experience it one more time.

Right?! I've been really drawn to Alissa's writing lately. Stories told with grace, empathy and stunning imagery.

I've been looking at your illustrations for a while, John, and I must say, they've really improved. The Russian doll one just slaps!

I think I want to write about my illustrating journey now!

Also, are you alright with me sharing your affiliate links to the upcoming WOP workshops?

John you know that Chuck Palahniuk has a Substack?! One of the gems I found this week.. !! And he teaches too I think. Great article and I really like the use of German! Maybe I will try Arabic in my next one..

Ah wow, now that is cool! Another writer I admire, George Saunders, also has a great Substack. Excited to see you inject some Arabic in the next one. Appreciate the comment.
