  And
• 4:53
  I

  share
• 4:54
  this
• 4:54
  with
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  audience
• 4:55
  on
• 4:55
  how
• 4:55
  we
• 4:56
  met.
• 4:56
  It
• 4:57
  all
• 4:57
  stems
• 4:58
  from.
• 4:59
  There's
• 4:59
  a
• 4:59
  little
• 4:59
  purple
• 5:00
  box
• 5:01
  back
• 5:01
  there.
• 5:02
  And
• 5:03
  so
• 5:03
  just
• 5:03
  so
• 5:03
  the
• 5:04
  audience
• 5:04
  understands
• 5:05
  he's
• 5:05
  listening
• 5:05
  to
• 5:05
  the
• 5:05
  audio,
• 5:06
  Tanya
• 5:07
  sent
• 5:07
  me
• 5:08
  a
• 5:08
  gift.
• 5:09
  Tanya,
• 5:09
  I'll
• 5:09
  tell
• 5:09
  you
• 5:10
  what
• 5:10
  I
• 5:10
  call
• 5:10
  it,
• 5:11
  and
• 5:11
  then
• 5:11
  you
• 5:11
  can
• 5:11
  tell
• 5:12
  me
• 5:12
  what
• 5:12
  you
• 5:12
  call
• 5:13
  it.
• 5:13
  On
• 5:14
  my
• 5:14
  doorstep
• 5:15
  arrived
• 5:15
  this
• 5:16
  box.
• 5:16
  And
• 5:17
  I
• 5:17
  thought,
• 5:18
  oh,
• 5:18
  what's
• 5:18
  this?
• 5:19
  And
• 5:20
  so
• 5:20
  I
• 5:20
  opened
• 5:20
  up
• 5:21
  this
• 5:21
  box.
• 5:22
  I
• 5:22
  went.
• 5:22
  I
• 5:23
  said
• 5:23
  to
• 5:23
  my
• 5:23
  wife,
• 5:24
  did
• 5:24
  you
• 5:24
  order
• 5:25
  something
• 5:25
  from
• 5:26
  Amazon?
• 5:27
  And
• 5:27
  she
• 5:28
  said,
• 5:28
  no.
• 5:28
  I
• 5:28
  said,
• 5:29
  oh,
• 5:29
  okay.
• 5:30
  So
• 5:30
  I
• 5:30
  opened
• 5:31
  up
• 5:31
  the
• 5:31
  box.
• 5:31
  It
• 5:32
  was
• 5:32
  addressed
• 5:32
  to
• 5:32
  me.
• 5:33
  I
• 5:33
  went,
• 5:34
  wow.
• 5:35
  And
• 5:36
  so,
• 5:36
  just
• 5:36
  for
• 5:36
  the
• 5:36
  audience,
• 5:37
  when
• 5:37
  I
• 5:38
  get
• 5:38
  to
• 5:38
  interview
• 5:39
  a
• 5:39
  children's
• 5:40
  book
• 5:40
  author,
• 5:41
  most
• 5:41
  of
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  time
• 5:42
  what
• 5:42
  happens
• 5:43
  is
• 5:43
  their
• 5:44
  public
• 5:44
  relations
• 5:45
  team
• 5:46
  reaches
• 5:46
  out
• 5:46
  to
• 5:47
  me
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  says,
• 5:48
  our.
• 5:48
  I
• 5:48
  think
• 5:48
  our
• 5:49
  author
• 5:49
  will
• 5:49
  be
• 5:49
  a
• 5:49
  good
• 5:50
  fit
• 5:50
  for
• 5:50
  you.
• 5:50
  Can
• 5:51
  they
• 5:51
  come
• 5:51
  on
• 5:51
  your
• 5:51
  show?
• 5:52
  I'm
• 5:52
  so
• 5:52
  excited
• 5:53
  when
• 5:53
  someone
• 5:53
  reaches
• 5:54
  out
• 5:54
  and
• 5:54
  says
• 5:55
  that
• 5:55
  to
• 5:55
  me.
• 5:55
  I
• 5:55
  say,
• 5:56
  absolutely,
• 5:57
  let's
• 5:57
  do
• 5:58
  it.
• 5:58
  Tanya
• 5:59
  took
• 5:59
  a
• 6:00
  different
• 6:00
  route.
• 6:01
  And
• 6:02
  so
• 6:02
  what
• 6:03
  I
• 6:03
  did
• 6:03
  is
• 6:03
  I
• 6:03
  got
• 6:03
  this
• 6:04
  gift,
• 6:04
  and
• 6:04
  so
• 6:04
  now
• 6:04
  I'm
• 6:05
  going
• 6:05
  to
• 6:05
  tell
• 6:05
  the
• 6:05
  audience
• 6:06
  what
• 6:06
  was
• 6:06
  in
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  gift.
• 6:07
  And
• 6:07
  in
• 6:07
  the
• 6:08
  gift,
• 6:08
  which
• 6:09
  I'm
• 6:09
  going
• 6:09
  to
• 6:09
  call
• 6:09
  a
• 6:10
  public
• 6:10
  relations
• 6:11
  book
• 6:12
  kit.
• 6:12
  Tanya,
• 6:13
  you
• 6:13
  might
• 6:13
  call
• 6:13
  it
• 6:13
  something
• 6:14
  different.
• 6:14
  And
• 6:14
  we'll
• 6:15
  talk
• 6:15
  about
• 6:15
  that
• 6:15
  in
• 6:15
  a
• 6:15
  minute.
• 6:16
  Inside,
• 6:16
  there
• 6:17
  was
• 6:18
  this
• 6:18
  incredible
• 6:20
  treasure
• 6:21
  trove
• 6:21
  of
• 6:22
  things.
• 6:23
  First,
• 6:24
  there
• 6:24
  was
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  personalized
• 6:26
  and
• 6:26
  autographed
• 6:27
  book,
• 6:28
  Tanya's
• 6:28
  book,
• 6:29
  Money
• 6:29
  Time,
• 6:30
  which
• 6:30
  I
• 6:30
  just
• 6:31
  loved.
• 6:31
  And
• 6:32
  I'm
• 6:32
  going
• 6:32
  to
• 6:32
  come
• 6:32
  back
• 6:33
  to
• 6:33
  what
• 6:33
  was
• 6:34
  what
• 6:34
  Tanya
• 6:34
  wrote
• 6:35
  to
• 6:35
  me
• 6:36
  in
• 6:36
  the
• 6:36
  book.
• 6:37
  And
• 6:37
  also
• 6:38
  in
• 6:38
  there,
• 6:39
  she
• 6:40
  teased
• 6:41
  me,
• 6:42
  so
• 6:42
  she.
• 6:42
  So
• 6:43
  I
• 6:43
  didn't
• 6:43
  even
• 6:43
  get
• 6:43
  a
• 6:43
  chance
• 6:44
  to
• 6:44
  read
• 6:44
  the
• 6:44
  book.
• 6:44
  She
• 6:44
  teased
• 6:45
  me
• 6:45
  because
• 6:46
  I
• 6:46
  got
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  piggy
• 6:47
  bank
• 6:48
  and
• 6:48
  I
• 6:49
  got
• 6:49
  bookmarks,
• 6:50
  and
• 6:50
  I
• 6:50
  got
• 6:51
  a
• 6:51
  money
• 6:51
  clip
• 6:52
  and
• 6:53
  I
• 6:53
  got
• 6:54
  stickers,
• 6:54
  and
• 6:55
  I
• 6:55
  got
• 6:55
  a
• 6:55
  toy
• 6:56
  clock.
• 6:56
  And
• 6:57
  I
• 6:57
  thought,
• 6:58
  what
• 6:58
  the
• 6:58
  heck
• 6:59
  is
• 6:59
  all
• 6:59
  of
• 7:00
  this?
• 7:01
  It
• 7:01
  was
• 7:01
  fantastic.
• 7:02
  Thank
• 7:03
  you.
• 7:03
  I
• 7:04
  thought,
• 7:04
  what
• 7:04
  a
• 7:04
  way
• 7:05
  to.
• 7:05
  To.
• 7:06
  To
• 7:06
  tease
• 7:07
  potential
• 7:08
  podcasters
• 7:09
  and
• 7:09
  you
• 7:09
  want
• 7:09
  to
• 7:09
  be
• 7:10
  on
• 7:10
  their
• 7:10
  show.
• 7:10
  And
• 7:11
  it
• 7:11
  was
• 7:11
  just
• 7:11
  incredible.
• 7:12
  And
• 7:13
  Tanya
• 7:13
  actually
• 7:14
  gave
• 7:14
  me
• 7:15
  two
• 7:15
  methods
• 7:16
  also
• 7:17
  in
• 7:17
  which
• 7:17
  to
• 7:17
  contact
• 7:18
  her.
• 7:18
  So
• 7:19
  she.
• 7:19
  She
• 7:19
  gave
• 7:20
  me
• 7:20
  her
• 7:20
  email
• 7:21
  address,
• 7:22
  and
• 7:22
  she
• 7:22
  also
• 7:23
  gave
• 7:23
  me
• 7:24
  her
• 7:24
  Instagram
• 7:25
  handle.
• 7:25
  Tanya,
• 7:26
  I
• 7:26
  immediately
• 7:28
  reached
• 7:29
  out
• 7:29
  through
• 7:30
  your
• 7:30
  email
• 7:31
  address
• 7:31
  and
• 7:31
  said
• 7:32
  I'd
• 7:32
  love
• 7:33
  to
• 7:33
  have
• 7:33
  you
• 7:34
  as
• 7:34
  a
• 7:34
  guest
• 7:35
  on
• 7:35
  our
• 7:35
  show.
• 7:36
  And
• 7:36
  I
• 7:37
  was
• 7:37
  so
• 7:37
  motivated
• 7:38
  to
• 7:38
  read
• 7:38
  your
• 7:39
  book,
• 7:39
  which
• 7:39
  I
• 7:40
  did
• 7:40
  immediately.
• 7:41
  And
• 7:42
  Tanya,
• 7:42
  one
• 7:43
  of
• 7:43
  the
• 7:43
  things
• 7:43
  that
• 7:43
  I
• 7:44
  do
• 7:44
  because
• 7:45
  you're
• 7:45
  giving
• 7:46
  up
• 7:46
  your
• 7:46
  time
• 7:47
  and
• 7:47
  we're
• 7:48
  discussing
• 7:48
  your
• 7:48
  book.
• 7:49
  So
• 7:50
  look
• 7:50
  back
• 7:50
  here,
• 7:51
  I
• 7:51
  actually
• 7:51
  purchased
• 7:52
  another
• 7:52
  book
• 7:53
  craft
• 7:54
  copy
• 7:54
  and
• 7:54
  then
• 7:54
  I
• 7:54
  have
• 7:55
  the
• 7:55
  book
• 7:55
  I
• 7:55
  can
• 7:55
  share
• 7:56
  with
• 7:56
  my
• 7:57
  grandchildren.
• 7:58
  Thank
• 7:58
  you.
• 7:58
  My
• 7:59
  pleasure.
• 7:59
  I
• 7:59
  just
• 8:00
  couldn't
• 8:00
  resist.
• 8:01
  And
• 8:02
  I
• 8:02
  just
• 8:03
  have
• 8:03
  to
• 8:03
  tell
• 8:03
  you
• 8:04
  how
• 8:04
  fantastic
• 8:05
  receiving
• 8:06
  your
• 8:06
  little
• 8:07
  bundle
• 8:07
  of
• 8:07
  joy.
• 8:08
  A
• 8:08

