Loved learning about your experiences with mainstream and indie publishing. I’ve called myself an indie author for years and appreciate your description of the term in the world of writing.

Thank you for the mention!

I'm absolutely honored to share people's stories about rescue and about their bonds with their animals! My animals have meant so much to me, and even other people's animals. They give us so much, and we sing and make art about them. It's a very special relationship.

I am grateful you gave me the space to do that especially with Katara whose memory I want to carry forward forever. Love the way you described this <3

A great, selection, thank you!

The idea of letting go of perfection reminds me of the quote "Nothing is fun until you're good at it" by Amy Chua, which I find absolutely awful. If something is a hobby I think the doing is far more important than the result.

Agree - I am definitely so much more about process than end result!