• 8:09
  in

  I'll

• 8:43
  just
• 8:43
  means
• 8:43
  so
• 8:43
  much
• 8:44
  to
• 8:44
  me.
• 8:44
  I
• 8:44
  was
• 8:45
  inspired
• 8:46
  by
• 8:46
  actually
• 8:47
  I'm
• 8:47
  also
• 8:47
  a
• 8:47
  speech
• 8:47
  language
• 8:48
  pathologist
• 8:49
  and
• 8:49
  I
• 8:49
  was
• 8:49
  inspired
• 8:50
  by
• 8:50
  my
• 8:50
  students
• 8:51
  to
• 8:51
  write
• 8:51
  the
• 8:51
  book
• 8:52
  Money
• 8:52
  Time
• 8:52
  because
• 8:52
  they
• 8:53
  consistently
• 8:54
  telling
• 8:54
  me
• 8:55
  I
• 8:55
  was
• 8:55
  working
• 8:55
  at
• 8:55
  the
• 8:55
  time
• 8:55
  I
• 8:56
  was
• 8:56
  working
• 8:56
  in
• 8:56
  a
• 8:56
  high
• 8:56
  school
• 8:57
  and
• 8:57
  they
• 8:57
  were
• 8:58
  telling
• 8:58
  me
• 8:58
  that
• 8:58
  balancing
• 8:59
  all
• 8:59
  of
• 8:59
  their
• 9:00
  academic
• 9:00
  and
• 9:01
  their
• 9:01
  social
• 9:01
  obligations
• 9:02
  was
• 9:02
  challenging.
• 9:03
  And
• 9:03
  I
• 9:04
  was
• 9:04
  reading
• 9:04
  a
• 9:04
  book
• 9:04
  to
• 9:04
  my
• 9:05
  son
• 9:05
  who
• 9:05
  was
• 9:05
  a
• 9:06
  toddler,
• 9:06
  now
• 9:06
  he's
• 9:06
  2.
• 9:07
  At
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  time
• 9:08
  he
• 9:08
  was
• 9:08
  a
• 9:08
  few
• 9:08
  months
• 9:08
  old
• 9:08
  because
• 9:09
  I
• 9:09
  was
• 9:09
  reading
• 9:10
  him
• 9:10
  since
• 9:10
  birth.
• 9:11
  So
• 9:11
  I
• 9:11
  actually
• 9:12
  was
• 9:12
  reading
• 9:12
  a
• 9:12
  book
• 9:13
  and
• 9:13
  I
• 9:13
  was
• 9:13
  thinking
• 9:13
  of
• 9:13
  my
• 9:14
  students
• 9:14
  and
• 9:15
  I
• 9:15
  was
• 9:15
  in
• 9:15
  the
• 9:16
  the
• 9:16
  flow
• 9:16
  because
• 9:17
  I
• 9:17
  was
• 9:17
  reading
• 9:17
  a
• 9:17
  story
• 9:18
  and
• 9:18
  I
• 9:18
  had
• 9:18
  this
• 9:19
  idea
• 9:19
  that
• 9:19
  came
• 9:19
  to
• 9:20
  me
• 9:20
  and
• 9:20
  I'm
• 9:21
  just
• 9:21
  as
• 9:21
  it
• 9:21
  was
• 9:21
  my
• 9:21
  first
• 9:22
  book,
• 9:22
  I'm
• 9:22
  just
• 9:23
  still
• 9:23
  getting
• 9:23
  started
• 9:24
  with
• 9:24
  it
• 9:24
  and
• 9:25
  I,
• 9:25
  I
• 9:25
  wrote
• 9:25
  notes
• 9:26
  in
• 9:26
  my
• 9:26
  phone
• 9:26
  just
• 9:27
  ideas
• 9:27
  and
• 9:28
  about
• 9:28
  how
• 9:29
  money
• 9:29
  and
• 9:29
  time
• 9:30
  have
• 9:30
  similarities,
• 9:31
  how
• 9:31
  you
• 9:31
  can
• 9:32
  save,
• 9:32
  you
• 9:32
  could
• 9:33
  spend
• 9:33
  it,
• 9:33
  you
• 9:33
  can
• 9:33
  waste
• 9:34
  time.
• 9:34
  And
• 9:35
  then
• 9:35
  I
• 9:35
  said
• 9:35
  it's
• 9:35
  a
• 9:35
  tangible
• 9:36
  way
• 9:36
  for
• 9:36
  children
• 9:37
  to
• 9:37
  think
• 9:37
  about
• 9:38
  how
• 9:38
  to
• 9:38
  spend
• 9:38
  their
• 9:39
  time
• 9:39
  and
• 9:39
  what
• 9:39
  to
• 9:39
  do
• 9:40
  with
• 9:40
  it.
• 9:40
  So
• 9:41
  that's
• 9:41
  how
• 9:41
  it
• 9:41
  came
• 9:42
  to
• 9:42
  be.
• 9:42
  And
• 9:43
  that's
• 9:43
  just
• 9:43
  how
• 9:43
  I
• 9:43
  really,
• 9:44
  that's
• 9:44
  how
• 9:44
  I
• 9:44
  began.
• 9:44
  That's
• 9:45
  how
• 9:45
  I
• 9:45
  got
• 9:45
  started.
• 9:46
  I
• 9:46
  love
• 9:46
  it
• 9:46
  because
• 9:47
  you
• 9:47
  know
• 9:47
  what
• 9:47
  the
• 9:48
  I
• 9:48
  love
• 9:48
  how
• 9:49
  you
• 9:49
  use
• 9:49
  the,
• 9:50
  like
• 9:50
  you
• 9:50
  said,
• 9:50
  time
• 9:51
  and
• 9:51
  money
• 9:51
  and
• 9:51
  the
• 9:52
  24
• 9:52
  hour
• 9:53
  clock
• 9:53
  and
• 9:53
  the
• 9:54
  $24
• 9:55
  and
• 9:55
  we'll
• 9:55
  get
• 9:55
  more
• 9:55
  into
• 9:56
  that.
• 9:56
  So
• 9:57
  neat.
• 9:57
  So
• 9:57
  I'd
• 9:58
  like
• 9:58
  to
• 9:58
  know
• 9:58
  a
• 9:58
  bit
• 9:59
  about
• 9:59
  each
• 10:00
  of
• 10:00
  us
• 10:00
  has
• 10:00
  a
• 10:00
  unique
• 10:01
  way
• 10:01
  of
• 10:02
  publishing
• 10:02
  our
• 10:03
  publishing
• 10:03
  approach.
• 10:04
  So
• 10:05
  far,
• 10:06
  in
• 10:06
  the
• 10:07
  research
• 10:07
  I've
• 10:07
  been
• 10:08
  doing,
• 10:08
  talking
• 10:08
  to
• 10:08
  other
• 10:09
  children's
• 10:09
  book
• 10:10
  authors,
• 10:10
  you're
• 10:11
  either
• 10:11
  self
• 10:11
  published,
• 10:12
  traditionally
• 10:13
  published,
• 10:14
  or
• 10:15
  a
• 10:15
  hybrid,
• 10:16
  which
• 10:16
  is
• 10:16
  the
• 10:17
  combination
• 10:17
  of
• 10:18
  self
• 10:18
  published
• 10:19
  and
• 10:19
  traditional.
• 10:20
  Can
• 10:20
  you
• 10:21
  tell
• 10:21
  us
• 10:21
  your
• 10:22
  story,
• 10:22
  share
• 10:23
  your
• 10:23
  approach
• 10:23
  and
• 10:24
  why
• 10:24
  you
• 10:24
  took
• 10:24
  that
• 10:25
  route?
• 10:25
  Sure.
• 10:26
  Everything
• 10:26
  you
• 10:26
  said
• 10:26
  when
• 10:27
  I
• 10:27
  was
• 10:27
  doing
• 10:27
  research,
• 10:27
  same
• 10:28
  thing.
• 10:28
  I
• 10:28
  was
• 10:28
  finding
• 10:28
  out
• 10:29
  about
• 10:29
  traditional
• 10:29
  publishing
• 10:30
  and
• 10:30
  self
• 10:31
  publishing.
• 10:31
  With
• 10:32
  traditional
• 10:32
  publishing,
• 10:33
  I
• 10:33
  heard
• 10:34
  that
• 10:34
  it
• 10:34
  was
• 10:34
  advised
• 10:35
  that
• 10:35
  you.
• 10:35
  You're
• 10:35
  supposed
• 10:35
  to
• 10:35
  get
• 10:36
  a
• 10:36
  literary
• 10:36
  agent.
• 10:37
  And
• 10:37
  I'm
• 10:38
  very
• 10:38
  open
• 10:38
  to
• 10:38
  doing
• 10:38
  that
• 10:39
  in
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  future
• 10:39
  with
• 10:39
  other
• 10:40
  book
• 10:40
  ideas
• 10:40
  I
• 10:40
  have,
• 10:41
  but
• 10:41
  I
• 10:41
  didn't
• 10:42
  really
• 10:42
  know
• 10:42
  where
• 10:42
  to
• 10:43
  begin
• 10:43
  with
• 10:43
  that.
• 10:43
  So
• 10:44
  then
• 10:44
  when
• 10:44
  I
• 10:44
  found
• 10:44
  out
• 10:45
  about
• 10:45
  self
• 10:46
  publishing,
• 10:47
  it
• 10:47
  was
• 10:47
  just
• 10:47
  a
• 10:48
  personal
• 10:48
  goal
• 10:48
  for
• 10:48
  me
• 10:49
  to
• 10:49
  finish
• 10:49
  what
• 10:49
  I
• 10:50
  start
• 10:50
  in
• 10:51
  the
• 10:51
  year
• 10:51
  2024.
• 10:52
  I'm
• 10:52
  like,
• 10:52
  you
• 10:52
  just
• 10:52
  have
• 10:52
  to.
• 10:53
  You
• 10:53
  have
• 10:53
  to
• 10:53
  finish
• 10:54
  some
• 10:54
  things.
• 10:54
  You
• 10:54
  have
• 10:54
  to
• 10:55
  get
• 10:55
  it
• 10:55
  out
• 10:55
  there.
• 10:55
  That's
• 10:56
  why
• 10:56
  I
• 10:56
  chose
• 10:56
  the
• 10:56
  self
• 10:57
  publishing,
• 10:57
  because
• 10:57
  I
• 10:57
  said,
• 10:58
  and
• 10:58
  I
• 10:58
  did
• 10:58
  it
• 10:58
  through
• 10:59
  Amazon.
• 10:59
  Kdp,
• 11:00
  let
• 11:00
  me.
• 11:00
  Just
• 11:01
  let
• 11:01
  me.
• 11:01
  And
• 11:02
  I'm.
• 11:02
  I
• 11:02
  just
• 11:03
  felt
• 11:03
  that
• 11:03
  this
• 11:03
  was
• 11:03
  the
• 11:03
  best
• 11:04
  route
• 11:04
  at
• 11:04
  this
• 11:04
  time,
• 11:04
  just
• 11:05
  to
• 11:05
  get
• 11:05
  the
• 11:05
  idea
• 11:05
  out
• 11:05
  there,
• 11:06
  the
• 11:06
  book
• 11:06
  out
• 11:06
  there.
• 11:07
  But
• 11:07
  I'm,
• 11:08
  as
• 11:08
  I
• 11:08
  said,
• 11:08
  open
• 11:08
  to
• 11:09
  traditional
• 11:09
  publishing
• 11:10
  in
• 11:10
  the
• 11:10
  future
• 11:10
  or
• 11:11
  a
• 11:11
  hybrid
• 11:11
  model
• 11:11
  in
• 11:12
  the
• 11:12
  future,
• 11:12
  too.
• 11:13
  Fantastic.
• 11:14
  Yeah.
• 11:14
  And
• 11:15
  very
• 11:15
  much
• 11:15
  similar
• 11:16
  to
• 11:17
  your
• 11:17
  story.
• 11:18
  I've
• 11:18
  mentioned
• 11:19
  this
• 11:19
  once
• 11:19
  before
• 11:19
  in
• 11:20
  one
• 11:20
  of
• 11:20
  the
• 11:21
  podcast
• 11:21
  interviews
• 11:22
  I
• 11:22
  did.
• 11:23
  I,
• 11:24
  like
• 11:24
  a
• 11:24
  lot
• 11:24
  of
• 11:25
  people
• 11:25
  during
• 11:25
  COVID
• 11:26
  wrote
• 11:27
  a
• 11:27
  book,
• 11:27
  and
• 11:28
  it
• 11:28
  wasn't
• 11:29
  a
• 11:29
  children's
• 11:29
  book.
• 11:30
  I
• 11:30
  had
• 11:31
  a
• 11:31
  background
• 11:32
  in
• 11:32
  investment
• 11:33
  real
• 11:33
  estate.
• 11:34
  And
• 11:34
  during
• 11:35
  that
• 11:35
  time
• 11:36
  frame,
• 11:36
  I
• 11:37
  thought,
• 11:37
  I
• 11:37
  gotta
• 11:38
  get
• 11:38
  this
• 11:38
  book
• 11:38
  out
• 11:38
  of
• 11:39
  me.
• 11:39
  So
• 11:39
  I
• 11:40
  actually
• 11:40
  wrote
• 11:40
  two
• 11:40
  books
• 11:41
  during
• 11:42
  COVID
• 11:42
  So
• 11:43
  I
• 11:43
  was
• 11:43
  lucky
• 11:44
  because
• 11:44
  I
• 11:45
  got
• 11:45
  to
• 11:45
  test
• 11:46
  drive
• 11:46
  self
• 11:47
  publishing
• 11:47
  before
• 11:48
  I
• 11:48
  got
• 11:49
  around
• 11:49
  to
• 11:49
  actually
• 11:50
  publishing
• 11:51
  our
• 11:51
  children's
• 11:52
  book,
• 11:52
  which
• 11:52
  my
• 11:53
  youngest
• 11:53
  granddaughter
• 11:54
  and
• 11:54
  I
• 11:54
  had
• 11:55
  written
• 11:55
  before
• 11:56
  COVID
• 11:57
  We
• 11:57
  just
• 11:57
  didn't
• 11:58
  know
• 11:58
  how
• 11:58
  to
• 11:58
  bring
• 11:58
  it
• 11:58
  to
• 11:59
  life.
• 11:59
  It's
• 12:00
  not
• 12:00
  easy.
• 12:00
  It's.
• 12:01
  And
• 12:01
  I
• 12:01
  didn't
• 12:02
  have
• 12:02
  any
• 12:02
  advice.
• 12:02
  I
• 12:02
  didn't
• 12:03
  have
• 12:03
  anybody
• 12:03
  that's
• 12:03
  done
• 12:04
  it
• 12:04
  before
• 12:04
  me
• 12:04
  that
• 12:04
  I
• 12:05
  know.
• 12:05
  So
• 12:05
  I'm
• 12:05
  like,
• 12:05
  what
• 12:06
  do
• 12:06
  I
• 12:06
  do?
• 12:06
  I
• 12:07
  know.
• 12:07
  Isn't
• 12:07
  that
• 12:07
  the
• 12:08
  truth?
• 12:08
  And
• 12:09
  that
• 12:09
  leads
• 12:09
  me
• 12:09
  to
• 12:10
  my
• 12:10
  next
• 12:10
  question.
• 12:11
  And
• 12:11
  I'll
• 12:11
  explain
• 12:12
  a
• 12:12
  little
• 12:12
  bit
• 12:12
  why
• 12:13
  I'm
• 12:13
  asking
• 12:13
  you
• 12:14
  this.
• 12:14
  Maybe
• 12:15
  that'll
• 12:15
  give
• 12:15
  you
• 12:15
  a
• 12:15
  sense
• 12:16
  of
• 12:16
  what
• 12:16
  happened
• 12:17
  here.
• 12:17
  So
• 12:17
  I
• 12:18
  want
• 12:18
  to
• 12:18
  talk
• 12:18
  to
• 12:18
  you
• 12:18
  about.
• 12:19
  I
• 12:19
  noticed
• 12:20
  you
• 12:20
  don't
• 12:20
  have
• 12:20
  a
• 12:20
  website.
• 12:21
  Yes.
• 12:22
  And
• 12:22
  so
• 12:23
  I
• 12:23
  just
• 12:23
  want
• 12:23
  to
• 12:23
  talk
• 12:23
  to
• 12:23
  you
• 12:23
  a
• 12:24
  little
• 12:24
  bit
• 12:24
  about
• 12:24
  that
• 12:24
  and
• 12:25
  I'll
• 12:25
  tell
• 12:25
  you
• 12:25
  our
• 12:26
  story.
• 12:26
  So
• 12:27
  when
• 12:27
  we
• 12:28
  Decided
• 12:28
  to
• 12:28
  become
• 12:29
  to
• 12:30
  publish
• 12:30
  our
• 12:31
  children's
• 12:31
  book.
• 12:31
  My
• 12:32
  granddaughter
• 12:32
  and
• 12:32
  I,
• 12:33
  Kira,
• 12:34
  what
• 12:34
  we
• 12:34
  did
• 12:35
  is
• 12:35
  everybody
• 12:36
  advised
• 12:37
  us
• 12:37
  that
• 12:37
  you
• 12:37
  needed
• 12:38
  a
• 12:38
  home
• 12:39
  for
• 12:39
  your
• 12:39
  book
• 12:40
  in
• 12:40
  today's
• 12:41
  digital
• 12:41
  world.
• 12:42
  They
• 12:42
  said,
• 12:42
  you
• 12:42
  gotta
• 12:43
  have
• 12:43
  a
• 12:43
  website.
• 12:43
  You
• 12:43
  gotta
• 12:44
  have
• 12:44
  a
• 12:44
  website.
• 12:44
  And
• 12:45
  we
• 12:45
  thought,
• 12:45
  oh.
• 12:46
  But
• 12:47
  we
• 12:47
  were
• 12:47
  getting
• 12:47
  that
• 12:48
  advice
• 12:48
  later.
• 12:49
  We
• 12:49
  were
• 12:49
  almost
• 12:50
  through
• 12:51
  bringing
• 12:52
  our
• 12:52
  book
• 12:52
  to
• 12:52
  life
• 12:53
  and
• 12:54
  publishing
• 12:54
  it
• 12:55
  before
• 12:55
  we
• 12:55
  got
• 12:56
  that
• 12:56
  advice.
• 12:57
  So
• 12:57
  we
• 12:57
  thought,
• 12:58
  oh,
• 12:58
  we're
• 12:58
  gonna
• 12:58
  launch
• 12:59
  our
• 12:59
  book
• 13:00
  and
• 13:00
  then
• 13:00
  we'll
• 13:01
  think
• 13:01
  about
• 13:01
  a
• 13:01
  website.
• 13:02
  That's
• 13:03
  exactly
• 13:03
  what
• 13:03
  we
• 13:03
  did.
• 13:04
  Are
• 13:04
  you
• 13:04
  having
• 13:05
  the
• 13:05
  same
• 13:05
  thoughts
• 13:06
  right
• 13:06
  now?
• 13:07
  Yes.
• 13:07
  I
• 13:08
  didn't
• 13:08
  think
• 13:08
  about,
• 13:09
  as
• 13:09
  I
• 13:09
  said
• 13:10
  before,
• 13:10
  it
• 13:10
  was
• 13:10
  just,
• 13:11
  I
• 13:11
  want
• 13:11
  to
• 13:11
  get
• 13:11
  this
• 13:11
  book
• 13:11
  out
• 13:12
  there
• 13:12
  and
• 13:12
  then
• 13:12
  I.
• 13:13
  And
• 13:13
  everything
• 13:13
  else
• 13:14
  will
• 13:14
  follow
• 13:15
  just
• 13:15
  like,
• 13:15
  how
• 13:15
  do
• 13:16
  I
• 13:16
  just
• 13:16
  get
• 13:17
  the
• 13:17
  idea
• 13:17
  the
• 13:18
  book
• 13:18
  to
• 13:18
  be
• 13:19
  for
• 13:19
  people
• 13:19
  to
• 13:19
  know
• 13:19
  about
• 13:19
  it?
• 13:20
  And
• 13:20
  then
• 13:20
  now
• 13:20
  I'm
• 13:21
  thinking
• 13:21
  about
• 13:21
  a
• 13:21
  website
• 13:22
  because
• 13:22
  I
• 13:22
  know
• 13:22
  that
• 13:23
  would
• 13:23
  be
• 13:23
  really
• 13:23
  helpful
• 13:24
  and
• 13:24
  it
• 13:24
  would
• 13:25
  be,
• 13:25
  it
• 13:25
  would
• 13:25
  be
• 13:25
  great.
• 13:25
  And
• 13:26
  I
• 13:26
  said,
• 13:26
  even
• 13:26
  when
• 13:26
  I
• 13:26
  have
• 13:27
  other
• 13:27
  books,
• 13:27
  it'll
• 13:27
  be
• 13:27
  nice
• 13:27
  to
• 13:28
  have
• 13:28
  them
• 13:28
  all
• 13:28
  on
• 13:28
  the,
• 13:29
  on
• 13:29
  the
• 13:29
  website
• 13:30
  there
• 13:30
  for
• 13:30
  people
• 13:30
  to
• 13:31
  purchase
• 13:31
  directly
• 13:32
  from
• 13:32
  the
• 13:32
  website.
• 13:33
  But
• 13:33
  this
• 13:33
  was
• 13:33
  just,
• 13:34
  as
• 13:34
  I
• 13:34
  said
• 13:34
  before,
• 13:35
  just,
• 13:35
  I
• 13:36
  wanted
• 13:36
  the
• 13:36
  book
• 13:36
  out
• 13:36
  there
• 13:37
  and
• 13:37
  I
• 13:37
  wanted
• 13:37
  to
• 13:38
  people
• 13:38
  to
• 13:38
  know
• 13:38
  about
• 13:39
  it.
• 13:39
  And
• 13:39
  I
• 13:39
  just
• 13:39
  was,
• 13:40
  I
• 13:40
  didn't
• 13:40
  have
• 13:40
  really
• 13:41
  any
• 13:42
  advice
• 13:42
  until
• 13:43
  after
• 13:43
  the
• 13:43
  book
• 13:43
  was
• 13:43
  out
• 13:43
  there.
• 13:44
  That's
• 13:44
  funny
• 13:44
  how
• 13:45
  advice
• 13:45
  comes
• 13:45
  forward.
• 13:47
  It
• 13:47
  actually
• 13:47
  comes
• 13:48
  rushing
• 13:49
  in
• 13:49
  like
• 13:49
  a
• 13:49
  waterfall.
• 13:50
  Right.
• 13:51
  All
• 13:51
  of
• 13:51
  a
• 13:51
  sudden
• 13:51
  you're
• 13:52
  going,
• 13:52
  where
• 13:52
  were
• 13:53
  you
• 13:53
  before
• 13:53
  I
• 13:54
  got
• 13:54
  my
• 13:54
  book
• 13:55
  published?
• 13:55
  Yes.
• 13:56
  I'm
• 13:56
  so
• 13:56
  appreciative
• 13:57
  of
• 13:57
  friends
• 13:58
  and
• 13:58
  just
• 13:58
  even
• 13:59
  some
• 13:59
  people
• 14:00
  that
• 14:00
  are
• 14:00
  friends
• 14:00
  of
• 14:01
  mine
• 14:01
  or
• 14:01
  I've
• 14:01
  known
• 14:02
  them
• 14:02
  in
• 14:02
  the
• 14:02
  past
• 14:02
  where
• 14:03
  we're
• 14:03
  like,
• 14:03
  wow,
• 14:03
  I,
• 14:04
  I
• 14:04
  read
• 14:04
  your
• 14:04
  book
• 14:05
  and
• 14:05
  I
• 14:05
  have
• 14:05
  some
• 14:05
  ideas
• 14:06
  and
• 14:06
  I'm
• 14:06
  like,
• 14:06
  okay,
• 14:07
  great.
• 14:07
  Thank
• 14:07
  you.
• 14:08
  Fantastic.
• 14:08
  Tanya,
• 14:09
  I'm
• 14:10
  just
• 14:10
  going
• 14:10
  to
• 14:10
  tell
• 14:10
  you
• 14:10
  our
• 14:11
  story.
• 14:11
  It's
• 14:11
  not
• 14:12
  advice
• 14:13
  one
• 14:13
  way
• 14:13
  or
• 14:13
  the
• 14:13
  other,
• 14:14
  but
• 14:14
  I
• 14:14
  will
• 14:15
  tell
• 14:15
  you
• 14:15
  what
• 14:16
  I've
• 14:16
  heard
• 14:17
  so
• 14:17
  far
• 14:17
  because
• 14:17
  I,
• 14:18
  I
• 14:18
  ask
• 14:19
  if
• 14:19
  you
• 14:19
  had
• 14:19
  a
• 14:20
  website,
• 14:20
  I'd
• 14:20
  ask
• 14:21
  you,
• 14:21
  Tanya,
• 14:21
  why
• 14:22
  did
• 14:22
  you
• 14:23
  make
• 14:23
  the
• 14:24
  website
• 14:25
  in
• 14:25
  your
• 14:25
  name?
• 14:26
  Or
• 14:26
  I'll
• 14:27
  ask
• 14:27
  you,
• 14:27
  Tanya,
• 14:28
  why
• 14:29
  did
• 14:29
  you
• 14:30
  make
• 14:31
  the
• 14:31
  website
• 14:32
  in
• 14:32
  the
• 14:33
  name
• 14:33
  of
• 14:33
  your
• 14:34
  main
• 14:34
  character
• 14:34
  or
• 14:35
  your
• 14:35
  book
• 14:35
  series?
• 14:36
  So
• 14:36
  that's
• 14:37
  how
• 14:37
  it
• 14:37
  would
• 14:37
  go.
• 14:38
  So
• 14:38
  in
• 14:39
  your
• 14:39
  case,
• 14:40
  the
• 14:40
  beautiful
• 14:40
  thing
• 14:41
  about
• 14:41
  it,
• 14:41
  you
• 14:41
  have
• 14:41
  two
• 14:42
  options.
• 14:42
  You
• 14:42
  have,
• 14:43
  if
• 14:44
  you've
• 14:44
  got
• 14:44
  books
• 14:44
  that
• 14:45
  are
• 14:45
  going
• 14:45
  to
• 14:45
  be.
• 14:46
  Not
• 14:46
  have
• 14:46
  the
• 14:46
  same
• 14:47
  main
• 14:47
  character,
• 14:48
  you
• 14:48
  may
• 14:49
  say,
• 14:49
  I've
• 14:49
  got
• 14:49
  a
• 14:49
  whole
• 14:50
  bunch
• 14:50
  of
• 14:50
  book
• 14:50
  ideas.
• 14:51
  So
• 14:51
  I
• 14:51
  think
• 14:51
  I'll
• 14:52
  do
• 14:52
  it.
• 14:52
  I.
• 14:52
  I'll
• 14:53
  put
• 14:53
  it
• 14:53
  in
• 14:53
  my
• 14:53
  name,
• 14:54
  your
• 14:54
  author's
• 14:55
  name,
• 14:55
  or
• 14:55
  you
• 14:55
  might
• 14:56
  Say
• 14:56
  I
• 14:56
  have
• 14:56
  a
• 14:56
  book
• 14:57
  series.
• 14:57
  I'm
• 14:58
  going
• 14:58
  to
• 14:58
  create
• 14:58
  the
• 14:59
  website
• 14:59
  based
• 14:59
  around
• 15:00
  the
• 15:00
  book
• 15:00
  series.
• 15:01
  We
• 15:01
  actually
• 15:01
  wrote
• 15:02
  38
• 15:03
  children's
• 15:04
  books
• 15:04
  in
• 15:04
  our
• 15:05
  book
• 15:05
  series.
• 15:05
  Unfortunately
• 15:06
  that
• 15:07
  being
• 15:07
  a
• 15:07
  self
• 15:08
  publisher
• 15:08
  this,
• 15:09
  it's
• 15:09
  not
• 15:10
  inexpensive
• 15:10
  to
• 15:11
  do
• 15:11
  this.
• 15:11
  Exactly.
• 15:12
  Just
• 15:12
  so
• 15:13
  you
• 15:13
  know,
• 15:13
  that's
• 15:13
  what
• 15:14
  we
• 15:14
  ended
• 15:15
  ended
• 15:15
  up
• 15:16
  doing
• 15:16
  is
• 15:16
  we
• 15:17
  still
• 15:17
  had
• 15:17
  this
• 15:18
  large
• 15:19
  vision
• 15:19
  of
• 15:20
  eventually
• 15:20
  having
• 15:21
  a
• 15:21
  book
• 15:21
  series.
• 15:22
  A
• 15:22
  book.
• 15:23
  So
• 15:23
  we
• 15:23
  created
• 15:23
  a
• 15:23
  website
• 15:24
  and
• 15:24
  it's
• 15:24
  called
• 15:25
  Caboose,
• 15:25
  the

  Rocky

  Mountain

  Bear.
• 15:27
  Com.
• 15:27
  That's
• 15:28
  what
• 15:28
  we
• 15:28
  did.
• 15:28
  I
• 15:28
  just
• 15:28
  throw
• 15:29
  that
• 15:29
  out
• 15:29
  to
• 15:29
  you
• 15:30
  because
• 15:30
  if
• 15:30
  you're
• 15:31
  formulating
• 15:32
  thoughts
• 15:32
  in
• 15:32
  your
• 15:32
  head,
• 15:33
  the
• 15:33
  other
• 15:34
  thing
• 15:34
  I'll
• 15:34
  just
• 15:35
  say
• 15:35
  just
• 15:36
  again
• 15:37
  for
• 15:38
  what
• 15:38
  happened
• 15:39
  to
• 15:39
  us
• 15:39
  is
• 15:40
  the
• 15:40
  nice
• 15:40
  thing
• 15:40
  about
• 15:41
  actually
• 15:41
  doing
• 15:42
  the
• 15:42
  book
• 15:42
  in
• 15:42
  advance
• 15:43
  of
• 15:43
  creating
• 15:43
  the
• 15:44
  website
• 15:44
  is
• 15:45
  again
• 15:45
  you
• 15:46
  have
• 15:46
  to
• 15:46
  pay
• 15:46
  a
• 15:46
  designer,
• 15:47
  if
• 15:47
  you're
• 15:47
  not
• 15:48
  a
• 15:48
  website
• 15:48
  designer
• 15:50
  for
• 15:50
  all
• 15:51
  the
• 15:51
  graphics
• 15:51
  that
• 15:52
  are
• 15:52
  going
• 15:52
  to
• 15:53
  populate
• 15:53
  your
• 15:54
  pages.
• 15:54
  So
• 15:55
  guess
• 15:55
  what
• 15:55
  we
• 15:55
  did.
• 15:55
  We
• 15:56
  used
• 15:56
  some
• 15:56
  of
• 15:57
  our
• 15:57
  book,
• 15:57
  our
• 15:58
  original
• 15:58
  book
• 15:59
  as
• 16:00
  the
• 16:00
  graphics
• 16:01
  for
• 16:01
  our
• 16:02
  website.
• 16:02
  So
• 16:02
  it
• 16:03
  just
• 16:03
  kept
• 16:03
  the
• 16:03
  cost
• 16:04
  down
• 16:04
  a
• 16:04
  bit
• 16:05
  of
• 16:05
  putting
• 16:05
  a
• 16:06
  website
• 16:06
  together.
• 16:07
  Again,
• 16:07
  just
• 16:08
  offering
• 16:08
  that
• 16:08
  out
• 16:09
  to
• 16:09
  you.
• 16:09
  Thank
• 16:10
  you
• 16:10
  and
• 16:10
  thank
• 16:10
  you
• 16:10
  for
• 16:10
  that
• 16:11
  advice
• 16:11
  because
• 16:12
  knowing
• 16:12
  what
• 16:12
  to
• 16:12
  title
• 16:13
  the
• 16:13
  website
• 16:14
  I
• 16:14
  it
• 16:14
  probably,
• 16:15
  I,
• 16:15
  I
• 16:16
  just
• 16:16
  will
• 16:16
  say
• 16:16
  this
• 16:16
  is,
• 16:17
  it
• 16:17
  will
• 16:17
  probably
• 16:17
  be
• 16:18
  in
• 16:18
  my
• 16:18
  name
• 16:18
  in
• 16:18
  the
• 16:19
  future
• 16:19
  because
• 16:20
  other
• 16:20
  book
• 16:20
  ideas
• 16:21
  I
• 16:21
  have
• 16:22
  are
• 16:22
  separate
• 16:22
  from
• 16:23
  money
• 16:23
  time
• 16:23
  and
• 16:23
  different
• 16:24
  from
• 16:24
  money
• 16:24
  time.
• 16:25
  And
• 16:25
  it's
• 16:25
  not
• 16:26
  so
• 16:26
  much
• 16:26
  I
• 16:26
  don't
• 16:26
  see
• 16:27
  money
• 16:27
  time
• 16:27
  being
• 16:27
  so
• 16:27
  much
• 16:27
  of
• 16:27
  a
• 16:28
  series.
• 16:28
  It's
• 16:29
  more
• 16:29
  that
• 16:29
  I
• 16:29
  just
• 16:29
  have
• 16:30
  some
• 16:30
  additional
• 16:30
  ideas.
• 16:31
  So
• 16:31
  good
• 16:32
  with
• 16:32
  you.
• 16:32
  You're

  than

  several

  different

  that
• 16:59
  aren't

  a

  She's

  her

  website

  denise

  caesar.com.
• 17:03
  i

  just
• 17:04
  actually
• 17:05
  had
• 17:05
  an
• 17:05
  author
• 17:06
  who's
• 17:07

  Pennsylvania,

  she's
• 17:09
  a

  her

  it's
• 17:12
  Aaron
• 17:13

  Books

  So

  just
• 17:15
  so
• 17:15
  you
• 17:16
  know
• 17:16
  to
• 17:16
  give
• 17:16
  you
• 17:17
  that.
• 17:17
  And
• 17:17
  then
• 17:18
  I
• 17:18
  interviewed
• 17:18
  a
• 17:19
  gal
• 17:19
  from,
• 17:20
  from
• 17:20
  California

  some

• 17:30
  hopefully
• 17:30
  the
• 17:31
  audience
• 17:31
  is
• 17:31
  thinking
• 17:32
  okay,

  what,
• 17:33
  what's
• 17:33
  going
• 17:33
  on
• 17:33
  here?
• 17:34
  Again,
• 17:34
  I
• 17:35
  always
• 17:35
  like
• 17:36
  to
• 17:36
  find

  about
• 17:37
  websites

• 17:41
  by
• 17:42
  sharing
• 17:43
  our
• 17:43
  con.
• 17:44
  Hopefully
• 17:45
  aspiring
• 17:46
  authors
• 17:47
  say
• 17:47
  ah,
• 17:48
  they've
• 17:48
  given
• 17:49
  me
• 17:49
  some
• 17:49
  thoughts
• 17:49
  to
• 17:50
  Think
• 17:50
  about.
• 17:50
  Absolutely.
• 17:51
  I,
• 17:51
  I
• 17:51
  have
• 17:51
  to
• 17:52
  say
• 17:52
  too,
• 17:52
  if
• 17:52
  anyone
• 17:53
  has
• 17:53
  an
• 17:53
  idea
• 17:54
  to
• 17:54
  that
• 17:54
  they'd
• 17:55
  like
• 17:55
  to
• 17:55
  get
• 17:55
  out
• 17:55
  there.
• 17:56
  I
• 17:56
  was
• 17:56
  as
• 17:57
  I
• 17:57
  said,
• 17:57
  brand
• 17:58
  new.
• 17:58
  I
• 17:59
  still
• 17:59
  am.
• 17:59
  I
• 18:00
  just
• 18:00
  happened
• 18:01
  to
• 18:01
  do
• 18:01
  some
• 18:01
  research
• 18:02
  and
• 18:03
  I
• 18:03
  just
• 18:03
  happened
• 18:03
  to
• 18:03
  get
• 18:03
  it
• 18:03
  out
• 18:04
  there
• 18:04
  and
• 18:04
  that
• 18:04
  I
• 18:05
  just,
• 18:05
  I,
• 18:05
  I
• 18:05
  give
• 18:06
  anybody
• 18:06
  who
• 18:06
  has
• 18:06
  an
• 18:06
  idea,
• 18:07
  who
• 18:07
  wants
• 18:07
  to
• 18:08
  put
• 18:08
  it
• 18:08
  forth
• 18:08
  into
• 18:09
  the
• 18:09
  world,
• 18:09
  I
• 18:10
  just
• 18:10
  say
• 18:10
  go
• 18:10
  for
• 18:10
  it.
• 18:11
  Because
• 18:11
  that's
• 18:11
  what
• 18:11
  I,
• 18:11
  that's
• 18:11
  what
• 18:12
  I
• 18:12
  did.
• 18:12
  I
• 18:12
  don't
• 18:12
  do
• 18:12
  that
• 18:13
  all
• 18:13
  the
• 18:13
  time.
• 18:13
  So
• 18:14
  Kapha,
• 18:14
  tell
• 18:14
  us
• 18:15
  about
• 18:15
  that
• 18:15
  motivation.
• 18:16
  So
• 18:16
  did
• 18:17
  a
• 18:17
  specific
• 18:18
  person
• 18:18
  or
• 18:19
  event
• 18:20
  motivate
• 18:20
  you
• 18:21
  to
• 18:21
  write
• 18:21
  your
• 18:22
  children's
• 18:22
  book?
• 18:23
  I
• 18:23
  do
• 18:23
  think
• 18:23
  that
• 18:24
  I
• 18:24
  guess
• 18:24
  I
• 18:25
  would
• 18:25
  say
• 18:25
  I,
• 18:26
  I
• 18:26
  subconsciously
• 18:27
  would
• 18:27
  say.
• 18:27
  Cause
• 18:27
  I
• 18:28
  can't
• 18:28
  say
• 18:28
  I
• 18:28
  had
• 18:29
  these
• 18:29
  different
• 18:29
  ideas
• 18:30
  for
• 18:30
  a
• 18:30
  while.
• 18:31
  I
• 18:31
  have
• 18:31
  another
• 18:31
  idea
• 18:32
  that
• 18:32
  came
• 18:32
  before
• 18:33
  money
• 18:33
  time
• 18:34
  that
• 18:34
  is
• 18:34
  still
• 18:35
  not
• 18:35
  out
• 18:35
  there
• 18:35
  yet.
• 18:35
  But
• 18:36
  that
• 18:36
  was
• 18:36
  even
• 18:36
  before
• 18:36
  this.
• 18:37
  I
• 18:37
  think
• 18:37
  my
• 18:37
  son
• 18:38
  was
• 18:38
  my
• 18:39
  inspiration
• 18:39
  because
• 18:40
  I
• 18:41
  felt
• 18:41
  when
• 18:41
  I
• 18:41
  was
• 18:41
  reading,
• 18:42
  consistently
• 18:43
  reading
• 18:43
  children's
• 18:43
  books
• 18:44
  with
• 18:44
  him,
• 18:44
  I
• 18:44
  said
• 18:45
  I
• 18:45
  want
• 18:45
  to
• 18:45
  do
• 18:45
  this,
• 18:45
  I
• 18:46
  could
• 18:46
  do
• 18:46
  this
• 18:46
  too.
• 18:46
  And
• 18:47
  that
• 18:47
  I
• 18:48
  would
• 18:48
  say
• 18:48
  it's
• 18:48
  him
• 18:48
  because
• 18:49
  it
• 18:49
  was
• 18:49
  only
• 18:50
  until
• 18:50
  after
• 18:50
  he
• 18:50
  was
• 18:51
  born
• 18:51
  that
• 18:51
  I
• 18:51
  actually
• 18:51
  put
• 18:52
  this
• 18:52
  idea
• 18:52
  out
• 18:52
  to
• 18:52
  the
• 18:53
  world.
• 18:53
  Okay.
• 18:54
  And
• 18:54
  so
• 18:54
  the
• 18:55
  other
• 18:55
  idea
• 18:56
  is
• 18:57
  you
• 18:57
  said
• 18:58
  you,
• 18:58
  you've
• 18:59
  put
• 18:59
  that
• 18:59
  on
• 18:59
  the
• 18:59
  shelf
• 19:00
  for
• 19:00
  a
• 19:00
  bit
• 19:00
  as
• 19:01
  you
• 19:01
  formulated
• 19:02
  this.
• 19:02
  So
• 19:03
  that
• 19:03
  motivation's
• 19:04
  different.
• 19:04
  I'm.
• 19:05
  What
• 19:06
  happened
• 19:06
  with
• 19:06
  that
• 19:06
  book
• 19:06
  was
• 19:07
  it
• 19:07
  changed.
• 19:08
  It
• 19:09
  was
• 19:09
  one,
• 19:09
  it
• 19:10
  became
• 19:10
  something
• 19:10
  different.
• 19:11
  I
• 19:11
  had
• 19:11
  an
• 19:12
  idea
• 19:12
  for
• 19:12
  it
• 19:12
  in
• 19:12
  the
• 19:12
  beginning.
• 19:13
  I
• 19:13
  thought
• 19:13
  it
• 19:13
  was
• 19:13
  going
• 19:14
  in
• 19:14
  one
• 19:14
  direction
• 19:15
  and
• 19:15
  then
• 19:15
  it
• 19:15
  started
• 19:16
  to
• 19:16
  change.
• 19:16
  So
• 19:17
  I,
• 19:17
  and
• 19:17
  now
• 19:18
  I
• 19:18
  have
• 19:18
  it
• 19:18
  written
• 19:19
  and
• 19:19
  I
• 19:19
  have
• 19:19
  to,
• 19:19
  I
• 19:19
  want
• 19:20
  to
• 19:20
  put
• 19:20
  it
• 19:20
  forth
• 19:20
  also
• 19:20
  into
• 19:21
  the
• 19:21
  world.
• 19:21
  But
• 19:22
  it
• 19:22
  took
• 19:22
  me
• 19:22
  a
• 19:22
  little
• 19:23
  while
• 19:23
  to
• 19:24
  complete
• 19:24
  it
• 19:24
  with
• 19:24
  money
• 19:25
  time.
• 19:25
  For
• 19:25
  some
• 19:25
  reason
• 19:26
  in
• 19:26
  one
• 19:26
  evening,
• 19:27
  it
• 19:27
  just
• 19:27
  was
• 19:27
  finished.
• 19:28
  So
• 19:29
  that's
• 19:29
  why
• 19:30
  I
• 19:30
  just
• 19:30
  the
• 19:30
  actual
• 19:31
  words,
• 19:31
  I'm
• 19:31
  like,
• 19:31
  okay,
• 19:31
  I
• 19:32
  have
• 19:32
  it
• 19:32
  done.
• 19:32
  But
• 19:33
  the
• 19:33
  other
• 19:33
  one
• 19:33
  needed
• 19:33
  a
• 19:34
  little
• 19:34
  bit
• 19:34
  more
• 19:34
  tweaking
• 19:35
  and
• 19:35
  time.
• 19:36
  On
• 19:36
  one
• 19:37
  of
• 19:37
  our
• 19:37
  recent
• 19:37
  episodes,
• 19:38
  the
• 19:39
  author
• 19:39
  had
• 19:40
  a
• 19:40
  eureka
• 19:41
  moment.
• 19:41
  She
• 19:42
  woke
• 19:42
  up
• 19:42
  in
• 19:43
  the
• 19:43
  middle
• 19:43
  of
• 19:43
  the
• 19:43
  night
• 19:44
  and
• 19:44
  had
• 19:45
  her
• 19:45
  phone
• 19:46
  like
• 19:46
  you
• 19:46
  were
• 19:47
  talking
• 19:47
  about
• 19:47
  with
• 19:47
  your
• 19:48
  phone
• 19:48
  beside
• 19:49
  her.
• 19:49
  And
• 19:49
  she
• 19:50
  wrote
• 19:50
  the
• 19:50
  whole
• 19:51
  book.
• 19:51
  It
• 19:51
  just
• 19:52
  came
• 19:52
  spilling
• 19:52
  out
• 19:53
  of
• 19:53
  her.
• 19:53
  And
• 19:54
  then
• 19:54
  it
• 19:55
  was
• 19:55
  very
• 19:55
  early
• 19:56
  in
• 19:56
  the
• 19:56
  morning,
• 19:56
  she
• 19:57
  shook
• 19:57
  her
• 19:57
  husband
• 19:58
  awake
• 19:59
  to
• 19:59
  read
• 19:59
  him
• 19:59
  the
• 20:00
  book.
• 20:00
  And
• 20:00
  he
• 20:00
  loved
• 20:01
  it.
• 20:01
  Scared.
• 20:02
  You
• 20:02
  know
• 20:02
  what?
• 20:03
  It's
• 20:03
  pretty
• 20:04
  incredible
• 20:04
  how
• 20:05
  sometimes
• 20:05
  it
• 20:05
  just
• 20:06
  flows
• 20:06
  out
• 20:06
  of
• 20:06
  you
• 20:07
  and
• 20:07
  then
• 20:07
  sometimes
• 20:08
  you
• 20:09
  have
• 20:09
  to
• 20:09
  let
• 20:10
  it
• 20:10
  ferment
• 20:11
  like
• 20:11
  fine
• 20:12
  wine.
• 20:12
  Very
• 20:13
  true.
• 20:13
  And
• 20:13
  I
• 20:14
  have
• 20:14
  a
• 20:14
  very
• 20:14
  supportive
• 20:15
  family.
• 20:15
  My
• 20:15
  mother,
• 20:16
  my
• 20:16
  father,
• 20:16
  my
• 20:17
  brother,
• 20:17
  my
• 20:17
  sister
• 20:18
  in
• 20:18
  law,
• 20:18
  my
• 20:18
  husband
• 20:19
  Everybody
• 20:20
  who
• 20:20
  I
• 20:20
  reached
• 20:20
  out
• 20:20
  to
• 20:20
  about
• 20:21
  the
• 20:21
  book
• 20:21
  before
• 20:22
  it
• 20:22
  was
• 20:22
  anything,
• 20:22
  they
• 20:22
  were
• 20:23
  like,
• 20:23
  this
• 20:23
  isn't.
• 20:23
  You're
• 20:24
  an
• 20:24
  author.
• 20:24
  This
• 20:24
  is
• 20:24
  a
• 20:25
  book.
• 20:25
  It
• 20:25
  was
• 20:25
  great
• 20:25
  too.
• 20:26
  It
• 20:26
  was
• 20:26
  motivation
• 20:27
  for
• 20:27
  me
• 20:27
  too.
• 20:27
  Nice
• 20:28
  to
• 20:28
  have
• 20:28
  cheerleaders.
• 20:29
  Yes.
• 20:30
  That's
• 20:30
  what
• 20:30
  I'm
• 20:31
  very
• 20:31
  fortunate.
• 20:31
  I
• 20:32
  have
• 20:32
  five
• 20:33
  grandchildren
• 20:34
  who
• 20:34
  are
• 20:34
  all
• 20:34
  cheerleaders.
• 20:35
  Four
• 20:36
  of
• 20:36
  them
• 20:36
  are
• 20:37
  narrators
• 20:38
  because
• 20:39
  we've
• 20:39
  actually
• 20:40
  recorded
• 20:41
  most
• 20:41
  of
• 20:41
  our
• 20:41
  books
• 20:42
  in
• 20:42
  audio
• 20:43
  format.
• 20:44
  I'm
• 20:44
  curious
• 20:45
  too
• 20:45
  about
• 20:46
  your
• 20:46
  book.
• 20:47
  Some
• 20:47
  people
• 20:48
  develop
• 20:49
  a
• 20:49
  book,
• 20:49
  it
• 20:50
  is
• 20:51
  around
• 20:51
  a
• 20:51
  character,
• 20:52
  but
• 20:52
  I
• 20:52
  noticed
• 20:53
  you
• 20:53
  have
• 20:53
  the
• 20:53
  character,
• 20:54
  but
• 20:55
  the
• 20:55
  character
• 20:56
  doesn't
• 20:56
  have
• 20:57
  a
• 20:57
  name.
• 20:58
  And
• 20:59
  so
• 20:59
  I'm
• 21:00
  curious
• 21:00
  about
• 21:00
  a
• 21:01
  couple
• 21:01
  of
• 21:01
  things.
• 21:02
  How
• 21:02
  did
• 21:02
  you
• 21:02
  develop
• 21:03
  your
• 21:03
  main
• 21:03
  character?
• 21:04
  I
• 21:04
  noticed
• 21:05
  he
• 21:05
  doesn't
• 21:06
  have
• 21:06
  a
• 21:06
  name.
• 21:07
  Can
• 21:07
  you
• 21:07
  explain
• 21:08
  to
• 21:08
  us
• 21:08
  the
• 21:08
  significance
• 21:09
  of
• 21:10
  using
• 21:10
  this
• 21:10
  technique
• 21:11
  where
• 21:11
  you
• 21:12
  have
• 21:12
  a
• 21:12
  main
• 21:12
  character
• 21:13
  but
• 21:13
  no
• 21:14
  name?
• 21:14
  Yes.
• 21:15
  I
• 21:15
  wanted
• 21:16
  the
• 21:17
  book
• 21:17
  to
• 21:17
  be
• 21:18
  anyone
• 21:18
  who
• 21:18
  read
• 21:19
  it
• 21:19
  to
• 21:19
  be
• 21:19
  able
• 21:19
  to
• 21:19
  put
• 21:19
  themselves
• 21:20
  in
• 21:20
  the
• 21:20
  character's
• 21:20
  shoes.
• 21:21
  So
• 21:22
  instead
• 21:22
  of
• 21:22
  giving
• 21:22
  the
• 21:23
  character
• 21:23
  a
• 21:23
  name,
• 21:23
  it's
• 21:24
  almost
• 21:24
  like
• 21:24
  any.
• 21:24
  It's
• 21:25
  written
• 21:25
  in
• 21:25
  a
• 21:25
  way
• 21:25
  that
• 21:26
  anybody
• 21:27
  can
• 21:27
  apply
• 21:28
  it
• 21:28
  to
• 21:28
  their
• 21:28
  life.
• 21:29
  So
• 21:29
  I
• 21:30
  also,
• 21:30
  in
• 21:30
  the
• 21:30
  book,
• 21:31
  this
• 21:31
  is
• 21:31
  just
• 21:31
  getting
• 21:31
  into
• 21:31
  a
• 21:32
  little
• 21:32
  bit
• 21:32
  more
• 21:32
  of
• 21:32
  the
• 21:32
  content
• 21:32
  of
• 21:33
  the
• 21:33
  book.
• 21:33
  I
• 21:33
  gave
• 21:33
  ideas
• 21:34
  and
• 21:34
  suggestions
• 21:34
  on
• 21:35
  what
• 21:35
  to
• 21:35
  do
• 21:35
  with
• 21:35
  time,
• 21:35
  but
• 21:36
  it
• 21:36
  was
• 21:36
  almost
• 21:36
  like
• 21:36
  leaving
• 21:37
  it
• 21:37
  very
• 21:37
  open
• 21:37
  ended
• 21:38
  so
• 21:38
  that
• 21:39
  children
• 21:39
  can
• 21:39
  think
• 21:39
  about
• 21:40
  what
• 21:40
  they
• 21:40
  want
• 21:40
  to
• 21:41
  do
• 21:41
  with
• 21:41
  their
• 21:41
  time
• 21:41
  and
• 21:41
  how
• 21:42
  they
• 21:42
  want
• 21:42
  to
• 21:42
  spend
• 21:42
  it.
• 21:43
  So
• 21:43
  that
• 21:43
  was.
• 21:44
  I
• 21:44
  wanted
• 21:44
  it
• 21:44
  to
• 21:44
  be
• 21:45
  just
• 21:45
  a
• 21:46
  way
• 21:46
  for
• 21:46
  children
• 21:47
  to
• 21:47
  think.
• 21:48
  And
• 21:48
  so
• 21:49
  that's
• 21:49
  why
• 21:49
  I
• 21:49
  wanted
• 21:50
  the
• 21:50
  character
• 21:50
  to
• 21:50
  almost
• 21:50
  be
• 21:51
  like
• 21:51
  you
• 21:51
  could
• 21:51
  place
• 21:51
  yourself
• 21:52
  right
• 21:52
  in
• 21:52
  that,
• 21:52
  right
• 21:53
  on
• 21:53
  that
• 21:53
  page
• 21:53
  and
• 21:53
  you're
• 21:54
  the
• 21:54
  character.
• 21:54
  Thank
• 21:55
  you
• 21:55
  for
• 21:55
  sharing
• 21:55
  that.
• 21:56
  Because
• 21:56
  that's
• 21:56
  a
• 21:56
  technique
• 21:57
  that
• 21:58
  aspiring
• 21:59
  authors
• 21:59
  can
• 21:59
  use.
• 22:00
  And
• 22:00
  also
• 22:01
  for
• 22:01
  our
• 22:01
  readers,
• 22:02
  they
• 22:03
  might
• 22:03
  be
• 22:03
  motivated
• 22:04
  to
• 22:04
  say,
• 22:05
  wow,
• 22:05
  Tanya's
• 22:06
  written
• 22:07
  a
• 22:07
  book
• 22:07
  where
• 22:07
  I
• 22:08
  can
• 22:08
  actually
• 22:09
  be
• 22:09
  the
• 22:09
  main
• 22:10
  character.
• 22:11
  So
• 22:12
  terrific.
• 22:12
  Very
• 22:13
  unique
• 22:14
  technique.
• 22:14
  Thank
• 22:15
  you.
• 22:15
  You're
• 22:15
  more
• 22:16
  than
• 22:16
  welcome.
• 22:16
  I
• 22:17
  also
• 22:17
  noticed
• 22:17
  in
• 22:18
  your
• 22:18
  book
• 22:18
  that
• 22:19
  you
• 22:19
  actually
• 22:20
  transitioned
• 22:21
  a
• 22:21
  bit
• 22:21
  in
• 22:22
  that
• 22:22
  you
• 22:22
  introduced
• 22:23
  it
• 22:24
  later
• 22:24
  in
• 22:24
  the
• 22:24
  book.
• 22:25
  An
• 22:25
  adult.
• 22:26
  Yes.
• 22:26
  Again,
• 22:27
  just
• 22:28
  so
• 22:28
  for
• 22:28
  aspiring
• 22:29
  authors
• 22:30
  or
• 22:30
  for
• 22:30
  the
• 22:30
  readers,
• 22:31
  explain
• 22:32
  to
• 22:32
  us
• 22:32
  this
• 22:33
  transitioning.
• 22:34
  Transition
• 22:35
  to
• 22:35
  an
• 22:35
  adult.
• 22:36
  So
• 22:37
  with
• 22:37
  the
• 22:37
  concept
• 22:38
  of
• 22:38
  time
• 22:38
  management
• 22:39
  every.
• 22:39
  I
• 22:39
  feel
• 22:40
  that
• 22:40
  we
• 22:40
  all,
• 22:40
  including
• 22:41
  myself,
• 22:42
  still,
• 22:42
  even
• 22:43
  though
• 22:43
  I
• 22:43
  wrote
• 22:43
  this,
• 22:43
  I
• 22:44
  don't
• 22:44
  have
• 22:44
  all
• 22:44
  the
• 22:44
  attention
• 22:45
  time
• 22:45
  management.
• 22:46
  But
• 22:46
  I
• 22:46
  was
• 22:46
  thinking
• 22:47
  about
• 22:47
  how
• 22:48
  adults
• 22:48
  who
• 22:49
  are
• 22:49
  reading
• 22:49
  the
• 22:49
  book
• 22:49
  to
• 22:49
  their
• 22:50
  children
• 22:50
  could
• 22:51
  also
• 22:51
  use
• 22:51
  it
• 22:51
  for
• 22:52
  their
• 22:52
  lives
• 22:52
  or
• 22:52
  have
• 22:53
  it
• 22:53
  as
• 22:53
  an.
• 22:53
  Just
• 22:53
  an
• 22:54
  idea
• 22:54
  in
• 22:54
  the
• 22:54
  back
• 22:54
  of
• 22:54
  their
• 22:54
  minds
• 22:55
  of
• 22:55
  what
• 22:55
  to
• 22:55
  know
• 22:56
  what
• 22:56
  to
• 22:56
  do
• 22:56
  with
• 22:56
  their
• 22:56
  time.
• 22:57
  I
• 22:57
  thought
• 22:57
  it
• 22:57
  would.
• 22:57
  It
• 22:58
  could
• 22:58
  just
• 22:58
  apply
• 22:58
  to
• 22:59
  anybody,
• 22:59
  really.
• 23:00
  Almost
• 23:00
  anyone.
• 23:00
  So
• 23:01
  that's
• 23:01
  where
• 23:01
  I
• 23:01
  transitioned
• 23:02
  into
• 23:02
  why
• 23:03
  I
• 23:03
  transitioned
• 23:03
  to.
• 23:03
  Into
• 23:04
  an
• 23:04
  adult
• 23:04
  reading.
• 23:04
  This
• 23:05
  could
• 23:05
  actually
• 23:05
  say,
• 23:05
  wow,
• 23:05
  okay,
• 23:06
  that's
• 23:06
  true.
• 23:07
  Fantastic.
• 23:07
  Because
• 23:08
  I
• 23:08
  do
• 23:08
  envision
• 23:09
  that
• 23:09
  someone
• 23:10
  sits
• 23:10
  down
• 23:11
  with
• 23:11
  their
• 23:11
  child
• 23:12
  and
• 23:12
  then
• 23:12
  all
• 23:13
  of
• 23:13
  a
• 23:13
  sudd.
• 23:14
  I
• 23:14
  love
• 23:14
  the
• 23:14
  technique.
• 23:15
  Thank
• 23:16
  you.
• 23:16
  You
• 23:16
  transition
• 23:17
  where
• 23:17
  now
• 23:18
  it's
• 23:18
  not
• 23:18
  only
• 23:18
  the
• 23:19
  child
• 23:19
  seeing
• 23:20
  themselves.
• 23:21
  Now
• 23:21
  all
• 23:21
  of
• 23:21
  a
• 23:21
  sudden,
• 23:22
  the
• 23:22
  mom,
• 23:23
  the
• 23:23
  dad,
• 23:23
  the
• 23:24
  grandparent
• 23:25
  sees
• 23:25
  themselves.
• 23:26
  I
• 23:26
  love
• 23:27
  that.
• 23:27
  Great
• 23:28
  technique.
• 23:28
  So
• 23:29
  congratulations.
• 23:31
  Thank
• 23:31
  you
• 23:31
  very
• 23:32
  much.
• 23:32
  Oh,
• 23:32
  you're
• 23:33
  welcome.
• 23:33
  So
• 23:34
  the
• 23:34
  theme.
• 23:35
  Describe
• 23:35
  the
• 23:36
  theme
• 23:36
  a
• 23:36
  little
• 23:36
  bit
• 23:37
  about.
• 23:37
  For
• 23:37
  the
• 23:38
  audience
• 23:38
  about
• 23:39
  your
• 23:39
  book.
• 23:39
  Take
• 23:39
  a
• 23:40
  few
• 23:40
  minutes
• 23:40
  to
• 23:40
  do
• 23:40
  that.
• 23:41
  Sure.
• 23:41
  So
• 23:42
  money,
• 23:42
  time
• 23:43
  is
• 23:43
  actually
• 23:43
  taking
• 23:44
  the
• 23:44
  idea
• 23:44
  of
• 23:45
  that.
• 23:45
  I
• 23:45
  thought
• 23:45
  of
• 23:45
  the
• 23:46
  phrase
• 23:46
  time
• 23:46
  as
• 23:47
  money.
• 23:47
  So
• 23:48
  money
• 23:48
  represents
• 23:49
  time
• 23:49
  in
• 23:50
  the
• 23:50
  book.
• 23:50
  You
• 23:50
  have.
• 23:51
  If
• 23:51
  you
• 23:51
  have
• 23:51
  24
• 23:52
  hours
• 23:52
  a
• 23:53
  day,
• 23:53
  it's
• 23:53
  as
• 23:53
  if
• 23:53
  you
• 23:54
  have
• 23:54
  $24
• 23:55
  to
• 23:55
  spend.
• 23:56
  So
• 23:56
  it's
• 23:56
  all
• 23:56
  about
• 23:57
  you
• 23:57
  thinking,
• 23:58
  the
• 23:58
  reader
• 23:58
  thinking,
• 23:59
  or
• 23:59
  whoever
• 23:59
  is
• 23:59
  reading
• 24:00
  the
• 24:00
  book
• 24:00
  to
• 24:00
  a
• 24:00
  child
• 24:01
  thinking
• 24:01
  about
• 24:02
  how
• 24:02
  to
• 24:02
  spend
• 24:03
  that
• 24:03
  $24
• 24:04
  and
• 24:04
  what
• 24:05
  to
• 24:05
  do
• 24:05
  with
• 24:05
  it.
• 24:05
  What
• 24:05
  do
• 24:05
  you.
• 24:06
  There
• 24:06
  are
• 24:06
  things
• 24:06
  we
• 24:06
  need
• 24:07
  to
• 24:07
  do
• 24:07
  that
• 24:08
  are
• 24:08
  just
• 24:08
  responsibilities
• 24:10
  for
• 24:10
  children.
• 24:10
  School,
• 24:11
  for
• 24:11
  example,
• 24:11
  or
• 24:12
  maybe
• 24:12
  an
• 24:12
  extracurricular
• 24:13
  activity
• 24:13
  for
• 24:14
  adults.
• 24:14
  We
• 24:14
  have
• 24:14
  work
• 24:15
  or
• 24:15
  whatever
• 24:15
  we
• 24:15
  may
• 24:15
  have
• 24:16
  to
• 24:16
  do,
• 24:17
  and
• 24:17
  we
• 24:18
  just
• 24:18
  have
• 24:18
  to
• 24:18
  think
• 24:18
  about
• 24:19
  how
• 24:19
  to
• 24:19
  fit
• 24:19
  in,
• 24:19
  what
• 24:20
  we
• 24:20
  want
• 24:20
  to
• 24:20
  do
• 24:21
  and
• 24:21
  what
• 24:22
  we
• 24:22
  need
• 24:22
  to
• 24:22
  do.
• 24:22
  And
• 24:23
  also
• 24:23
  if
• 24:24
  we
• 24:24
  have
• 24:24
  passions
• 24:24
  or
• 24:25
  hobbies,
• 24:25
  some
• 24:25
  people
• 24:25
  may
• 24:26
  feel
• 24:26
  that's
• 24:26
  difficult
• 24:26
  to
• 24:27
  fit
• 24:27
  into
• 24:27
  their
• 24:27
  day.
• 24:27
  But
• 24:27
  it's.
• 24:28
  If
• 24:28
  you
• 24:28
  think
• 24:28
  of
• 24:29
  the
• 24:29
  concept
• 24:29
  of
• 24:29
  those
• 24:30
  hours
• 24:30
  in
• 24:30
  a
• 24:30
  day,
• 24:31
  you.
• 24:31
  It's
• 24:31
  just
• 24:32
  a
• 24:32
  way
• 24:32
  of
• 24:32
  people
• 24:32
  opening
• 24:33
  their
• 24:33
  minds
• 24:33
  to
• 24:34
  how
• 24:34
  to
• 24:34
  put
• 24:35
  all
• 24:35
  of
• 24:35
  the
• 24:36
  tasks
• 24:36
  they
• 24:36
  want
• 24:36
  to
• 24:36
  do
• 24:37
  and
• 24:37
  need
• 24:37
  to
• 24:37
  do
• 24:37
  into
• 24:37
  their
• 24:38
  day.
• 24:38
  So
• 24:39
  it's
• 24:39
  like
• 24:39
  you
• 24:39
  have
• 24:39
  to
• 24:39
  budget
• 24:40
  your
• 24:40
  time
• 24:40
  like
• 24:40
  you
• 24:40
  budget
• 24:41
  your
• 24:41
  money.
• 24:41
  Absolutely.
• 24:42
  Your
• 24:43
  technique
• 24:43
  is
• 24:44
  fantastic.
• 24:45
  Because
• 24:45
  I
• 24:46
  love
• 24:46
  the
• 24:46
  idea
• 24:47
  of
• 24:47
  the
• 24:48
  24
• 24:49
  hours
• 24:49
  and
• 24:49
  the
• 24:49
  $24.
• 24:51
  Because
• 24:51
  everybody
• 24:52
  can
• 24:52
  relate
• 24:52
  to
• 24:52
  that.
• 24:53
  Yes.
• 24:54
  And
• 24:54
  they
• 24:55
  can
• 24:55
  also
• 24:55
  relate
• 24:56
  to
• 24:56
  a
• 24:57
  dollar.
• 24:57
  Yes.
• 24:58
  You're
• 24:58
  not
• 24:58
  talking
• 24:59
  $1,000.
• 24:59
  You're
• 25:00
  not
• 25:00
  talking
• 25:00
  $10,000.
• 25:01
  You're
• 25:01
  talking
• 25:02
  $,
• 25:03
  a
• 25:03
  simple
• 25:03
  $
• 25:04
  in
• 25:04
  a
• 25:04
  simple
• 25:05
  hour.
• 25:06
  Yes.
• 25:06
  Terrific.
• 25:07
  Terrific.
• 25:08
  Thank
• 25:08
  you.
• 25:08
  So
• 25:09
  you
• 25:09
  talked
• 25:09
  a
• 25:10
  bit
• 25:10
  about
• 25:10
  your
• 25:11
  students
• 25:11
  and
• 25:11
  them
• 25:12
  being
• 25:12
  part
• 25:12
  of
• 25:12
  the
• 25:12
  inspiration
• 25:13
  in
• 25:13
  the
• 25:14
  book.
• 25:14
  Yes.
• 25:15
  And
• 25:15
  as
• 25:16
  a
• 25:16
  teacher,
• 25:17
  talk
• 25:17
  to
• 25:17
  us
• 25:17
  a
• 25:17
  little
• 25:18
  bit.
• 25:18
  Because
• 25:18
  obviously,
• 25:19
  as
• 25:19
  a
• 25:19
  teacher,
• 25:20
  you
• 25:20
  always
• 25:20
  think,
• 25:20
  okay,
• 25:21
  what's
• 25:21
  the
• 25:21
  central
• 25:22
  lesson
• 25:23
  and
• 25:23
  what
• 25:23
  am
• 25:23
  I
• 25:23
  trying
• 25:24
  to
• 25:24
  teach
• 25:25
  my
• 25:25
  students?
• 25:25
  Or
• 25:26
  so
• 25:26
  in
• 25:26
  other
• 25:26
  words,
• 25:27
  what's
• 25:27
  the
• 25:27
  central
• 25:28
  lesson
• 25:28
  in
• 25:29
  your
• 25:29
  book?
• 25:29
  Or
• 25:30
  what
• 25:30
  are
• 25:30
  you
• 25:30
  trying
• 25:30
  to
• 25:31
  teach
• 25:31
  us
• 25:32
  as
• 25:32
  readers
• 25:33
  from
• 25:33
  your
• 25:33
  book?
• 25:34
  I
• 25:34
  want.
• 25:34
  I
• 25:35
  would
• 25:35
  say
• 25:35
  I
• 25:35
  want
• 25:35
  to
• 25:36
  teach
• 25:36
  the
• 25:36
  Children.
• 25:37
  That
• 25:37
  it's
• 25:38
  as
• 25:38
  much
• 25:38
  as.
• 25:38
  It's
• 25:39
  absolutely
• 25:39
  a
• 25:39
  challenge
• 25:40
  to
• 25:40
  balance
• 25:40
  our
• 25:41
  time
• 25:41
  that
• 25:41
  we
• 25:42
  really.
• 25:42
  We
• 25:42
  all
• 25:42
  can
• 25:42
  do.
• 25:43
  But
• 25:43
  if
• 25:43
  we
• 25:43
  just
• 25:44
  take
• 25:44
  a
• 25:44
  little
• 25:44
  bit
• 25:44
  of
• 25:45
  time.
• 25:45
  There
• 25:45
  you
• 25:46
  go.
• 25:46
  Time.
• 25:46
  Actually
• 25:47
  schedule
• 25:47
  your
• 25:47
  day
• 25:48
  or
• 25:48
  to
• 25:48
  look
• 25:48
  at
• 25:49
  where
• 25:49
  I.
• 25:49
  I
• 25:50
  always
• 25:50
  tell
• 25:50
  I.
• 25:51
  When
• 25:51
  I
• 25:51
  use
• 25:51
  this
• 25:51
  book.
• 25:51
  And
• 25:52
  I
• 25:52
  actually,
• 25:52
  I've
• 25:52
  done
• 25:52
  school
• 25:53
  visits
• 25:53
  too.
• 25:53
  I
• 25:54
  was
• 25:54
  talking
• 25:54
  to
• 25:54
  some
• 25:54
  of
• 25:54
  the
• 25:55
  children
• 25:55
  about
• 25:55
  how
• 25:56
  it's
• 25:56
  in
• 25:56
  to.
• 25:57
  To
• 25:57
  really
• 25:57
  write
• 25:57
  out
• 25:58
  how
• 25:58
  you're
• 25:58
  already
• 25:58
  spending
• 25:59
  your
• 25:59
  time
• 25:59
  and
• 26:00
  to
• 26:00
  see,
• 26:00
  see,
• 26:00
  really
• 26:01
  be
• 26:01
  honest.
• 26:01
  If
• 26:01
  you
• 26:02
  spent
• 26:02
  four
• 26:02
  hours
• 26:03
  on
• 26:03
  social
• 26:03
  media,
• 26:04
  be
• 26:04
  honest
• 26:04
  and
• 26:05
  say
• 26:05
  yours.
• 26:05
  Four
• 26:05
  hours
• 26:06
  on
• 26:06
  Instagram,
• 26:07
  just
• 26:07
  say,
• 26:07
  look
• 26:07
  at
• 26:07
  it
• 26:07
  and
• 26:08
  say,
• 26:08
  okay,
• 26:08
  do
• 26:09
  I
• 26:09
  need
• 26:09
  this
• 26:09
  amount
• 26:09
  of
• 26:09
  time
• 26:10
  on
• 26:10
  social
• 26:10
  media?
• 26:10
  Could
• 26:11
  I
• 26:11
  have
• 26:11
  maybe
• 26:11
  went
• 26:11
  outside
• 26:12
  for
• 26:12
  a
• 26:12
  little
• 26:12
  bit?
• 26:12
  We
• 26:13
  all,
• 26:13
  we
• 26:13
  all
• 26:13
  do
• 26:13
  it.
• 26:14
  I.
• 26:14
  Some
• 26:15
  of
• 26:15
  us
• 26:15
  get
• 26:15
  so
• 26:15
  wrapped
• 26:16
  up
• 26:16
  in
• 26:16
  work,
• 26:16
  even
• 26:17
  me,
• 26:17
  that's.
• 26:17
  I
• 26:18
  get
• 26:18
  wrapped
• 26:18
  up
• 26:18
  in
• 26:18
  it
• 26:18
  and
• 26:18
  I
• 26:19
  realize
• 26:19
  I
• 26:19
  spent
• 26:19
  too
• 26:19
  much
• 26:19
  time
• 26:20
  working
• 26:20
  and
• 26:21
  I
• 26:21
  needed
• 26:21
  a
• 26:21
  little
• 26:21
  break.
• 26:22
  And
• 26:22
  it's
• 26:22
  just.
• 26:23
  That's
• 26:23
  the
• 26:23
  central
• 26:23
  lesson
• 26:24
  is
• 26:24
  that
• 26:24
  if
• 26:24
  we
• 26:25
  take
• 26:25
  a
• 26:25
  little
• 26:25
  time
• 26:25
  to
• 26:25
  look
• 26:26
  at
• 26:26
  how
• 26:26
  we're
• 26:26
  spending
• 26:26
  our
• 26:27
  time
• 26:27
  or
• 26:28
  take
• 26:28
  a
• 26:28
  little
• 26:28
  time
• 26:28
  to
• 26:29
  try
• 26:29
  to
• 26:29
  schedule
• 26:29
  how
• 26:30
  you
• 26:30
  want
• 26:30
  to
• 26:30
  spend
• 26:31
  your
• 26:31
  time,
• 26:31
  you
• 26:32
  really
• 26:32
  can
• 26:32
  fit
• 26:32
  in
• 26:33
  those
• 26:33
  things
• 26:33
  that
• 26:33
  you
• 26:33
  need
• 26:34
  to
• 26:34
  do
• 26:34
  and
• 26:34
  want
• 26:34
  to
• 26:34
  do
• 26:35
  in
• 26:35
  the
• 26:35
  day.
• 26:35
  Absolutely.
• 26:37
  That
• 26:37
  leads
• 26:37
  me
• 26:38
  to
• 26:38
  my
• 26:38
  next
• 26:38
  question
• 26:39
  because
• 26:39
  it's
• 26:39
  nice
• 26:40
  when
• 26:40
  we
• 26:40
  get
• 26:40
  to
• 26:41
  talk
• 26:41
  about
• 26:41
  not
• 26:41
  only
• 26:42
  your
• 26:42
  current
• 26:43
  book,
• 26:44
  Money
• 26:44
  Times,
• 26:45
  but
• 26:45
  we're
• 26:45
  also
• 26:46
  have
• 26:47
  delved
• 26:47
  a
• 26:47
  little
• 26:48
  into
• 26:48
  your
• 26:49
  next
• 26:49
  book.
• 26:50
  I'm
• 26:50
  curious
• 26:50
  about
• 26:51
  your
• 26:51
  writing
• 26:52
  process.
• 26:52
  One
• 26:53
  was
• 26:53
  inspirational,
• 26:54
  came
• 26:54
  to
• 26:54
  you
• 26:55
  like
• 26:55
  boom.
• 26:56
  And
• 26:56
  the
• 26:56
  other
• 26:56
  one
• 26:57
  has
• 26:57
  taken
• 26:57
  some
• 26:58
  work.
• 26:58
  So
• 26:58
  let's
• 26:59
  share
• 26:59
  some
• 27:00
  insights
• 27:00
  into
• 27:01
  your
• 27:01
  development
• 27:02
  as
• 27:02
  an
• 27:02
  author,
• 27:03
  your
• 27:03
  writing
• 27:04
  process
• 27:05
  for
• 27:05
  children's
• 27:06
  book,
• 27:06
  and
• 27:07
  besides
• 27:07
  your
• 27:08
  personal
• 27:08
  experiences,
• 27:09
  did
• 27:10
  you
• 27:10
  conduct
• 27:11
  any
• 27:11
  other
• 27:12
  research?
• 27:13
  And
• 27:13
  if
• 27:13
  you
• 27:13
  did,
• 27:14
  why
• 27:14
  was
• 27:14
  it
• 27:14
  important?
• 27:15
  Oh,
• 27:15
  that's
• 27:16
  a
• 27:16
  great
• 27:16
  question.
• 27:16
  I
• 27:16
  would
• 27:17
  say
• 27:17
  in
• 27:17
  terms
• 27:17
  of
• 27:17
  the
• 27:17
  research,
• 27:18
  I
• 27:18
  really
• 27:19
  conducted
• 27:19
  more
• 27:19
  research
• 27:20
  after
• 27:20
  I
• 27:21
  had
• 27:21
  the
• 27:21
  idea
• 27:21
  for
• 27:21
  this
• 27:22
  book.
• 27:22
  I'll
• 27:22
  say
• 27:22
  in
• 27:23
  terms
• 27:23
  of
• 27:23
  what
• 27:23
  to
• 27:23
  do
• 27:23
  and
• 27:24
  how
• 27:24
  to.
• 27:24
  What
• 27:24
  to
• 27:24
  do
• 27:25
  with
• 27:25
  my
• 27:25
  book.
• 27:25
  But
• 27:25
  I
• 27:26
  had
• 27:26
  the
• 27:26
  idea
• 27:26
  and
• 27:26
  I
• 27:27
  wrote
• 27:27
  it
• 27:27
  down
• 27:27
  and
• 27:28
  that
• 27:28
  was
• 27:28
  there.
• 27:29
  My
• 27:29
  writing
• 27:29
  process
• 27:30
  is.
• 27:30
  It's
• 27:30
  just
• 27:30
  different.
• 27:31
  I
• 27:31
  notice
• 27:31
  with
• 27:32
  this
• 27:32
  other
• 27:32
  book
• 27:32
  idea
• 27:33
  and
• 27:33
  this
• 27:33
  other
• 27:33
  one
• 27:33
  that
• 27:34
  I
• 27:34
  also
• 27:34
  have
• 27:34
  in
• 27:34
  the
• 27:34
  back
• 27:35
  of
• 27:35
  my
• 27:35
  mind
• 27:35
  that's
• 27:35
  developing.
• 27:36
  I
• 27:36
  have
• 27:36
  two
• 27:36
  other
• 27:36
  books
• 27:37
  in
• 27:37
  my
• 27:37
  head.
• 27:37
  They're
• 27:38
  very
• 27:38
  different.
• 27:38
  They're
• 27:39
  just.
• 27:39
  I'm
• 27:40
  going
• 27:41
  different
• 27:41
  routes
• 27:41
  with
• 27:41
  them.
• 27:42
  So
• 27:42
  it's.
• 27:43
  One
• 27:43
  book
• 27:43
  may
• 27:44
  have
• 27:44
  more
• 27:44
  of
• 27:44
  a
• 27:45
  character
• 27:45
  with
• 27:45
  a
• 27:45
  name.
• 27:46
  One
• 27:46
  may
• 27:47
  be
• 27:47
  similar
• 27:47
  to
• 27:47
  how
• 27:47
  I
• 27:48
  wrote
• 27:48
  Money
• 27:48
  Time,
• 27:49
  where
• 27:49
  I
• 27:49
  put
• 27:49
  somebody
• 27:50
  in
• 27:50
  the
• 27:50
  shoes
• 27:50
  of
• 27:50
  a
• 27:50
  character.
• 27:51
  So
• 27:51
  it's
• 27:51
  just.
• 27:52
  I'm
• 27:52
  testing
• 27:53
  the
• 27:53
  waters
• 27:54
  and
• 27:54
  I'm.
• 27:54
  I'm
• 27:54
  trying
• 27:55
  out
• 27:55
  different.
• 27:56
  Different
• 27:56
  methods,
• 27:56
  but
• 27:57
  I.
• 27:57
  It's
• 27:57
  really
• 27:58
  just
• 27:59
  basically
• 27:59
  based
• 27:59
  on
• 28:00
  that
• 28:00
  story
• 28:00
  itself.
• 28:01
  It
• 28:01
  comes
• 28:01
  to
• 28:01
  me
• 28:01
  in
• 28:02
  that
• 28:02
  way.
• 28:02
  It's
• 28:03
  not.
• 28:03
  I
• 28:03
  don't
• 28:03
  really
• 28:03
  have
• 28:04
  a.
• 28:04
  I
• 28:05
  didn't
• 28:05
  research
• 28:05
  how
• 28:05
  to
• 28:06
  write
• 28:06
  so
• 28:06
  much
• 28:07
  into.
• 28:07
  I
• 28:07
  didn't
• 28:07
  re.
• 28:08
  It
• 28:08
  just
• 28:08
  kind
• 28:08
  of
• 28:08
  is
• 28:08
  there
• 28:09
  and
• 28:09
  I
• 28:09
  just
• 28:09
  put
• 28:09
  it
• 28:09
  down.
• 28:10
  And
• 28:10
  the
• 28:11
  one
• 28:11
  that
• 28:11
  is.
• 28:12
  That
• 28:12
  changed.
• 28:13
  That
• 28:13
  transitioned.
• 28:13
  It
• 28:14
  transitioned
• 28:14
  from
• 28:15
  having
• 28:15
  a
• 28:15
  character
• 28:16
  to
• 28:16
  something
• 28:16
  more
• 28:16
  like
• 28:17
  money
• 28:17
  time,
• 28:18
  where
• 28:18
  I'm
• 28:18
  making
• 28:19
  it
• 28:19
  be
• 28:19
  more
• 28:20
  based
• 28:20
  on
• 28:21
  your
• 28:21
  experience
• 28:22
  and
• 28:22
  how
• 28:22
  you
• 28:22
  can
• 28:23
  relate
• 28:23
  to
• 28:23
  your
• 28:24
  life.
• 28:24
  That's
• 28:25
  where.
• 28:26
  That's
• 28:26
  why
• 28:26
  I
• 28:26
  ended
• 28:26
  up
• 28:26
  switching
• 28:27
  it,
• 28:27
  because
• 28:27
  I
• 28:27
  felt
• 28:27
  that
• 28:28
  the
• 28:28
  character
• 28:28
  story
• 28:29
  couldn't
• 28:29
  apply
• 28:29
  to
• 28:30
  as
• 28:30
  many
• 28:30
  people
• 28:30
  as
• 28:30
  I
• 28:30
  wanted
• 28:31
  it
• 28:31
  to.
• 28:32
  And
• 28:32
  it's
• 28:32
  the.
• 28:32
  Because
• 28:33
  you've
• 28:33
  already
• 28:34
  shared
• 28:34
  a
• 28:35
  technique
• 28:35
  that
• 28:36
  a
• 28:36
  lot
• 28:36
  of
• 28:36
  people
• 28:37
  may
• 28:37
  have
• 28:37
  not
• 28:37
  have
• 28:38
  thought
• 28:38
  of.
• 28:38
  And
• 28:39
  even
• 28:40
  talking
• 28:40
  about
• 28:41
  money
• 28:41
  time
• 28:41
  and
• 28:42
  why
• 28:42
  you
• 28:42
  didn't
• 28:43
  put
• 28:43
  a
• 28:44
  name
• 28:44
  to
• 28:44
  your
• 28:44
  characters,
• 28:45
  and
• 28:45
  then
• 28:46
  even
• 28:47
  this
• 28:47
  next
• 28:47
  book
• 28:47
  that
• 28:47
  you're
• 28:48
  developing
• 28:49
  starts
• 28:49
  out
• 28:49
  as
• 28:50
  a.
• 28:50
  Having
• 28:50
  a
• 28:51
  main
• 28:51
  character
• 28:52
  name.
• 28:52
  And
• 28:52
  then
• 28:52
  all
• 28:53
  of
• 28:53
  a
• 28:53
  sudden,
• 28:54
  maybe
• 28:54
  not.
• 28:55
  And
• 28:55
  that
• 28:55
  develops
• 28:56
  out
• 28:56
  of
• 28:56
  how
• 28:57
  you
• 28:57
  developed
• 28:58
  a
• 28:58
  technique.
• 28:58
  That
• 28:59
  doesn't
• 28:59
  mean,
• 28:59
  like
• 28:59
  you
• 29:00
  said,
• 29:00
  that
• 29:00
  you
• 29:01
  wouldn't
• 29:01
  have
• 29:01
  a
• 29:01
  book
• 29:02
  with
• 29:02
  a
• 29:02
  main
• 29:03
  character
• 29:03
  name,
• 29:04
  but
• 29:04
  at
• 29:04
  this
• 29:04
  point,
• 29:05
  that's
• 29:05
  not
• 29:05
  the
• 29:05
  way
• 29:05
  you're
• 29:06
  headed.
• 29:06
  Exactly.
• 29:07
  And
• 29:07
  I
• 29:07
  think
• 29:07
  having
• 29:07
  a
• 29:08
  main
• 29:08
  character
• 29:08
  be
• 29:08
  wonderful
• 29:09
  because
• 29:09
  you
• 29:09
  can.
• 29:09
  And
• 29:10
  people
• 29:10
  absolutely
• 29:10
  could
• 29:10
  relate
• 29:11
  to
• 29:11
  them.
• 29:11
  For
• 29:12
  the
• 29:12
  idea
• 29:12
  that
• 29:12
  I
• 29:13
  have,
• 29:13
  it
• 29:13
  felt
• 29:14
  that
• 29:14
  the
• 29:15
  story
• 29:15
  was
• 29:15
  just
• 29:16
  too
• 29:16
  similar
• 29:17
  to
• 29:17
  something
• 29:17
  just
• 29:17
  in
• 29:18
  my
• 29:18
  own
• 29:18
  experience.
• 29:19
  And
• 29:19
  I
• 29:20
  wanted
• 29:20
  to
• 29:20
  expand
• 29:21
  it
• 29:21
  a
• 29:21
  bit
• 29:22
  to
• 29:22
  other.
• 29:22
  For
• 29:22
  people
• 29:23
  to
• 29:23
  be
• 29:23
  able
• 29:23
  to
• 29:23
  relate
• 29:24
  more
• 29:24
  for
• 29:24
  this.
• 29:25
  Yeah.
• 29:25
  In
• 29:26
  the
• 29:26
  future,
• 29:26
  I
• 29:26
  might
• 29:26
  have
• 29:26
  a
• 29:27
  character.
• 29:27
  So.
• 29:27
  Okay.
• 29:28
  I
• 29:28
  just
• 29:29
  trying
• 29:29
  to.
• 29:30
  As
• 29:30
  a
• 29:30
  children's
• 29:31
  book
• 29:31
  author,
• 29:32
  I.
• 29:33
  I'm
• 29:33
  the
• 29:34
  neat
• 29:34
  thing
• 29:34
  about
• 29:34
  it.
• 29:35
  I'm
• 29:35
  sitting
• 29:35
  in
• 29:36
  the
• 29:36
  same
• 29:36
  shoes.
• 29:37
  I'm
• 29:37
  wearing
• 29:38
  the
• 29:38
  same
• 29:38
  shoes
• 29:38
  as
• 29:39
  you.
• 29:39
  And
• 29:40
  so
• 29:40
  a
• 29:40
  lot
• 29:41
  of
• 29:41
  this
• 29:41
  is.
• 29:42
  I
• 29:42
  get
• 29:43
  to
• 29:43
  be
• 29:43
  the
• 29:43
  student
• 29:44
  here,
• 29:44
  and
• 29:45
  I
• 29:45
  just
• 29:45
  love
• 29:45
  it.
• 29:46
  And
• 29:47
  so
• 29:47
  I
• 29:47
  want
• 29:47
  to

• 29:53
  ideas
• 29:53
  about
• 29:54
  what

• 29:55
  is.
• 29:56
  First,

  I
• 29:57
  want

  And

  So

  you

  34,
• 31:37
  five
• 31:37
  star
• 31:38
  reviews?
• 31:39
  Oh
• 31:39
  my
• 31:39
  goodness.
• 31:39
  The
• 31:40
  beginning
• 31:40
  was
• 31:41
  I
• 31:41
  was
• 31:41
  so
• 31:41
  honored
• 31:42
  because
• 31:43
  the
• 31:43
  few
• 31:43
  of
• 31:43
  the
• 31:44
  first
• 31:44
  reviews
• 31:44
  were
• 31:45
  people
• 31:45
  that
• 31:46
  knew
• 31:46
  me,
• 31:46
  my
• 31:46
  friends,
• 31:46
  my
• 31:47
  family,
• 31:47
  just
• 31:47
  to
• 31:47
  support
• 31:48
  me
• 31:48
  and
• 31:48
  they
• 31:48
  of
• 31:49
  course
• 31:49
  when
• 31:49
  they're
• 31:49
  like
• 31:49
  what
• 31:49
  this
• 31:50
  is
• 31:50
  great
• 31:50
  and
• 31:50
  what
• 31:50
  the
• 31:50
  book
• 31:51
  and
• 31:51
  then
• 31:51
  I
• 31:51
  would
• 31:52
  peek
• 31:52
  in
• 31:52
  there.
• 31:52
  If
• 31:52
  you
• 31:52
  could
• 31:53
  give
• 31:53
  me
• 31:53
  a
• 31:53
  review
• 31:53
  that
• 31:53
  would
• 31:53
  be
• 31:54
  wonderful.
• 31:54
  I
• 31:54
  would
• 31:54
  really
• 31:54
  appreciate
• 31:55
  a
• 31:55
  review.
• 31:55
  But
• 31:56
  again
• 31:56
  wasn't
• 31:57
  I
• 31:57
  didn't
• 31:57
  expected
• 31:58
  of
• 31:58
  whatever
• 31:59
  people
• 31:59
  felt
• 31:59
  comfortable.
• 32:00
  But
• 32:00
  then
• 32:00
  when
• 32:01
  I
• 32:01
  started
• 32:01
  doing
• 32:01
  some
• 32:02
  school
• 32:02
  visits,
• 32:03
  actually
• 32:03
  I
• 32:04
  was
• 32:04
  also
• 32:04
  on
• 32:04
  another
• 32:04
  podcast.
• 32:06
  People
• 32:06
  reviewed
• 32:07
  it
• 32:07
  without,
• 32:08
  without
• 32:08
  really
• 32:08
  knowing
• 32:09
  me
• 32:09
  and
• 32:09
  knowing
• 32:10
  me
• 32:10
  well.
• 32:10
  So
• 32:10
  that
• 32:10
  was,
• 32:11
  I
• 32:11
  was
• 32:11
  really
• 32:11
  blown
• 32:12
  away
• 32:12
  by
• 32:12
  that
• 32:12
  because
• 32:13
  like
• 32:13
  the
• 32:13
  first
• 32:13
  10
• 32:14
  reviews
• 32:14
  being
• 32:15
  from
• 32:15
  family
• 32:15
  and
• 32:15
  friends
• 32:16
  of
• 32:16
  course
• 32:16
  so
• 32:16
  honored.
• 32:17
  But
• 32:17
  then
• 32:17
  when
• 32:17
  you
• 32:18
  see
• 32:18
  reviews
• 32:18
  and
• 32:18
  you're
• 32:18
  like
• 32:19
  I
• 32:19
  don't
• 32:19
  even
• 32:19
  know,
• 32:19
  I
• 32:20
  don't
• 32:20
  know
• 32:20
  this
• 32:20
  person
• 32:21
  or
• 32:21
  wow,
• 32:22
  they
• 32:22
  actually
• 32:22
  gave
• 32:22
  me
• 32:23
  a
• 32:23
  review.
• 32:23
  The
• 32:23
  person
• 32:23
  that
• 32:23
  was,
• 32:24
  that
• 32:24
  was
• 32:24
  on
• 32:24
  a
• 32:24
  podcast.
• 32:25
  Like
• 32:25
  I
• 32:25
  was
• 32:25
  just
• 32:25
  honored
• 32:26
  and
• 32:26
  blown
• 32:26
  away.
• 32:27
  Some
• 32:27
  of
• 32:27
  it
• 32:27
  was
• 32:27
  just
• 32:28
  people
• 32:28
  who
• 32:28
  knew
• 32:29
  me
• 32:29
  and
• 32:29
  then
• 32:29
  of
• 32:29
  it
• 32:30
  was
• 32:30
  people
• 32:30
  that
• 32:30
  didn't.
• 32:31
  So
• 32:31
  that
• 32:32
  was
• 32:32
  really.
• 32:33
  When
• 32:33
  you
• 32:33
  said
• 32:33
  like
• 32:33
  how
• 32:33
  do
• 32:33
  you
• 32:34
  measure
• 32:34
  success?
• 32:34
  I
• 32:34
  just
• 32:35
  thought
• 32:35
  that
• 32:35
  I
• 32:35
  just
• 32:36
  really
• 32:36
  was
• 32:36
  blown
• 32:37
  away
• 32:37
  by
• 32:37
  that
• 32:37
  amount
• 32:37
  of
• 32:38
  reviews.
• 32:38
  I
• 32:39
  didn't
• 32:39
  expect
• 32:39
  it
• 32:39
  to.
• 32:40
  Well,
• 32:40
  to
• 32:41
  the
• 32:41
  audience,
• 32:41
  Tanya
• 32:42
  is
• 32:42
  16
• 32:43
  reviews
• 32:44
  away
• 32:45
  from
• 32:45
  50.
• 32:46
  Any
• 32:47
  way
• 32:47
  we
• 32:47
  can
• 32:47
  influence
• 32:48
  you
• 32:49
  to
• 32:50
  support
• 32:50
  Tanya,
• 32:51
  we'd
• 32:51
  love
• 32:51
  you
• 32:51
  to
• 32:51
  help
• 32:52
  her
• 32:52
  get
• 32:52
  to.
• 32:52
  Thank
• 32:53
  you
• 32:53
  because
• 32:53
  that
• 32:54
  is
• 32:54
  just
• 32:55
  spectacular
• 32:55
  healer.
• 32:56
  Thank
• 32:56
  you.
• 32:57
  I'll
• 32:57
  put
• 32:57
  that
• 32:57
  in
• 32:57
  my,
• 32:58
  my
• 32:58
  mind
• 32:58
  2025,
• 32:59
  I'm
• 32:59
  gonna
• 33:00
  put
• 33:00
  it
• 33:00
  out
• 33:00
  there
• 33:00
  hopefully
• 33:01
  to
• 33:01
  get
• 33:01
  to
• 33:02
  50
• 33:02
  because
• 33:02
  I
• 33:02
  didn't
• 33:03
  even
• 33:03
  know
• 33:03
  in
• 33:04
  what
• 33:04
  you
• 33:04
  said
• 33:04
  in
• 33:04
  terms
• 33:04
  of
• 33:05
  50
• 33:05
  being
• 33:05
  another
• 33:06
  milestone
• 33:06
  for
• 33:06
  reviews.
• 33:07
  So
• 33:07
  that
• 33:07
  would
• 33:07
  be
• 33:07
  wonderful,
• 33:08
  of
• 33:08
  course,
• 33:08
  if
• 33:08
  people.
• 33:09
  If
• 33:09
  people
• 33:09
  love
• 33:10
  the
• 33:10
  book
• 33:10
  and
• 33:10
  would
• 33:10
  like
• 33:10
  to
• 33:10
  review
• 33:11
  it.
• 33:11
  But
• 33:12
  I
• 33:12
  was
• 33:12
  really,
• 33:13
  really
• 33:13
  honored
• 33:14
  and
• 33:14
  I
• 33:14
  couldn't
• 33:14
  believe
• 33:15
  people
• 33:15
  liked
• 33:16
  it.
• 33:16
  I
• 33:17
  love
• 33:17
  it
• 33:17
  when,
• 33:17
  like
• 33:17
  you
• 33:18
  said,
• 33:18
  we
• 33:18
  have
• 33:19
  reviews
• 33:20
  also,
• 33:20
  and
• 33:20
  I
• 33:21
  have
• 33:21
  no
• 33:22
  idea
• 33:22
  who
• 33:22
  these
• 33:22
  people
• 33:23
  are,
• 33:23
  but
• 33:24
  we
• 33:24
  just
• 33:24
  love
• 33:24
  it
• 33:25
  and
• 33:25
  we
• 33:26
  really
• 33:26
  appreciate
• 33:27
  it.
• 33:27
  And
• 33:27
  I
• 33:27
  just
• 33:27
  want
• 33:27
  the
• 33:28
  listening
• 33:28
  audience
• 33:29
  to
• 33:29
  realize
• 33:30
  how
• 33:30
  important
• 33:30
  this
• 33:31
  is,
• 33:32
  because
• 33:33
  as
• 33:33
  a
• 33:34
  children's
• 33:34
  book
• 33:35
  author,
• 33:35
  it's
• 33:36
  not
• 33:36
  an
• 33:37
  inexpensive
• 33:38
  venture.
• 33:39
  Generally,
• 33:39
  you're
• 33:40
  funding
• 33:41
  the
• 33:41
  whole
• 33:41
  thing
• 33:42
  yourself.
• 33:42
  And
• 33:43
  unless
• 33:43
  you're
• 33:43
  an
• 33:44
  illustrator,
• 33:44
  it
• 33:45
  can
• 33:45
  get
• 33:46
  quite
• 33:46
  expensive.
• 33:47
  Yes.
• 33:47
  And
• 33:48
  I
• 33:48
  don't
• 33:48
  want
• 33:48
  to
• 33:48
  take
• 33:48
  any
• 33:49
  work
• 33:49
  away
• 33:49
  from
• 33:50
  illustrators
• 33:50
  because
• 33:51
  I
• 33:51
  love
• 33:51
  our
• 33:52
  illustrator.
• 33:53
  But
• 33:53
  again,
• 33:54
  they
• 33:54
  have
• 33:54
  to
• 33:55
  make
• 33:55
  a
• 33:55
  living
• 33:55
  and
• 33:56
  that
• 33:56
  costs
• 33:57
  money
• 33:57
  usually.
• 33:57
  What
• 33:57
  I
• 33:58
  mentioned
• 33:58
  something
• 33:58
  being
• 33:58
  that
• 33:58
  you
• 33:59
  brought
• 33:59
  up
• 33:59
  an
• 33:59
  illustrator.
• 33:59
  I
• 33:59
  have
• 34:00
  a
• 34:00
  fantastic
• 34:00
  illustrator
• 34:01
  who
• 34:01
  helped
• 34:01
  me
• 34:01
  with
• 34:01
  my
• 34:02
  book.
• 34:02
  And
• 34:02
  the
• 34:02
  way
• 34:03
  that
• 34:03
  I
• 34:03
  got
• 34:03
  to
• 34:03
  her
• 34:03
  name
• 34:04
  is
• 34:04
  Helen
• 34:04
  Ale
• 34:04
  was
• 34:05
  because
• 34:05
  again,
• 34:06
  didn't
• 34:06
  know
• 34:06
  any
• 34:06
  illustrators.
• 34:08
  Do
• 34:08
  not
• 34:08
  know
• 34:08
  how
• 34:08
  to
• 34:09
  illustrate
• 34:09
  myself.
• 34:10
  So
• 34:10
  I
• 34:10
  said,
• 34:10
  I
• 34:11
  went
• 34:11
  on
• 34:11
  Instagram
• 34:12
  and
• 34:12
  I
• 34:12
  looked
• 34:12
  up
• 34:12
  children's
• 34:13
  book
• 34:13
  illustrators.
• 34:14
  And
• 34:14
  I
• 34:15
  sent
• 34:15
  the
• 34:15
  same
• 34:15
  message
• 34:16
  to
• 34:16
  everybody
• 34:17
  that
• 34:18
  was
• 34:18
  a
• 34:18
  children's
• 34:18
  book
• 34:19
  illustrator
• 34:19
  that
• 34:19
  I
• 34:19
  could
• 34:19
  find
• 34:20
  so
• 34:20
  many
• 34:21
  messages
• 34:21
  saying,
• 34:22
  I
• 34:22
  have
• 34:22
  a
• 34:22
  book
• 34:22
  idea.
• 34:23
  I
• 34:23
  put
• 34:23
  this
• 34:23
  idea
• 34:24
  out
• 34:24
  there
• 34:25
  to
• 34:25
  this
• 34:25
  person.
• 34:26
  Not
• 34:26
  until
• 34:26
  I
• 34:27
  was
• 34:27
  comfortable
• 34:27
  with
• 34:28
  the
• 34:28
  person
• 34:28
  that
• 34:28
  I
• 34:28
  was
• 34:29
  speaking
• 34:29
  with.
• 34:29
  I
• 34:29
  think
• 34:29
  about
• 34:30
  it,
• 34:30
  I'm
• 34:30
  like,
• 34:30
  I'm
• 34:30
  just
• 34:31
  putting
• 34:31
  this
• 34:31
  idea
• 34:31
  in
• 34:31
  someone's
• 34:32
  hands.
• 34:32
  We'll
• 34:32
  see
• 34:32
  what
• 34:32
  they
• 34:32
  do
• 34:33
  with
• 34:33
  it.
• 34:33
  And
• 34:33
  she
• 34:34
  just
• 34:34
  blew
• 34:34
  me
• 34:34
  away.
• 34:35
  But
• 34:35
  it
• 34:35
  was
• 34:35
  just
• 34:35
  me
• 34:36
  reaching
• 34:36
  out
• 34:37
  to
• 34:37
  many
• 34:37
  people
• 34:38
  just
• 34:38
  to
• 34:38
  say,
• 34:38
  I
• 34:38
  have
• 34:38
  a
• 34:38
  book
• 34:39
  idea.
• 34:39
  I'm
• 34:39
  brand
• 34:40
  new
• 34:40
  at
• 34:40
  this.
• 34:40
  Would
• 34:40
  love
• 34:40
  if
• 34:41
  we
• 34:41
  could
• 34:41
  maybe
• 34:41
  work
• 34:41
  together.
• 34:42
  Would
• 34:42
  love
• 34:42
  to
• 34:42
  see
• 34:43
  your
• 34:43
  work.
• 34:43
  And
• 34:43
  they.
• 34:43
  Some
• 34:43
  have
• 34:44
  sent
• 34:44
  me
• 34:44
  their
• 34:44
  portfolios
• 34:45
  and
• 34:45
  I
• 34:46
  loved
• 34:46
  the
• 34:46
  way
• 34:46
  she
• 34:46
  drew
• 34:47
  her
• 34:47
  characters.
• 34:48
  So
• 34:48
  I
• 34:48
  just
• 34:48
  went
• 34:49
  with
• 34:49
  her
• 34:49
  and
• 34:49
  it
• 34:49
  was
• 34:49
  amazing.
• 34:50
  And
• 34:50
  I'm
• 34:51
  just.
• 34:51
  I
• 34:51
  was
• 34:51
  so
• 34:51
  grateful
• 34:52
  for
• 34:52
  what
• 34:52
  she
• 34:52
  did.
• 34:53
  Her
• 34:53
  name
• 34:53
  is
• 34:53
  Helen
• 34:53
  Ale
• 34:54
  and
• 34:54
  I
• 34:54
  was
• 34:55
  just
• 34:55
  honored
• 34:55
  to
• 34:56
  work
• 34:56
  with
• 34:56
  her.
• 34:56
  But
• 34:57
  it
• 34:57
  was
• 34:57
  me
• 34:58
  saying,
• 34:58
  I,
• 34:58
  I
• 34:58
  hope
• 34:59
  of
• 34:59
  doing
• 34:59
  the
• 34:59
  right
• 34:59
  thing.
• 35:00
  I
• 35:00
  don't
• 35:00
  know.
• 35:00
  Fantastic.
• 35:01
  And
• 35:01
  you
• 35:02
  know
• 35:02
  what,
• 35:02
  Tanya,
• 35:03
  after
• 35:03
  we
• 35:03
  finish
• 35:04
  the
• 35:04
  podcast
• 35:05
  show,
• 35:05
  if
• 35:05
  you
• 35:05
  want
• 35:05
  to
• 35:06
  send
• 35:06
  me
• 35:06
  her
• 35:07
  link,
• 35:07
  if
• 35:07
  she
• 35:08
  felt
• 35:08
  it's
• 35:08
  important,
• 35:09
  we'll
• 35:09
  put
• 35:09
  that
• 35:09
  in
• 35:09
  the
• 35:09
  show
• 35:10
  notes
• 35:10
  so
• 35:10
  that
• 35:10
  someone
• 35:11
  else
• 35:11
  is
• 35:11
  looking
• 35:12
  for
• 35:12
  an
• 35:12
  illustrator.
• 35:12
  And
• 35:13
  if
• 35:13
  she's
• 35:13
  looking
• 35:13
  for
• 35:13
  some
• 35:14
  board,
• 35:14
  we're
• 35:15
  happy
• 35:15
  to
• 35:15
  do
• 35:15
  that.
• 35:16
  We
• 35:16
  had
• 35:17
  a
• 35:17
  similar
• 35:17
  situation
• 35:18
  where
• 35:19
  we
• 35:19
  had
• 35:19
  to
• 35:19
  go
• 35:20
  out
• 35:20
  and
• 35:20
  find
• 35:20
  our
• 35:20
  own
• 35:21
  illustrator.
• 35:21
  And
• 35:22
  we
• 35:22
  were
• 35:22
  very
• 35:22
  fortunate
• 35:23
  because
• 35:24
  we
• 35:24
  already
• 35:24
  had
• 35:25
  developed
• 35:25
  Our
• 35:26
  character,
• 35:27
  we
• 35:27
  had
• 35:27
  developed
• 35:28
  it
• 35:28
  to
• 35:28
  the
• 35:28
  point
• 35:28
  where
• 35:29
  we
• 35:29
  even
• 35:29
  had
• 35:30
  a
• 35:31
  sample
• 35:31
  made
• 35:32
  up
• 35:32
  of
• 35:33
  our
• 35:33
  character.
• 35:34
  So
• 35:35
  I
• 35:35
  needed
• 35:35
  to
• 35:36
  find
• 35:36
  a
• 35:37
  illustrator.
• 35:38
  And
• 35:38
  the
• 35:38
  reason
• 35:39
  I
• 35:39
  tell
• 35:39
  the
• 35:39
  story
• 35:40
  is
• 35:40
  for
• 35:40
  aspiring
• 35:41
  authors.
• 35:42
  There's
• 35:42
  a
• 35:42
  lot
• 35:43
  of
• 35:43
  illustrators
• 35:43
  out
• 35:44
  there.
• 35:44
  If
• 35:44
  you
• 35:44
  take
• 35:44
  your
• 35:45
  idea
• 35:45
  and
• 35:45
  your
• 35:46
  concept
• 35:46
  or
• 35:46
  even
• 35:47
  if
• 35:47
  you
• 35:47
  have
• 35:49
  that,
• 35:49
  you
• 35:50
  want
• 35:50
  that
• 35:50
  plushie
• 35:51
  to
• 35:51
  come
• 35:51
  to
• 35:52
  life.
• 35:52
  It's
• 35:52
  incredible
• 35:53
  what
• 35:53
  illustrators
• 35:54
  can
• 35:54
  do
• 35:55
  and
• 35:55
  help
• 35:55
  you
• 35:55
  on
• 35:56
  your
• 35:56
  journey
• 35:57
  and
• 35:57
  bring
• 35:58
  your
• 35:58
  words
• 35:58
  to
• 35:58
  life.
• 35:59
  Definitely.
• 35:59
  And
• 35:59
  I
• 36:00
  was.
• 36:00
  I
• 36:00
  gave
• 36:00
  her.
• 36:01
  I
• 36:01
  had
• 36:01
  the
• 36:01
  idea
• 36:02
  of
• 36:03
  piggy
• 36:03
  banks
• 36:04
  and
• 36:04
  clock
• 36:05
  and
• 36:06
  money
• 36:06
  just
• 36:07
  being
• 36:07
  a
• 36:07
  consistent
• 36:07
  theme.
• 36:08
  But
• 36:08
  her,
• 36:08
  she
• 36:09
  really.
• 36:09
  She
• 36:10
  helped
• 36:10
  me
• 36:10
  develop
• 36:10
  the
• 36:11
  character.
• 36:12
  She
• 36:12
  helped
• 36:12
  me
• 36:12
  develop
• 36:13
  just
• 36:13
  the
• 36:13
  ideas,
• 36:14
  but
• 36:15
  it
• 36:15
  was
• 36:15
  just
• 36:15
  basically
• 36:16
  we
• 36:16
  never
• 36:16
  met
• 36:17
  in
• 36:17
  person.
• 36:17
  We
• 36:18
  spoke
• 36:18
  on,
• 36:18
  like,
• 36:18
  over
• 36:19
  zoom
• 36:19
  one
• 36:19
  day,
• 36:20
  and
• 36:20
  I
• 36:20
  told
• 36:20
  her
• 36:20
  a
• 36:21
  little
• 36:21
  bit
• 36:21
  about
• 36:21
  my
• 36:21
  vision,
• 36:22
  and
• 36:22
  she
• 36:23
  just
• 36:23
  was
• 36:23
  like,
• 36:23
  okay,
• 36:23
  what
• 36:24
  do
• 36:24
  you
• 36:24
  think
• 36:24
  of
• 36:24
  this?
• 36:24
  I'm
• 36:24
  like,
• 36:24
  oh,
• 36:24
  she
• 36:25
  totally
• 36:25
  gets
• 36:26
  what
• 36:26
  I'm
• 36:26
  looking
• 36:26
  for.
• 36:26
  It
• 36:27
  just
• 36:27
  felt
• 36:27
  comfortable.
• 36:27
  And
• 36:28
  I
• 36:28
  took
• 36:28
  that
• 36:28
  gut
• 36:29
  feeling
• 36:29
  and
• 36:29
  I
• 36:29
  went
• 36:29
  with
• 36:29
  her.
• 36:30
  But
• 36:30
  I
• 36:30
  was
• 36:30
  amazed
• 36:31
  at
• 36:31
  how
• 36:31
  she
• 36:32
  put
• 36:32
  it
• 36:32
  together.
• 36:33
  And
• 36:34
  even
• 36:34
  though
• 36:34
  your
• 36:35
  illustrator
• 36:36
  is
• 36:36
  special,
• 36:37
  so
• 36:38
  many.
• 36:38
  I
• 36:38
  want
• 36:38
  everybody
• 36:38
  to
• 36:39
  know
• 36:39
  there's
• 36:39
  a
• 36:39
  lot
• 36:40
  of
• 36:40
  special
• 36:40
  illustrators
• 36:41
  out
• 36:41
  there.
• 36:41
  People
• 36:42
  are
• 36:42
  very
• 36:42
  talented.
• 36:43
  It's
• 36:43
  incredible.
• 36:44
  You
• 36:44
  know
• 36:44
  what?
• 36:45
  If
• 36:45
  they're
• 36:45
  children's
• 36:46
  book
• 36:46
  illustrators,
• 36:48
  they
• 36:48
  get
• 36:48
  it.
• 36:49
  Like,
• 36:49
  you
• 36:49
  know
• 36:50
  what?
• 36:50
  They
• 36:50
  get
• 36:50
  it,
• 36:51
  and
• 36:51
  it's
• 36:52
  good
• 36:52
  to
• 36:52
  have
• 36:52
  that.
• 36:53
  So
• 36:54
  we've
• 36:54
  talked
• 36:54
  about
• 36:55
  your
• 36:56
  star
• 36:56
  reviews,
• 36:58
  and
• 36:58
  that's
• 36:59
  something
• 36:59
  that
• 36:59
  came
• 37:00
  after
• 37:00
  you
• 37:00
  brought
• 37:01
  your
• 37:01
  book
• 37:01
  to
• 37:01
  life.
• 37:02
  Now
• 37:02
  I'd
• 37:02
  like
• 37:03
  to
• 37:03
  talk
• 37:03
  to
• 37:03
  you
• 37:03
  a
• 37:03
  bit
• 37:03
  about
• 37:04
  your
• 37:05
  success
• 37:05
  before
• 37:06
  it
• 37:06
  even.
• 37:07
  You
• 37:08
  even
• 37:08
  sold
• 37:08
  your
• 37:09
  first
• 37:09
  copy.
• 37:09
  Talk
• 37:10
  to
• 37:10
  me
• 37:10
  about
• 37:11
  how
• 37:11
  did
• 37:11
  you
• 37:11
  envision
• 37:12
  success,
• 37:13
  and
• 37:13
  how
• 37:13
  are
• 37:14
  you
• 37:14
  in
• 37:14
  the
• 37:14
  future
• 37:15
  envisioning
• 37:16
  success?
• 37:17
  I
• 37:17
  would
• 37:17
  say
• 37:18
  that
• 37:18
  before
• 37:18
  I
• 37:19
  sold
• 37:19
  my
• 37:19
  first
• 37:19
  copy,
• 37:20
  it
• 37:20
  was
• 37:21
  when
• 37:21
  I
• 37:21
  received
• 37:22
  the
• 37:22
  book,
• 37:22
  and
• 37:22
  it
• 37:23
  was
• 37:23
  a
• 37:23
  couple.
• 37:23
  And
• 37:23
  this
• 37:23
  is
• 37:24
  something
• 37:24
  you
• 37:24
  would
• 37:24
  be
• 37:24
  familiar
• 37:25
  with,
• 37:25
  too.
• 37:26
  I
• 37:26
  had
• 37:27
  Amazon
• 37:28
  put
• 37:28
  it
• 37:28
  together,
• 37:29
  and
• 37:29
  then
• 37:29
  it
• 37:30
  had
• 37:30
  to
• 37:30
  be
• 37:31
  changed
• 37:31
  a
• 37:31
  few
• 37:31
  times.
• 37:32
  There
• 37:32
  were,
• 37:32
  you
• 37:32
  know,
• 37:32
  some
• 37:33
  tweaks
• 37:33
  that
• 37:33
  need
• 37:33
  to
• 37:33
  be
• 37:33
  made,
• 37:34
  or
• 37:34
  I
• 37:34
  noticed
• 37:35
  that,
• 37:35
  like,
• 37:35
  just
• 37:36
  from.
• 37:36
  Because
• 37:36
  I
• 37:36
  had
• 37:37
  to
• 37:37
  upload
• 37:37
  all
• 37:37
  the
• 37:37
  pages,
• 37:38
  maybe
• 37:38
  I
• 37:38
  missed
• 37:38
  the
• 37:38
  page.
• 37:39
  Something
• 37:39
  happened
• 37:39
  where
• 37:39
  it's
• 37:40
  like,
• 37:40
  I
• 37:40
  noticed
• 37:40
  that
• 37:40
  I
• 37:40
  had
• 37:40
  to
• 37:41
  look
• 37:41
  through
• 37:41
  it
• 37:41
  a
• 37:41
  few
• 37:41
  times.
• 37:42
  When
• 37:42
  it
• 37:42
  was
• 37:42
  finally
• 37:43
  completed,
• 37:43
  I
• 37:44
  received
• 37:44
  it
• 37:44
  in
• 37:44
  my
• 37:44
  hand.
• 37:45
  I'm
• 37:45
  like,
• 37:45
  this
• 37:45
  is.
• 37:46
  It's
• 37:46
  amazing
• 37:46
  to
• 37:46
  really
• 37:47
  see
• 37:47
  it
• 37:47
  come
• 37:48
  to
• 37:48
  life
• 37:48
  and
• 37:48
  be
• 37:49
  even.
• 37:49
  Just
• 37:49
  even
• 37:49
  when
• 37:50
  it
• 37:50
  was
• 37:50
  still
• 37:50
  in
• 37:50
  the
• 37:50
  works.
• 37:51
  Just
• 37:51
  amazing
• 37:51
  to
• 37:51
  see
• 37:52
  it
• 37:52
  be
• 37:52
  in
• 37:52
  a
• 37:52
  book
• 37:52
  form.
• 37:53
  And
• 37:53
  especially
• 37:54
  because
• 37:54
  I.
• 37:54
  I
• 37:54
  love
• 37:54
  children's
• 37:55
  books
• 37:55
  so
• 37:55
  much.
• 37:55
  So
• 37:55
  just
• 37:56
  being
• 37:56
  able
• 37:56
  to,
• 37:57
  to
• 37:57
  hold
• 37:57
  it
• 37:57
  and
• 37:57
  look
• 37:58
  at
• 37:58
  it
• 37:58
  and
• 37:58
  put
• 37:58
  it
• 37:58
  on
• 37:58
  my
• 37:59
  son's
• 37:59
  shelf
• 38:00
  with
• 38:00
  his
• 38:00
  other
• 38:00
  books
• 38:01
  was
• 38:01
  just
• 38:01
  such
• 38:01
  a
• 38:01
  great
• 38:02
  feeling.
• 38:02
  And
• 38:03
  so
• 38:03
  I
• 38:03
  also
• 38:04
  felt
• 38:04
  that
• 38:04
  success,
• 38:05
  of
• 38:05
  course
• 38:05
  you
• 38:05
  would
• 38:06
  love
• 38:06
  reviews
• 38:06
  and
• 38:06
  you
• 38:06
  would
• 38:07
  love
• 38:07
  sales
• 38:07
  and
• 38:07
  it's.
• 38:08
  Of
• 38:08
  course
• 38:08
  we're
• 38:08
  looking
• 38:09
  to,
• 38:09
  to
• 38:09
  have
• 38:10
  that,
• 38:10
  but
• 38:10
  I
• 38:11
  really
• 38:11
  wanted
• 38:11
  to
• 38:12
  go
• 38:12
  do
• 38:12
  those,
• 38:12
  as
• 38:13
  I
• 38:13
  said,
• 38:13
  those
• 38:13
  book
• 38:13
  readings
• 38:14
  in
• 38:14
  schools.
• 38:14
  I've
• 38:15
  done
• 38:15
  two
• 38:16
  book
• 38:16
  readings
• 38:16
  in
• 38:17
  school
• 38:17
  so
• 38:17
  far
• 38:17
  and
• 38:17
  I
• 38:17
  have
• 38:18
  two
• 38:18
  other
• 38:18
  ones
• 38:19
  coming
• 38:19
  up
• 38:19
  in
• 38:19
  March.
• 38:20
  That
• 38:20
  to
• 38:20
  me
• 38:21
  was
• 38:21
  such
• 38:21
  a.
• 38:22
  That's
• 38:22
  after
• 38:22
  the
• 38:22
  book
• 38:23
  was
• 38:23
  out
• 38:23
  there.
• 38:23
  But
• 38:24
  that
• 38:24
  was
• 38:24
  such
• 38:24
  an
• 38:25
  honor
• 38:25
  for
• 38:25
  me
• 38:25
  because
• 38:26
  that's
• 38:26
  where
• 38:26
  I
• 38:26
  saw
• 38:26
  the
• 38:27
  book
• 38:27
  when
• 38:27
  I
• 38:27
  was
• 38:27
  originally
• 38:28
  thinking
• 38:28
  about
• 38:28
  it
• 38:29
  was
• 38:29
  like,
• 38:29
  oh,
• 38:29
  this
• 38:29
  should
• 38:29
  be
• 38:30
  in
• 38:30
  schools.
• 38:30
  Maybe
• 38:30
  this
• 38:31
  could
• 38:31
  be
• 38:31
  a
• 38:31
  lesson.
• 38:32
  So
• 38:32
  that
• 38:32
  was
• 38:32
  really
• 38:32
  cool
• 38:33
  to
• 38:33
  see
• 38:33
  and
• 38:33
  to
• 38:34
  feel.
• 38:34
  So
• 38:34
  tell
• 38:35
  us
• 38:35
  about
• 38:35
  the,
• 38:36
  the
• 38:36
  very
• 38:36
  first
• 38:37
  book
• 38:37
  reading.
• 38:38
  Because
• 38:38
  you
• 38:38
  had
• 38:38
  this
• 38:39
  vision
• 38:39
  in
• 38:39
  your
• 38:40
  mind,
• 38:40
  right?
• 38:41
  Yes.
• 38:41
  And
• 38:42
  then
• 38:42
  now
• 38:42
  you
• 38:43
  got
• 38:43
  to
• 38:43
  go
• 38:43
  to
• 38:43
  and
• 38:44
  do
• 38:44
  it.
• 38:44
  So
• 38:44
  tell,
• 38:45
  tell
• 38:45
  us
• 38:45
  the
• 38:46
  vision
• 38:46
  in
• 38:46
  your
• 38:46
  mind
• 38:47
  and
• 38:47
  the
• 38:47
  reality
• 38:48
  of
• 38:48
  what
• 38:48
  happened.
• 38:49
  It
• 38:49
  was
• 38:50
  just,
• 38:50
  it
• 38:50
  was
• 38:50
  such
• 38:51
  a
• 38:51
  surreal
• 38:52
  moment.
• 38:52
  I
• 38:52
  was
• 38:53
  like,
• 38:53
  wow,
• 38:53
  I'm
• 38:53
  actually
• 38:53
  going
• 38:54
  to
• 38:54
  school.
• 38:54
  And
• 38:55
  it
• 38:55
  was.
• 38:55
  My
• 38:55
  nieces
• 38:55
  and
• 38:56
  nephews
• 38:56
  attend
• 38:56
  that
• 38:57
  school.
• 38:57
  And
• 38:58
  I
• 38:58
  was
• 38:59
  just
• 38:59
  so
• 38:59
  happy.

  My
• 38:59
  sister
• 39:00
  in
• 39:00
  law
• 39:00
  reached
• 39:00
  out
• 39:01
  to
• 39:01
  her
• 39:01
  principal
• 39:02
  and
• 39:02
  they
• 39:03
  were
• 39:03
  open
• 39:03
  to
• 39:03
  me
• 39:03
  coming
• 39:04
  in.
• 39:04
  I
• 39:04
  was
• 39:04
  just
• 39:04
  really
• 39:05
  honored
• 39:05
  to
• 39:05
  be
• 39:06
  part
• 39:06
  of
• 39:06
  that.
• 39:06
  And
• 39:06
  I
• 39:06
  thank
• 39:07
  them
• 39:07
  for
• 39:07
  that
• 39:08
  opportunity.
• 39:09
  And
• 39:09
  so
• 39:10
  reading
• 39:10
  it
• 39:10
  to
• 39:10
  them,
• 39:11
  reading
• 39:11
  it
• 39:11
  to
• 39:11
  the
• 39:11
  children
• 39:12
  in
• 39:12
  the
• 39:12
  school,
• 39:12
  they
• 39:13
  were
• 39:13
  so
• 39:14
  receptive
• 39:14
  to
• 39:15
  it.
• 39:15
  They
• 39:15
  were
• 39:15
  really
• 39:16
  excited
• 39:16
  about
• 39:17
  it
• 39:17
  and
• 39:18
  the
• 39:18
  principal
• 39:18
  was
• 39:18
  so.
• 39:19
  It
• 39:19
  was
• 39:19
  just
• 39:19
  such
• 39:19
  a
• 39:19
  nice
• 39:20
  feeling.
• 39:20
  Kids
• 39:21
  were
• 39:21
  asking
• 39:21
  me
• 39:21
  to
• 39:22
  sign
• 39:22
  their
• 39:22
  books
• 39:22
  and
• 39:23
  to
• 39:23
  autograph
• 39:24
  like
• 39:24
  their
• 39:25
  little.
• 39:25
  We
• 39:25
  did
• 39:25
  a
• 39:25
  little
• 39:25
  craft
• 39:26
  together
• 39:26
  too.
• 39:26
  And
• 39:27
  they
• 39:27
  were
• 39:27
  like,
• 39:27
  can
• 39:27
  you
• 39:27
  autograph
• 39:27
  my
• 39:28
  pa.
• 39:28
  Like
• 39:28
  my
• 39:28
  paper?
• 39:29
  So
• 39:29
  it
• 39:29
  was
• 39:29
  really
• 39:29
  sweet.
• 39:30
  And
• 39:30
  I
• 39:30
  was
• 39:30
  like,
• 39:30
  these
• 39:31
  children
• 39:31
  were
• 39:31
  just
• 39:32
  absolutely
• 39:32
  wonderful
• 39:32
  and
• 39:33
  they
• 39:33
  were
• 39:33
  into
• 39:33
  the
• 39:34
  idea
• 39:34
  and
• 39:34
  excited
• 39:35
  about
• 39:35
  it.
• 39:35
  And
• 39:35
  so
• 39:35
  that
• 39:36
  was
• 39:36
  just
• 39:36
  a
• 39:36
  great
• 39:36
  feeling.
• 39:37
  And
• 39:37
  I
• 39:37
  remember
• 39:37
  when
• 39:38
  my
• 39:38
  nieces
• 39:38
  and
• 39:38
  nephews
• 39:39
  would
• 39:39
  walk
• 39:39
  into
• 39:39
  that
• 39:40
  I
• 39:40
  would
• 39:40
  like
• 39:40
  well
• 39:40
  up.
• 39:41
  But
• 39:41
  I
• 39:41
  was
• 39:41
  getting
• 39:41
  emotional
• 39:42
  because
• 39:42
  I
• 39:42
  was
• 39:42
  like
• 39:42
  reading
• 39:43
  to
• 39:43
  them.
• 39:43
  So
• 39:43
  that
• 39:43
  was.
• 39:44
  I
• 39:44
  could
• 39:44
  get
• 39:44
  emotional
• 39:44
  now
• 39:45
  thinking
• 39:45
  about
• 39:45
  it,
• 39:46
  but
• 39:46
  it
• 39:46
  was
• 39:46
  a
• 39:47
  really
• 39:47
  great
• 39:47
  experience.
• 39:48
  That
• 39:48
  was
• 39:48
  wonderful.
• 39:49
  The
• 39:49
  second
• 39:49
  reading
• 39:50
  I
• 39:50
  did
• 39:50
  was
• 39:50
  at
• 39:50
  a
• 39:50
  school
• 39:51
  friend
• 39:51
  of
• 39:51
  mine
• 39:51
  also.
• 39:52
  She's.
• 39:52
  I'd
• 39:52
  love
• 39:52
  you
• 39:53
  to
• 39:53
  come
• 39:53
  and
• 39:53
  read
• 39:53
  to
• 39:53
  my.
• 39:54
  At
• 39:54
  my
• 39:54
  daughter's
• 39:54
  school
• 39:55
  again.
• 39:55
  I
• 39:55
  was
• 39:55
  honored.
• 39:56
  I
• 39:56
  did
• 39:56
  that
• 39:56
  again.
• 39:57
  Same
• 39:57
  same
• 39:57
  thing,
• 39:58
  same
• 39:58
  concept
• 39:58
  with
• 39:59
  the
• 39:59
  children.
• 39:59
  They
• 39:59
  were
• 39:59
  really
• 40:00
  excited
• 40:00
  about
• 40:01
  it.
• 40:01
  The
• 40:01
  groups
• 40:01
  were
• 40:02
  a
• 40:02
  little
• 40:02
  bit
• 40:02
  bigger
• 40:02
  in
• 40:03
  the
• 40:03
  second
• 40:03
  group
• 40:04
  than
• 40:04
  they
• 40:04
  were
• 40:04
  in
• 40:04
  the
• 40:04
  first
• 40:04
  group.
• 40:05
  But
• 40:05
  still
• 40:06
  just
• 40:06
  a
• 40:06
  great.
• 40:06
  So
• 40:06
  I
• 40:07
  was
• 40:07
  just
• 40:07
  adjusting
• 40:08
  to
• 40:08
  how
• 40:08
  I
• 40:08
  was
• 40:09
  presenting
• 40:10
  my
• 40:10
  information
• 40:10
  and
• 40:11
  my
• 40:11
  ideas
• 40:11
  to
• 40:11
  them.
• 40:11
  But
• 40:12
  it
• 40:12
  was
• 40:12
  just
• 40:12
  wonderful,
• 40:13
  really.
• 40:13
  Just
• 40:14
  both
• 40:14
  schools
• 40:15
  were
• 40:15
  really
• 40:15
  great.
• 40:16
  It
• 40:16
  was
• 40:16
  great
• 40:16
  experience.
• 40:17
  That's
• 40:18
  one
• 40:18
  of
• 40:18
  the
• 40:18
  best
• 40:18
  feelings
• 40:19
  when
• 40:19
  I'm
• 40:19
  reading
• 40:19
  to
• 40:19
  the
• 40:19
  children
• 40:20
  in
• 40:20
  the
• 40:20
  schools.
• 40:21
  Good
• 40:21
  for
• 40:21
  you.
• 40:22
  Thank
• 40:22
  you.
• 40:22
  Also,
• 40:23
  tell
• 40:23
  me
• 40:24
  about.
• 40:25
  Libraries
• 40:26
  are
• 40:26
  very
• 40:26
  important.
• 40:27
  I
• 40:27
  don't
• 40:28
  know
• 40:28
  if
• 40:28
  you
• 40:28
  have
• 40:28
  a
• 40:28
  library
• 40:29
  card,
• 40:29
  but
• 40:29
  I
• 40:29
  have
• 40:30
  a
• 40:30
  library
• 40:30
  card.
• 40:31
  Have
• 40:31
  you
• 40:31
  thought
• 40:32
  about
• 40:32
  reading
• 40:32
  at
• 40:33
  libraries
• 40:33
  and
• 40:34
  have
• 40:34
  you
• 40:34
  approached
• 40:35
  any
• 40:35
  yet?
• 40:36
  Yes,
• 40:36
  it's.
• 40:36
  It's
• 40:37
  so
• 40:37
  funny.
• 40:37
  Um,
• 40:37
  my
• 40:37
  son
• 40:38
  does
• 40:38
  an.
• 40:38
  An
• 40:38
  online
• 40:39
  library
• 40:40
  class.
• 40:40
  He
• 40:40
  does
• 40:41
  one.
• 40:41
  So
• 40:41
  they
• 40:41
  mentioned
• 40:42
  that
• 40:42
  if
• 40:42
  I
• 40:42
  wanted
• 40:42
  to
• 40:42
  share
• 40:43
  the
• 40:43
  book
• 40:43
  to
• 40:43
  them,
• 40:44
  I
• 40:44
  could.
• 40:44
  The
• 40:45
  children
• 40:45
  are
• 40:45
  a
• 40:45
  little
• 40:45
  young
• 40:46
  for
• 40:46
  that,
• 40:46
  so
• 40:46
  I
• 40:46
  think
• 40:46
  my
• 40:47
  book's
• 40:47
  a
• 40:47
  little
• 40:47
  bit
• 40:47
  more
• 40:47
  of
• 40:48
  a.
• 40:48
  That
• 40:48
  the
• 40:49
  level
• 40:49
  is
• 40:49
  a
• 40:49
  little
• 40:49
  different,
• 40:50
  but
• 40:50
  still,
• 40:50
  it's
• 40:50
  great
• 40:51
  to
• 40:51
  have
• 40:51
  exposure
• 40:52
  and
• 40:52
  experience.
• 40:53
  And
• 40:53
  I.
• 40:53
  In
• 40:54
  terms
• 40:54
  of
• 40:54
  libraries
• 40:54
  in
• 40:55
  my
• 40:55
  area,
• 40:55
  I
• 40:55
  have
• 40:55
  not
• 40:56
  yet
• 40:56
  approached
• 40:56
  them
• 40:56
  just
• 40:57
  like
• 40:57
  the.
• 40:57
  In
• 40:57
  person,
• 40:58
  but
• 40:58
  I
• 40:58
  would
• 40:59
  really
• 40:59
  love
• 40:59
  to.
• 40:59
  I
• 41:00
  did
• 41:00
  another
• 41:01
  book
• 41:01
  reading
• 41:01
  at.
• 41:02
  A
• 41:02
  lot
• 41:02
  of
• 41:02
  it
• 41:02
  came
• 41:02
  from
• 41:03
  my
• 41:03
  son.
• 41:03
  The
• 41:03
  things
• 41:03
  that
• 41:03
  I've
• 41:04
  taken
• 41:04
  him
• 41:04
  to
• 41:04
  play
• 41:05
  places
• 41:06
  he
• 41:06
  takes
• 41:06
  a
• 41:06
  Zoombini
• 41:07
  class.
• 41:07
  I
• 41:07
  did
• 41:07
  a
• 41:07
  reading
• 41:07
  there.
• 41:08
  So
• 41:08
  those
• 41:09
  places
• 41:09
  I've
• 41:09
  been
• 41:10
  to.
• 41:10
  But
• 41:10
  libraries
• 41:11
  would
• 41:11
  be
• 41:11
  fantastic.
• 41:12
  I
• 41:12
  just
• 41:12
  haven't.
• 41:12
  I
• 41:13
  haven't
• 41:13
  gone
• 41:13
  to
• 41:13
  my
• 41:13
  local
• 41:14
  library
• 41:14
  to
• 41:14
  show
• 41:14
  them
• 41:14
  the
• 41:14
  book
• 41:15
  yet.
• 41:15
  I
• 41:15
  want
• 41:15
  to
• 41:15
  delve
• 41:16
  a
• 41:16
  little
• 41:16
  bit
• 41:16
  more
• 41:16
  into
• 41:17
  your
• 41:17
  role
• 41:18
  of
• 41:18
  writing
• 41:19
  and
• 41:19
  the
• 41:19
  reason
• 41:20
  I
• 41:20
  know
• 41:20
  we're
• 41:20
  getting
• 41:21
  a
• 41:21
  sense
• 41:21
  of
• 41:22
  who
• 41:22
  you
• 41:22
  are
• 41:23
  as
• 41:23
  a
• 41:23
  children's
• 41:23
  book
• 41:24
  author.
• 41:24
  I
• 41:25
  noticed
• 41:25
  on
• 41:26
  your
• 41:26
  Instagram
• 41:27
  account,
• 41:27
  and
• 41:28
  again,
• 41:28
  I
• 41:28
  hope
• 41:29
  you
• 41:29
  don't
• 41:29
  find
• 41:29
  that
• 41:29
  I'm
• 41:30
  being
• 41:30
  critical.
• 41:30
  This
• 41:31
  is
• 41:31
  not.
• 41:32
  I
• 41:32
  noticed
• 41:33
  on
• 41:33
  your
• 41:33
  Instagram
• 41:34
  account
• 41:34
  you
• 41:35
  don't
• 41:35
  mention
• 41:36
  yourself
• 41:37
  as
• 41:37
  a
• 41:37
  children's
• 41:38
  book
• 41:38
  author.
• 41:39
  The
• 41:39
  only
• 41:39
  way
• 41:40
  is
• 41:40
  you
• 41:40
  have
• 41:41
  a
• 41:41
  link
• 41:41
  to
• 41:42
  Amazon,
• 41:43
  to
• 41:43
  your
• 41:43
  book.
• 41:44
  And
• 41:44
  I
• 41:44
  thought
• 41:45
  being.
• 41:45
  Being
• 41:45
  a
• 41:46
  children's
• 41:46
  book
• 41:46
  author,
• 41:47
  like,
• 41:47
  I'm
• 41:48
  pretty
• 41:48
  darn
• 41:48
  proud
• 41:49
  of
• 41:49
  that.
• 41:50
  And
• 41:50
  I'm
• 41:50
  just
• 41:50
  curious
• 41:51
  on
• 41:52
  why
• 41:53
  you
• 41:53
  haven't
• 41:54
  got
• 41:54
  up
• 41:54
  on
• 41:55
  the
• 41:55
  top
• 41:56
  of
• 41:56
  the
• 41:56
  school
• 41:56
  or
• 41:57
  whatever
• 41:57
  and
• 41:58
  shouted
• 41:58

  to

  it,
• 42:59
  I'll
• 42:59
  say,
• 42:59
  because
• 43:00
  I
• 43:00
  first.
• 43:00
  That
• 43:00
  was
• 43:01
  just
• 43:01
  as
• 43:01
  I
• 43:01
  said
• 43:01
  before
• 43:02
  the
• 43:02
  idea
• 43:02
  came
• 43:02
  to
• 43:03
  me.
• 43:03
  It
• 43:03
  happened
• 43:03
  to
• 43:03
  be
• 43:04
  put
• 43:04
  out
• 43:04
  there.
• 43:05
  And
• 43:05
  I'm.
• 43:06
  I'm
• 43:06
  also
• 43:06
  putting
• 43:06
  time
• 43:07
  into
• 43:07
  reaching
• 43:08
  out
• 43:08
  to
• 43:08
  schools
• 43:09
  and
• 43:09
  getting.
• 43:10
  Getting
• 43:10
  those
• 43:10
  events
• 43:11
  that
• 43:11
  I
• 43:11
  can
• 43:11
  set
• 43:11
  up
• 43:11
  for.
• 43:12
  For
• 43:12
  the
• 43:12
  book.
• 43:12
  But
• 43:12
  actual
• 43:13
  writing,
• 43:13
  I
• 43:14
  started
• 43:14
  to
• 43:14
  just
• 43:14
  spend.
• 43:15
  It's
• 43:15
  not
• 43:16
  so
• 43:16
  much
• 43:16
  time.
• 43:16
  It's
• 43:17
  just
• 43:17
  like
• 43:17
  maybe
• 43:17
  10
• 43:18
  minutes
• 43:18
  a
• 43:18
  day.
• 43:18
  I
• 43:18
  do
• 43:19
  write
• 43:19
  some
• 43:19
  ideas
• 43:19
  down,
• 43:20
  not.
• 43:20
  Quite
• 43:20
  putting
• 43:21
  a
• 43:21
  buck
• 43:21
  into
• 43:21
  it.
• 43:22
  You're
• 43:22
  putting
• 43:23
  about
• 43:23
  20
• 43:23
  cents.
• 43:24
  Yeah,
• 43:24
  it's
• 43:25
  maybe
• 43:25
  about
• 43:25
  20
• 43:25
  cents.
• 43:26
  I
• 43:26
  couldn't
• 43:26
  resist.
• 43:27
  That's
• 43:28
  a
• 43:28
  good
• 43:28
  one.
• 43:28
  I.
• 43:29
  Yeah,
• 43:29
  I
• 43:29
  put
• 43:29
  a
• 43:29
  little
• 43:30
  bit
• 43:30
  of
• 43:30
  time
• 43:30
  with
• 43:30
  my.
• 43:31
  I.
• 43:31
  I
• 43:31
  also
• 43:32
  have.
• 43:32
  I
• 43:32
  feel
• 43:32
  like
• 43:32
  my.
• 43:33
  With
• 43:33
  my
• 43:33
  son
• 43:33
  being
• 43:34
  like
• 43:34
  a
• 43:34
  busy,
• 43:34
  active
• 43:35
  toddler,
• 43:35
  I
• 43:35
  have
• 43:36
  just
• 43:36
  sometimes
• 43:37
  when
• 43:37
  I
• 43:37
  have
• 43:37
  pockets
• 43:37
  of
• 43:38
  time,
• 43:38
  I
• 43:38
  put
• 43:38
  a
• 43:39
  little
• 43:39
  bit
• 43:39
  of
• 43:39
  time
• 43:39
  into
• 43:39
  writing
• 43:40
  because
• 43:40
  I
• 43:41
  think
• 43:41
  it's.
• 43:41
  It
• 43:42
  makes
• 43:42
  me
• 43:42
  happy,
• 43:42
  too.
• 43:43
  It
• 43:43
  brings
• 43:43
  me
• 43:43
  a
• 43:43
  lot
• 43:43
  of
• 43:43
  joy.
• 43:44
  It's
• 43:44
  just
• 43:44
  my.
• 43:44
  But
• 43:45
  even
• 43:45
  if
• 43:45
  it's
• 43:45
  not
• 43:45
  the
• 43:46
  actual
• 43:46
  book
• 43:46
  itself,
• 43:47
  it's
• 43:47
  ideas
• 43:47
  or
• 43:48
  something
• 43:48
  down
• 43:48
  on
• 43:48
  page.
• 43:49
  On
• 43:49
  a
• 43:49
  page,
• 43:50
  you
• 43:50
  know,
• 43:50
  to
• 43:50
  get
• 43:51
  something
• 43:51
  out
• 43:51
  there.
• 43:52
  Good
• 43:52
  for
• 43:52
  you.
• 43:53
  This
• 43:53
  isn't
• 43:53
  quite
• 43:54
  the
• 43:54
  end
• 43:54
  of
• 43:54
  our
• 43:55
  interview,
• 43:55
  but
• 43:55
  I
• 43:56
  wanted.
• 43:56
  Because
• 43:57
  I
• 43:57
  described
• 43:58
  at
• 43:58
  the
• 43:58
  beginning
• 43:59
  about

  all
• 44:00
  the

• 44:04
  I
• 44:04
  wanted
• 44:05
  to
• 44:05
  save
• 44:05
  it
• 44:05
  closer
• 44:06
  to
• 44:06
  the
• 44:06
  end
• 44:06
  because
• 44:06
  I
• 44:06
  wanted
• 44:07
  people
• 44:07
  to
• 44:07
  get
• 44:07
  a
• 44:08
  sense
• 44:08
  of
• 44:08
  who.

  Who

  one
• 44:15
  more
• 44:15
  time.

• 45:08
  And
• 45:08
  I
• 45:09
  really,
• 45:09
  I
• 45:10
  reached
• 45:10
  out
• 45:10
  to
• 45:10
  you
• 45:11
  because
• 45:11
  I
• 45:12
  felt,
• 45:12
  I
• 45:12
  just
• 45:12
  feel
• 45:13
  such
• 45:13
  a
• 45:13
  warmth
• 45:13
  from
• 45:14
  you
• 45:14
  and
• 45:14
  such
• 45:14
  a.
• 45:15
  You
• 45:15
  very,
• 45:15
  you're
• 45:16
  always
• 45:16
  very
• 45:16
  welcoming.
• 45:17
  I
• 45:17
  feel
• 45:17
  it
• 45:17
  today,
• 45:17
  obviously,
• 45:18
  but
• 45:18
  also
• 45:18
  always
• 45:18
  very
• 45:18
  welcoming
• 45:19
  to
• 45:19
  your
• 45:19
  guests
• 45:20
  and
• 45:20
  I
• 45:20
  know
• 45:20
  how
• 45:20
  important
• 45:20
  your
• 45:21
  grandchildren
• 45:21
  are
• 45:21
  to
• 45:21
  you
• 45:22
  and
• 45:22
  your
• 45:22
  family.
• 45:22
  So
• 45:22
  I
• 45:22
  wanted
• 45:23
  to
• 45:23
  send
• 45:23
  it
• 45:23
  out
• 45:23
  to
• 45:23
  you.
• 45:24
  I,
• 45:24
  I
• 45:25
  thought
• 45:25
  about
• 45:25
  a
• 45:25
  few
• 45:26
  podcasts
• 45:28
  that
• 45:28
  I
• 45:28
  listened
• 45:28
  to.
• 45:28
  I
• 45:29
  thought
• 45:29
  about
• 45:29
  a
• 45:29
  few
• 45:30
  people
• 45:30
  that
• 45:30
  I
• 45:31
  admire
• 45:32
  and
• 45:32
  I
• 45:33
  said
• 45:33
  to
• 45:33
  myself,
• 45:33
  I
• 45:34
  want
• 45:34
  to
• 45:35
  do
• 45:35
  something
• 45:35
  different.
• 45:36
  I
• 45:36
  don't
• 45:36
  want
• 45:36
  to
• 45:36
  just
• 45:37
  send
• 45:37
  the
• 45:37
  book
• 45:37
  or
• 45:37
  I
• 45:37
  don't
• 45:38
  want
• 45:38
  to
• 45:38
  just
• 45:38
  reach
• 45:39
  out
• 45:39
  and
• 45:40
  apply
• 45:40
  to
• 45:40
  be
• 45:41
  part
• 45:41
  of
• 45:41
  a
• 45:41
  podcast.
• 45:42
  I,
• 45:42
  I
• 45:42
  want
• 45:43
  someone
• 45:43
  to
• 45:43
  see
• 45:43
  it
• 45:43
  and
• 45:44
  I
• 45:44
  want
• 45:44
  that
• 45:44
  person
• 45:45
  to.
• 45:45
  They
• 45:45
  like
• 45:45
  it,
• 45:45
  they'll
• 45:46
  reach
• 45:46
  out.
• 45:46
  But
• 45:46
  I
• 45:46
  also,
• 45:47
  I'm
• 45:47
  a
• 45:47
  very.
• 45:47
  I
• 45:48
  love
• 45:48
  themes.
• 45:49
  I've.
• 45:49
  All
• 45:50
  of
• 45:50
  my
• 45:50
  students
• 45:50
  and
• 45:51
  all
• 45:51
  of
• 45:51
  my
• 45:52
  family,
• 45:52
  they
• 45:52
  know
• 45:53
  I'm.
• 45:53
  If
• 45:53
  I'm
• 45:53
  gonna
• 45:54
  do
• 45:54
  a
• 45:54
  party
• 45:54
  and
• 45:54
  it
• 45:55
  has
• 45:55
  a
• 45:55
  theme,
• 45:55
  I
• 45:55
  go
• 45:55
  all
• 45:56
  out
• 45:56
  with
• 45:56
  the
• 45:56
  theme.
• 45:57
  So
• 45:57
  this
• 45:57
  was
• 45:57
  where
• 45:57
  I
• 45:58
  said
• 45:58
  I
• 45:58
  want
• 45:58
  to
• 45:59
  put
• 45:59
  everything
• 45:59
  that
• 46:00
  I
• 46:00
  can
• 46:00
  think
• 46:00
  of
• 46:01
  that
• 46:01
  can
• 46:01
  apply
• 46:01
  to
• 46:01
  the
• 46:01
  book.
• 46:02
  Like
• 46:02
  piggy
• 46:02
  banks
• 46:03
  and
• 46:03
  me,
• 46:03
  the
• 46:03
  clocks.
• 46:04
  Like,
• 46:04
  I
• 46:04
  just,
• 46:05
  I
• 46:05
  wanted
• 46:05
  something
• 46:05
  that
• 46:06
  set
• 46:06
  the
• 46:06
  book
• 46:06
  apart
• 46:07
  from
• 46:07
  other
• 46:08
  stories.
• 46:08
  Even
• 46:08
  every.
• 46:09
  I,
• 46:09
  as
• 46:09
  I
• 46:09
  admire
• 46:10
  all
• 46:10
  different
• 46:10
  children
• 46:10
  book
• 46:11
  authors
• 46:11
  and
• 46:11
  all
• 46:12
  stories,
• 46:12
  but
• 46:12
  I
• 46:12
  wanted
• 46:13
  to
• 46:13
  put
• 46:13
  a
• 46:13
  little
• 46:13
  of
• 46:13
  myself
• 46:14
  into
• 46:14
  it.
• 46:14
  And
• 46:15
  as
• 46:15
  I
• 46:15
  said,
• 46:15
  when
• 46:15
  I,
• 46:16
  when
• 46:16
  somebody
• 46:16
  has
• 46:16
  a
• 46:16
  birthday
• 46:17
  or
• 46:17
  a
• 46:17
  holiday,
• 46:18
  I'm
• 46:18
  like,
• 46:18
  what
• 46:18
  I.
• 46:19
  How
• 46:19
  I
• 46:19
  wrap
• 46:19
  things,
• 46:20
  I
• 46:20
  always
• 46:20
  have
• 46:21
  some
• 46:21
  kind
• 46:21
  of
• 46:21
  theme
• 46:22
  to
• 46:22
  it.
• 46:22
  So
• 46:22
  this
• 46:22
  is
• 46:23
  why
• 46:23
  when
• 46:23
  I
• 46:23
  opened
• 46:24
  the
• 46:24
  box
• 46:24
  up
• 46:24
  and
• 46:24
  it
• 46:25
  even
• 46:25
  was
• 46:25
  purple
• 46:26
  inside,
• 46:26
  I
• 46:27
  went.
• 46:27
  And
• 46:28
  that's
• 46:28
  one
• 46:28
  of
• 46:28
  the.
• 46:29
  Like
• 46:29
  my,
• 46:29
  all
• 46:30
  three
• 46:30
  of
• 46:30
  my
• 46:30
  granddaughters,
• 46:31
  their
• 46:32
  favorite
• 46:33
  color
• 46:33
  purple,
• 46:34
  purple
• 46:34
  and
• 46:35
  pink.
• 46:35
  Even
• 46:35
  the
• 46:36
  pajamas
• 46:36
  that
• 46:37
  we
• 46:37
  bought
• 46:37
  yesterday
• 46:38
  for
• 46:39
  we,
• 46:39
  we
• 46:40
  actually
• 46:40
  celebrated
• 46:41
  Christmas
• 46:41
  yesterday,
• 46:42
  just
• 46:42
  the
• 46:43
  way
• 46:43
  family
• 46:43
  situation
• 46:44
  worked
• 46:44
  out.
• 46:44
  But
• 46:45
  even
• 46:45
  the
• 46:45
  pajamas
• 46:46
  were
• 46:47
  pink
• 46:47
  and
• 46:47
  purple.
• 46:48
  Those
• 46:48
  are
• 46:48
  my
• 46:48
  favorite
• 46:48
  colors
• 46:49
  too,
• 46:49
  pink
• 46:49
  and
• 46:49
  purple.
• 46:50
  So
• 46:50
  purple.
• 46:50
  Purple
• 46:51
  is
• 46:51
  my
• 46:51
  first
• 46:51
  favorite
• 46:52
  color.
• 46:52
  So
• 46:52
  that's
• 46:52
  where
• 46:53
  I
• 46:53
  got
• 46:53
  the
• 46:53
  idea
• 46:53
  of
• 46:53
  the.
• 46:54
  Even
• 46:54
  the
• 46:54
  book
• 46:54
  itself,
• 46:55
  the
• 46:55
  COVID
• 46:55
  there's
• 46:56
  a
• 46:56
  lot
• 46:56
  of
• 46:56
  purple
• 46:56
  in
• 46:56
  it.
• 46:57
  That
• 46:57
  was
• 46:57
  something
• 46:57
  I
• 46:57
  did
• 46:57
  ask
• 46:58
  my
• 46:58
  illustrator.
• 46:59
  I
• 46:59
  wanted
• 46:59
  to
• 46:59
  have
• 46:59
  that.
• 47:00
  Those
• 47:00
  colors
• 47:00
  in
• 47:00
  there.
• 47:01
  Wow.
• 47:01
  Fantastic.
• 47:02
  Oh,
• 47:03
  thank
• 47:03
  you.
• 47:03
  It
• 47:04
  means
• 47:04
  so
• 47:04
  much
• 47:04
  that
• 47:04
  you
• 47:05
  enjoyed
• 47:05
  the
• 47:05
  book.
• 47:05
  The
• 47:06
  book
• 47:06
  package
• 47:06
  too,
• 47:07
  because
• 47:07
  I
• 47:07
  was
• 47:07
  really
• 47:07
  excited
• 47:08
  about
• 47:08
  putting
• 47:08
  that
• 47:08
  together.
• 47:09
  I
• 47:09
  have
• 47:09
  to
• 47:09
  tell
• 47:09
  you
• 47:10
  something
• 47:10
  in
• 47:10
  my
• 47:11
  office.
• 47:12
  I
• 47:12
  have
• 47:12
  show
• 47:13
  you
• 47:13
  this.
• 47:13
  You're
• 47:13
  going
• 47:14
  to
• 47:14
  say,
• 47:14
  what
• 47:14
  the
• 47:14
  heck
• 47:14
  is
• 47:14
  he
• 47:15
  doing?
• 47:15
  Okay.
• 47:15
  I
• 47:16
  don't
• 47:16
  know
• 47:16
  if
• 47:17
  you
• 47:17
  can
• 47:17
  see
• 47:17
  there's
• 47:17
  a
• 47:18
  bear,
• 47:18
  a
• 47:19
  Christmas
• 47:19
  tree
• 47:20
  bear.
• 47:20
  Yes.
• 47:21
  You're
• 47:21
  thinking,
• 47:22
  oh,
• 47:22
  my
• 47:22
  God,
• 47:22
  what's
• 47:23
  this
• 47:23
  guy?
• 47:23
  So
• 47:23
  cute.
• 47:24
  Because
• 47:24
  my
• 47:25
  granddaughter,
• 47:25
  my
• 47:26
  oldest
• 47:26
  granddaughter
• 47:27
  and
• 47:27
  I
• 47:27
  had
• 47:27
  this
• 47:27
  fascination
• 47:28
  with.
• 47:29
  Because
• 47:29
  our
• 47:29
  name,
• 47:29
  our
• 47:30
  main
• 47:30
  character's
• 47:31
  name
• 47:31
  is
• 47:31
  caboose,
• 47:32
  and
• 47:33
  caboose
• 47:34
  is
• 47:34
  spelled
• 47:35
  with
• 47:35
  a
• 47:35
  K.
• 47:36
  Because
• 47:36
  my
• 47:37
  oldest
• 47:37
  granddaughter,
• 47:38
  her
• 47:38
  name
• 47:38
  is
• 47:39
  Kira,
• 47:39
  which
• 47:39
  starts
• 47:40
  with
• 47:40
  a
• 47:40
  K.
• 47:41
  And
• 47:41
  so
• 47:41
  that's
• 47:41
  how
• 47:41
  we
• 47:42
  came
• 47:42
  up
• 47:42
  with
• 47:42
  the
• 47:42
  name.
• 47:43
  We
• 47:43
  came
• 47:44
  up
• 47:44
  with
• 47:44
  the
• 47:44
  name
• 47:44
  from
• 47:44
  Caboose
• 47:45
  because
• 47:45
  her.
• 47:45
  Of
• 47:46
  her
• 47:46
  fascination
• 47:46
  with
• 47:47
  cabooses.
• 47:48
  And
• 47:49
  it
• 47:49
  was
• 47:49
  because
• 47:50
  of
• 47:50
  my
• 47:50
  dad's
• 47:50
  toy
• 47:51
  train
• 47:51
  that
• 47:51
  I
• 47:52
  have
• 47:52
  put
• 47:52
  in
• 47:52
  a
• 47:52
  shadow
• 47:53
  box.
• 47:53
  Because
• 47:54
  if
• 47:54
  you
• 47:54
  look
• 47:54
  nowadays
• 47:55
  and
• 47:56
  there
• 47:56
  hasn't
• 47:56
  been
• 47:57
  cabooses
• 47:58
  around
• 47:59
  for
• 47:59
  25
• 48:00
  years
• 48:00
  because
• 48:01
  they
• 48:01
  stop
• 48:01
  using
• 48:02
  them.
• 48:02
  And
• 48:03
  so
• 48:03
  the
• 48:03
  only
• 48:03
  way
• 48:03
  you
• 48:03
  get
• 48:04
  to
• 48:04
  see
• 48:04
  them
• 48:04
  is
• 48:05
  go
• 48:05
  to
• 48:05
  a
• 48:05
  park
• 48:06
  where
• 48:06
  they
• 48:06
  might
• 48:06
  have
• 48:07
  a
• 48:07
  train
• 48:08
  and
• 48:08
  they
• 48:08
  have
• 48:09
  a
• 48:09
  caboose
• 48:09
  or
• 48:09
  whatever.
• 48:10
  But
• 48:10
  for
• 48:10
  children,
• 48:11
  they
• 48:11
  have
• 48:12
  no
• 48:12
  idea
• 48:13
  of
• 48:13
  the
• 48:13
  history
• 48:14
  behind

• 48:18
  Such
• 48:18
  a
• 48:18
  fun
• 48:18
  name.

  Yeah,

  I
• 48:19
  love

  name.
• 48:20
  We

  Christmas
• 48:21
  bear

  I
• 48:22
  have
• 48:22
  in
• 48:22
  my
• 48:22
  office.
• 48:23
  And
• 48:24
  every
• 48:24
  time
• 48:24
  we
• 48:25
  find
• 48:25
  a
• 48:25
  train
• 48:26
  ornament,
• 48:26
  we
• 48:27
  buy
• 48:27
  it
• 48:27
  and
• 48:27
  it
• 48:28
  goes
• 48:28
  on
• 48:28
  this
• 48:28
  tree.
• 48:29
  And
• 48:29
  of
• 48:29
  course,
• 48:29
  it
• 48:29
  comes
• 48:30
  out
• 48:30
  once
• 48:30
  a
• 48:30
  year.
• 48:31
  It's
• 48:31
  just
• 48:31
  something
• 48:31
  I
• 48:32
  do
• 48:32
  with
• 48:32
  the
• 48:32
  grandkids.
• 48:33
  And
• 48:33
  now
• 48:34
  they
• 48:34
  look
• 48:34
  for
• 48:35
  tree
• 48:35
  ornaments
• 48:36
  or
• 48:36
  train
• 48:37
  ornaments
• 48:37
  for
• 48:37
  me.
• 48:38
  Train.
• 48:38
  It's
• 48:38
  a
• 48:38
  theme.
• 48:39
  Absolutely.
• 48:40
  And
• 48:40
  that's
• 48:41
  what
• 48:41
  I
• 48:41
  want.
• 48:41
  Are
• 48:41
  you
• 48:42
  talking
• 48:42
  about
• 48:42
  theming
• 48:43
  it
• 48:43
  and
• 48:44
  how
• 48:44
  you've
• 48:44
  taken
• 48:45
  it
• 48:45
  to
• 48:45
  another
• 48:46
  level?
• 48:46
  And
• 48:46
  I
• 48:47
  just
• 48:47
  want
• 48:47
  people
• 48:48
  to
• 48:48
  realize
• 48:49
  that
• 48:49
  I
• 48:49
  always
• 48:50
  say
• 48:50
  in
• 48:51
  the
• 48:51
  show,
• 48:51
  I
• 48:51
  probably
• 48:52
  say
• 48:52
  this
• 48:52
  in
• 48:52
  every
• 48:53
  show,
• 48:53
  is
• 48:54
  that
• 48:54
  there's
• 48:54
  no
• 48:55
  right
• 48:55
  or
• 48:55
  wrong
• 48:55
  way
• 48:56
  to
• 48:56
  do
• 48:56
  things.
• 48:57
  When
• 48:57
  you're
• 48:57
  starting
• 48:58
  to
• 48:58
  promote
• 48:58
  your
• 48:59
  book,
• 48:59
  some
• 49:00
  people
• 49:01
  use
• 49:01
  a
• 49:01
  PR
• 49:02
  firm,
• 49:03
  and
• 49:04
  that
• 49:04
  PR
• 49:04
  firm
• 49:05
  reaches
• 49:05
  out
• 49:05
  to
• 49:06
  you.
• 49:06
  Now,
• 49:06
  that
• 49:06
  comes
• 49:07
  at
• 49:07
  a
• 49:07
  cost.

  came

  cost.
• 49:14
  If

  you
• 49:15
  don't
• 49:15
  mind
• 49:15
  sharing,
• 49:16
  how

  Seven,

  Yeah,

  Not
• 49:23

  But

• 50:06
  Someone
• 50:07
  who
• 50:07
  I
• 50:07
  felt
• 50:08
  I
• 50:08
  was
• 50:08
  thinking
• 50:08
  of

  people

  that

  I

  would
• 50:10
  really
• 50:10
  enjoy
• 50:10
  the
• 50:10
  package.
• 50:11
  But
• 50:11
  also
• 50:11
  this
• 50:11
  person
• 50:12
  was
• 50:12
  someone
• 50:12
  who
• 50:13
  I
• 50:13
  felt
• 50:13
  inspired

  me

  throughout
• 50:14
  the
• 50:15
  year
• 50:15
  to.
• 50:15
  To
• 50:15
  achieve
• 50:16
  goals.
• 50:16
  So
• 50:16
  I,
• 50:17
  I
• 50:17
  mentioned
• 50:17
  and
• 50:18
  I
• 50:18
  personalized
• 50:19
  each.
• 50:20
  Each
• 50:20
  book,
• 50:20
  what
• 50:20
  I
• 50:21
  wrote
• 50:21
  inside
• 50:21
  of
• 50:21
  the
• 50:21
  books,
• 50:22
  like
• 50:22
  I
• 50:22
  did
• 50:22
  for
• 50:22
  you
• 50:22
  also.
• 50:23
  And
• 50:23
  I
• 50:24
  wanted
• 50:24
  to
• 50:25
  let
• 50:25
  them
• 50:25
  know
• 50:25
  that
• 50:25
  I
• 50:25
  appreciated
• 50:26
  like
• 50:26
  the
• 50:27
  confidence
• 50:27
  I
• 50:27
  was
• 50:27
  given
• 50:27
  to
• 50:28
  do
• 50:28
  the
• 50:28
  book.
• 50:28
  So
• 50:28
  that
• 50:28
  was
• 50:29
  something
• 50:29
  I
• 50:29
  mentioned
• 50:30
  and
• 50:30
  that
• 50:30
  was
• 50:30
  an
• 50:30
  honor
• 50:31
  to
• 50:31
  receive
• 50:31
  a
• 50:32
  message
• 50:32
  back
• 50:32
  from
• 50:32
  her.
• 50:33
  Some
• 50:33
  people
• 50:33
  I
• 50:34
  didn't
• 50:34
  hear
• 50:34
  back
• 50:34
  from,
• 50:35
  which
• 50:35
  is
• 50:35
  also
• 50:35
  fine
• 50:36
  because
• 50:36
  you
• 50:36
  send
• 50:36
  it
• 50:37
  and
• 50:37
  you
• 50:37
  see
• 50:37
  where
• 50:37
  it
• 50:37
  goes,
• 50:38
  but
• 50:38
  those
• 50:38
  were
• 50:39
  you.
• 50:39
  And
• 50:39
  thank
• 50:39
  you
• 50:39
  for
• 50:40
  that.
• 50:40
  And
• 50:40
  then
• 50:40
  the
• 50:40
  two
• 50:41
  other
• 50:41
  messages
• 50:41
  were
• 50:42
  really
• 50:42
  appreciated.
• 50:43
  Another
• 50:43
  podcast
• 50:44
  that
• 50:44
  I
• 50:44
  was
• 50:44
  on,
• 50:45
  she
• 50:46
  also
• 50:46
  really
• 50:46
  appreciated
• 50:47
  the
• 50:47
  book
• 50:48
  package
• 50:48
  and
• 50:48
  I
• 50:48
  was
• 50:49
  honored
• 50:49
  to.
• 50:49
  So
• 50:50
  really,
• 50:50
  I
• 50:50
  would
• 50:50
  say
• 50:50
  four
• 50:50
  out
• 50:50
  of
• 50:51
  the
• 50:51
  seven
• 50:51
  got
• 50:51
  back
• 50:51
  to
• 50:52
  me
• 50:52
  with
• 50:52
  maybe
• 50:53
  about.
• 50:53
  Maybe
• 50:53
  seven.
• 50:53
  I
• 50:54
  would
• 50:54
  say
• 50:54
  about
• 50:54
  seven.
• 50:54
  I
• 50:54
  do.
• 50:55
  I
• 50:55
  know
• 50:55
  the
• 50:55
  exact
• 50:55
  number,
• 50:55
  but
• 50:56
  it
• 50:56
  wasn't
• 50:56
  a
• 50:56
  ton.
• 50:57
  But
• 50:57
  it
• 50:57
  was
• 50:57
  the
• 50:58
  people
• 50:58
  I
• 50:58
  felt
• 50:59
  who
• 50:59
  would
• 50:59
  really
• 50:59
  enjoy
• 50:59
  the
• 51:00
  book.
• 51:00
  Wow.
• 51:01
  That
• 51:02
  phenomenal.
• 51:02
  And
• 51:02
  it's
• 51:02
  just,
• 51:03
  it's
• 51:03
  nice
• 51:03
  to
• 51:04
  share.
• 51:04
  You
• 51:04
  can't
• 51:05
  expect
• 51:05
  everything
• 51:06
  that
• 51:06
  you
• 51:06
  send
• 51:06
  out
• 51:06
  in
• 51:07
  to
• 51:07
  the
• 51:07
  world
• 51:08
  will
• 51:08
  come
• 51:09
  back
• 51:09
  to
• 51:09
  you,
• 51:10
  but
• 51:10
  you
• 51:10
  deserve
• 51:11
  anything
• 51:11
  that
• 51:11
  comes
• 51:12
  back
• 51:12
  at
• 51:12
  you.
• 51:13
  What
• 51:13

• 51:13
  great
• 51:13
  job.
• 51:13
  And
• 51:14
  I
• 51:14
  just
• 51:15
  encourage
• 51:16
  other
• 51:16
  aspiring
• 51:17
  authors
• 51:17
  to
• 51:18
  know
• 51:18
  that,
• 51:18
  you
• 51:19
  know
• 51:19
  what,
• 51:19
  what
• 51:20
  Tanya
• 51:21
  did
• 51:21
  was
• 51:21
  very
• 51:22
  special.
• 51:22
  And
• 51:23
  there's
• 51:24
  more
• 51:24
  than
• 51:24
  one
• 51:25
  way
• 51:25
  to
• 51:26
  promote
• 51:26
  your
• 51:26
  book.
• 51:27
  And
• 51:27
  not
• 51:28
  to
• 51:28
  get
• 51:28
  into
• 51:28
  the
• 51:29
  weeds
• 51:29
  too
• 51:29
  much
• 51:30
  here,
• 51:30
  but
• 51:30
  so
• 51:31
  the
• 51:31
  two
• 51:31
  people
• 51:32
  that
• 51:32
  were
• 51:32
  not.
• 51:33
  One
• 51:33
  was
• 51:33
  a
• 51:33
  children's
• 51:34
  book
• 51:34
  author,
• 51:34
  one
• 51:35
  was
• 51:35
  an
• 51:35
  influencer.
• 51:36
  And
• 51:36
  then
• 51:37
  have
• 51:37
  they
• 51:37
  helped
• 51:38
  you
• 51:38
  at
• 51:38
  all
• 51:39
  in
• 51:39
  promoting
• 51:40
  your
• 51:40
  book?
• 51:41
  Caster1
• 51:41
  and
• 51:41
  I
• 51:42
  would
• 51:42
  say
• 51:42
  the
• 51:42
  person
• 51:42
  who
• 51:42
  was
• 51:42
  a
• 51:42
  pod
• 51:43
  on
• 51:43
  a
• 51:43
  podcast
• 51:44
  that
• 51:44
  I
• 51:45
  reached
• 51:45
  out
• 51:45
  to,
• 51:45
  she
• 51:45
  was.
• 51:46
  She
• 51:46
  put
• 51:46
  it
• 51:46
  out
• 51:46
  there
• 51:47
  for
• 51:47
  me
• 51:47
  as
• 51:47
  similar
• 51:47
  to
• 51:48
  how
• 51:48
  you
• 51:48
  are,
• 51:49
  which
• 51:49
  was
• 51:49
  wonderful.
• 51:50
  The
• 51:50
  others
• 51:50
  were,
• 51:51
  I
• 51:51
  would
• 51:51
  say,
• 51:51
  not
• 51:52
  so
• 51:52
  much
• 51:52
  that
• 51:52
  they
• 51:52
  helped
• 51:53
  me
• 51:53
  promote
• 51:53
  the
• 51:53
  book,
• 51:54
  but
• 51:54
  gave
• 51:54
  me
• 51:54
  the
• 51:54
  confidence.
• 51:55
  The
• 51:55
  first
• 51:55
  one
• 51:56
  who
• 51:56
  was
• 51:56
  an
• 51:56
  author,
• 51:57
  she
• 51:57
  actually
• 51:58
  did
• 51:58
  give
• 51:58
  me
• 51:58
  some
• 51:58
  advice
• 51:59
  prior
• 51:59
  to
• 51:59
  writing
• 51:59
  the
• 51:59
  book.
• 52:00
  It
• 52:00
  was
• 52:00
  also
• 52:00
  appreciated
• 52:01
  because
• 52:01
  she
• 52:01
  told
• 52:02
  me.
• 52:02
  She
• 52:02
  gave
• 52:02
  me
• 52:02
  some
• 52:03
  information
• 52:03
  in
• 52:03
  terms
• 52:03
  of
• 52:04
  what
• 52:04
  to
• 52:04
  do.
• 52:04
  It
• 52:04
  was
• 52:05
  like
• 52:05
  I
• 52:05
  just
• 52:05
  reached
• 52:05
  out
• 52:06
  to
• 52:06
  her
• 52:06
  and
• 52:06
  she
• 52:07
  sent
• 52:07
  me
• 52:07
  an
• 52:07
  article
• 52:08
  about
• 52:08
  if
• 52:08
  you're
• 52:08
  a
• 52:09
  beginning
• 52:09
  writer.
• 52:09
  But
• 52:09
  it
• 52:09
  was
• 52:10
  a
• 52:10
  writer,
• 52:10
  general
• 52:10
  writer,
• 52:11
  even.
• 52:11
  Just
• 52:12
  not
• 52:12
  just
• 52:12
  for
• 52:12
  children's
• 52:13
  book
• 52:13
  authors.
• 52:13
  Just
• 52:13
  like,
• 52:14
  what
• 52:14
  would
• 52:14
  be.
• 52:14
  That's
• 52:14
  how
• 52:14
  I
• 52:14
  found
• 52:15
  out
• 52:15
  about
• 52:15
  if
• 52:15
  you
• 52:15
  wanted
• 52:16
  to
• 52:16
  get
• 52:16
  a
• 52:16
  literary
• 52:16
  agent.
• 52:17
  So
• 52:18
  that
• 52:18
  was.
• 52:18
  So
• 52:18
  she
• 52:19
  absolutely
• 52:19
  helped
• 52:20
  me
• 52:20
  with
• 52:20
  the
• 52:20
  process.
• 52:21
  The
• 52:21
  other
• 52:22
  person
• 52:22
  for
• 52:22
  the
• 52:22
  podcast.
• 52:23
  Yes,
• 52:23
  for
• 52:23
  sure.
• 52:23
  And
• 52:24
  then
• 52:24
  the
• 52:24
  other
• 52:24
  one
• 52:24
  was
• 52:24
  just
• 52:25
  really.
• 52:25
  I
• 52:25
  appreciated
• 52:26
  so
• 52:26

  really.
• 52:32
  It's.
• 52:32

  was.
• 52:33
  It's

  so
• 52:33
  sweet.
• 52:33
  But
• 52:33
  you're.
• 52:34
  I
• 52:34
  feel
• 52:34
  like
• 52:34
  you're.
• 52:35
  You're.
• 52:35
  The
• 52:36
  excitement
• 52:36
  you
• 52:36
  have
• 52:37
  about
• 52:37
  the
• 52:37
  package
• 52:37
  was
• 52:38
  the
• 52:38
  most
• 52:38
  I've
• 52:38
  received.
• 52:39
  So
• 52:39
  thank
• 52:39
  you.
• 52:39
  I
• 52:40
  got
• 52:40
  to
• 52:40
  tell
• 52:40
  you
• 52:40
  one
• 52:40
  more
• 52:41
  thing.
• 52:41
  I.
• 52:42
  Pure
• 52:43
  package.
• 52:43
  And
• 52:44
  I
• 52:44
  put
• 52:44
  it
• 52:44
  under
• 52:45
  the
• 52:45
  bare
• 52:46
  Christmas
• 52:46
  tree
• 52:46
  in
• 52:47
  my
• 52:47
  office
• 52:47
  because
• 52:48
  I
• 52:48
  knew
• 52:48
  my
• 52:48
  grandchildren
• 52:49
  were
• 52:49
  coming
• 52:50
  over
• 52:50
  last
• 52:50
  night.
• 52:51
  Every
• 52:51
  grandchild's
• 52:52
  different.
• 52:52
  So
• 52:52
  when
• 52:53
  you
• 52:53
  have
• 52:53
  your
• 52:53
  next
• 52:53
  child,
• 52:54
  I
• 52:54
  can
• 52:54
  tell
• 52:54
  you
• 52:55
  right
• 52:55
  now,
• 52:56
  every
• 52:56
  child
• 52:56
  is
• 52:57
  different.
• 52:57
  I
• 52:58
  knew
• 52:58
  one
• 52:58
  of
• 52:58
  them.
• 52:59
  She
• 52:59
  would
• 52:59
  be
• 53:00
  the
• 53:00
  most
• 53:00
  fascinated.
• 53:01
  And
• 53:01
  she
• 53:02
  was.
• 53:02
  But
• 53:02
  she
• 53:03
  waited
• 53:03
  till
• 53:04
  the
• 53:04
  very
• 53:04
  end
• 53:05
  before
• 53:05
  she
• 53:05
  talked
• 53:06
  to
• 53:06
  me
• 53:06
  about
• 53:06
  it.
• 53:07
  What's
• 53:07
  going
• 53:07
  to
• 53:08
  happen
• 53:08
  to.
• 53:08
  I.
• 53:09
  I
• 53:09
  couldn't.
• 53:10
  I
• 53:10
  said
• 53:10
  to
• 53:10
  her,
• 53:10
  I'm
• 53:11
  talking
• 53:11
  to
• 53:11
  Tanya
• 53:12
  tomorrow.
• 53:12
  So
• 53:13
  I
• 53:13
  just
• 53:13
  said
• 53:13
  that.
• 53:14
  So
• 53:14
  she's
• 53:14
  old
• 53:15
  enough
• 53:15
  to
• 53:15
  realize
• 53:16
  that
• 53:16
  I
• 53:17
  couldn't
• 53:17
  just
• 53:17
  bundle
• 53:18
  it
• 53:18
  up
• 53:18
  and
• 53:19
  send
• 53:19
  it
• 53:19
  home
• 53:19
  with
• 53:20
  her.
• 53:20
  So
• 53:21
  anyways.
• 53:21
  But
• 53:21
  I
• 53:21
  wanted
• 53:22
  you
• 53:22
  to
• 53:22
  know
• 53:23
  that
• 53:23
  I
• 53:24
  hadn't
• 53:24
  under
• 53:24
  the
• 53:25
  Christmas
• 53:25
  tree
• 53:25
  and
• 53:25
  she
• 53:25
  noticed
• 53:26
  it.
• 53:26
  This
• 53:26
  bundle
• 53:27
  we
• 53:27
  will
• 53:27
  be.
• 53:28
  Except
• 53:28
  for
• 53:28
  the
• 53:28
  book.
• 53:28
  I.
• 53:29
  That's
• 53:29
  why
• 53:29
  I
• 53:29
  got
• 53:29
  another
• 53:30
  one
• 53:30
  will
• 53:30
  be
• 53:31
  going
• 53:31
  to
• 53:31
  our
• 53:31
  youngest
• 53:32
  granddaughter.
• 53:32
  That's
• 53:32
  so
• 53:33
  sweet.
• 53:33
  Thank
• 53:33
  you.
• 53:33
  I'm
• 53:34
  so
• 53:34
  happy.
• 53:34
  That's
• 53:35
  so
• 53:35
  nice
• 53:35
  advice.
• 53:37
  You've
• 53:37
  definitely
• 53:37
  shared
• 53:38
  a
• 53:38
  lot
• 53:38
  of
• 53:38
  advice
• 53:39
  in
• 53:39
  being
• 53:39
  a
• 53:39
  children's
• 53:40
  book
• 53:40
  author.
• 53:40
  But
• 53:41
  would
• 53:41
  you
• 53:41
  have
• 53:42
  any
• 53:42
  other
• 53:43
  advice
• 53:43
  that
• 53:43
  you'd
• 53:44
  like
• 53:44
  to
• 53:44
  share
• 53:44
  with
• 53:44
  aspiring
• 53:45
  book
• 53:45
  authors
• 53:46
  who
• 53:46
  are
• 53:46
  thinking,
• 53:47
  how
• 53:47
  do
• 53:47
  I
• 53:48
  be
• 53:48
  like
• 53:48
  Tanya
• 53:49
  and
• 53:49
  how
• 53:49
  do.
• 53:49
  Like,
• 53:50
  how
• 53:50
  do
• 53:50
  I
• 53:50
  make
• 53:50
  this
• 53:51
  happen?
• 53:51
  I'm
• 53:52
  still
• 53:52
  learning.
• 53:53
  I
• 53:53
  feel
• 53:53
  like
• 53:53
  every
• 53:53
  day
• 53:54
  exactly
• 53:54
  what
• 53:54
  to
• 53:54
  do.
• 53:55
  But
• 53:55
  I
• 53:55
  think
• 53:55
  you
• 53:55
  have
• 53:55
  to
• 53:56
  be
• 53:56
  yourself
• 53:57
  and
• 53:57
  you
• 53:57
  have
• 53:57
  to
• 53:57
  be
• 53:57
  unique.
• 53:58
  Like
• 53:58
  the
• 53:58
  book
• 53:58
  package.
• 53:59
  That
• 54:00
  something
• 54:00
  I
• 54:00
  really
• 54:01
  wanted
• 54:01
  to
• 54:01
  do
• 54:02
  something
• 54:02
  that
• 54:02
  I
• 54:02
  felt
• 54:03
  that
• 54:03
  was
• 54:03
  like
• 54:04
  me
• 54:04
  and
• 54:04
  someone
• 54:04
  else
• 54:05
  who
• 54:05
  has
• 54:05
  their
• 54:05
  own
• 54:06
  ideas
• 54:06
  and
• 54:06
  their
• 54:06
  own
• 54:07
  way
• 54:07
  of
• 54:07
  promoting
• 54:08
  or
• 54:08
  putting
• 54:08
  it
• 54:08
  out
• 54:09
  there.
• 54:09
  They
• 54:09
  would
• 54:09
  have
• 54:10
  their
• 54:10
  own,
• 54:10
  like,
• 54:10
  unique.
• 54:11
  Putting
• 54:11
  your
• 54:11
  unique
• 54:11
  spin
• 54:12
  on
• 54:12
  it.
• 54:12
  And
• 54:12
  I
• 54:12
  think
• 54:12
  that's
• 54:13
  that
• 54:13
  would
• 54:14
  be
• 54:14
  wonderful
• 54:14
  to.
• 54:15
  When
• 54:15
  you
• 54:15
  want,
• 54:15
  when
• 54:15
  you
• 54:16
  share
• 54:16
  a
• 54:16
  story
• 54:17
  or
• 54:17
  you
• 54:17
  have
• 54:17
  whatever
• 54:18
  it
• 54:18
  is
• 54:18
  you
• 54:18
  want
• 54:18
  to
• 54:18
  put
• 54:18
  out
• 54:18
  in
• 54:18
  the
• 54:18
  world,
• 54:19
  you
• 54:19
  just,
• 54:19
  you
• 54:19
  put
• 54:20
  your
• 54:20
  own
• 54:20
  spin
• 54:20
  on
• 54:20
  it.
• 54:20
  I
• 54:20
  think
• 54:21
  that's
• 54:21
  important.
• 54:21
  But
• 54:22
  I
• 54:22
  just,
• 54:23
  I
• 54:23
  think
• 54:23
  the
• 54:23
  best
• 54:24
  advice
• 54:24
  I
• 54:24
  can
• 54:24
  give.
• 54:25
  The
• 54:25
  only
• 54:25
  thing
• 54:25
  I
• 54:25
  could
• 54:26
  say
• 54:26
  is
• 54:26
  what
• 54:27
  I
• 54:27
  did
• 54:27
  with
• 54:27
  this
• 54:28
  book
• 54:28
  was
• 54:29
  something
• 54:29
  I've
• 54:29
  wanted
• 54:29
  to
• 54:30
  do
• 54:30
  with
• 54:30
  many
• 54:31
  different
• 54:31
  ideas
• 54:31
  I've
• 54:32
  had.
• 54:32
  And
• 54:32
  it's
• 54:32
  just,
• 54:32
  I
• 54:33
  just
• 54:33
  took
• 54:33
  a
• 54:33
  chance
• 54:34
  and
• 54:34
  I
• 54:34
  just
• 54:34
  went
• 54:34
  for
• 54:34
  it.
• 54:35
  And
• 54:35
  I
• 54:35
  said,
• 54:36
  I
• 54:36
  don't
• 54:36
  really
• 54:37
  mind
• 54:37
  if
• 54:37
  I
• 54:38
  make
• 54:38
  mistakes
• 54:38
  along
• 54:39
  the
• 54:39
  way.
• 54:39
  I
• 54:39
  don't
• 54:40
  mind
• 54:40
  if
• 54:40
  I
• 54:40
  think
• 54:41
  sometimes
• 54:41
  I,
• 54:41
  I
• 54:42
  try
• 54:42
  to
• 54:42
  do
• 54:42
  things
• 54:42
  that
• 54:43
  I
• 54:43
  want
• 54:43
  it
• 54:43
  to
• 54:43
  be
• 54:44
  so
• 54:44
  perfect
• 54:44
  before
• 54:45
  it
• 54:45
  can
• 54:45
  get
• 54:45
  out
• 54:46
  there.
• 54:46
  And
• 54:46
  this
• 54:46
  time
• 54:46
  I'm
• 54:46
  like,
• 54:47
  no,
• 54:47
  it's
• 54:47
  okay.
• 54:47
  Put
• 54:48
  it
• 54:48
  out
• 54:48
  there.
• 54:48
  I
• 54:49
  believed
• 54:49
  in
• 54:49
  the
• 54:49
  story.
• 54:50
  I
• 54:50
  did.
• 54:51
  But
• 54:51
  I
• 54:51
  said,
• 54:51
  you
• 54:51
  know,
• 54:52
  just,
• 54:52
  even
• 54:52
  with
• 54:52
  reaching
• 54:53
  out
• 54:53
  to
• 54:53
  illustrators,
• 54:53
  like
• 54:54
  I
• 54:54
  took
• 54:54
  a
• 54:54
  really
• 54:54
  big
• 54:55
  chance.
• 54:55
  I
• 54:56
  spoke
• 54:56
  to
• 54:56
  someone,
• 54:56
  I
• 54:57
  put
• 54:57
  my
• 54:57
  idea
• 54:58
  in
• 54:58
  their
• 54:58
  hands
• 54:58
  and
• 54:59
  they
• 54:59
  were,
• 54:59
  they
• 54:59
  made
• 54:59
  me
• 55:00
  obviously
• 55:00
  so
• 55:00
  thrilled.
• 55:01
  But
• 55:01
  took
• 55:02
  a
• 55:02
  chance
• 55:02
  with
• 55:02
  that
• 55:02
  and
• 55:03
  just
• 55:03
  really
• 55:04
  took
• 55:04
  a
• 55:04
  leap
• 55:04
  of
• 55:05
  faith.
• 55:05
  And
• 55:05
  it
• 55:05
  was
• 55:05
  just
• 55:05
  constant,
• 55:06
  like
• 55:07
  trial
• 55:07
  and
• 55:07
  error
• 55:08
  and
• 55:08
  just
• 55:09
  seeing
• 55:09
  what
• 55:09
  would
• 55:09
  happen.
• 55:09
  So
• 55:10
  I
• 55:10
  best
• 55:11
  advice
• 55:11
  is
• 55:11
  just
• 55:11
  keep
• 55:12
  going.
• 55:12
  Do
• 55:12
  what
• 55:12
  you
• 55:12
  put
• 55:13
  it
• 55:13
  out
• 55:13
  there.
• 55:13
  Keep
• 55:14
  going
• 55:14
  until
• 55:14
  it
• 55:14
  happens.
• 55:15
  Keep
• 55:15
  going
• 55:15
  until
• 55:16
  it
• 55:16
  happens.
• 55:16
  Because
• 55:16
  that
• 55:17
  was
• 55:17
  a
• 55:17
  goal
• 55:17
  of
• 55:17
  mine,
• 55:18
  was
• 55:18
  just
• 55:18
  to,
• 55:18
  as
• 55:18
  I
• 55:18
  said,
• 55:19
  to
• 55:19
  complete
• 55:19
  it.
• 55:19
  And
• 55:19
  that's
• 55:20
  why
• 55:20
  I,
• 55:20
  I
• 55:20
  went
• 55:20
  the
• 55:20
  self
• 55:21
  publishing
• 55:21
  route
• 55:21
  because
• 55:21
  I
• 55:22
  wanted
• 55:22
  it
• 55:22
  out
• 55:22
  there.
• 55:23
  Because
• 55:23
  I
• 55:23
  felt
• 55:23
  that
• 55:23
  if
• 55:23
  I've
• 55:24
  delayed
• 55:24
  it
• 55:24
  too
• 55:24
  much
• 55:24
  by
• 55:25
  trying
• 55:25
  to
• 55:25
  figure
• 55:25
  out
• 55:26
  the
• 55:26
  perfect
• 55:27
  literary
• 55:27
  agent
• 55:27
  for
• 55:28
  me,
• 55:28
  trying
• 55:28
  to
• 55:29
  figure
• 55:29
  that
• 55:29
  would
• 55:29
  have
• 55:30
  just.
• 55:30
  The
• 55:30
  book
• 55:30
  probably
• 55:30
  would
• 55:30
  have
• 55:31
  never
• 55:31
  been
• 55:32
  right
• 55:32
  because
• 55:32
  I'd
• 55:33
  really
• 55:33
  do
• 55:33
  it.
• 55:33
  But
• 55:33
  no,
• 55:33
  that's
• 55:34
  too
• 55:34
  much
• 55:34
  reason
• 55:34
  to
• 55:35
  know.
• 55:35
  Yes.
• 55:36
  And
• 55:36
  I,
• 55:36
  I
• 55:36
  want
• 55:37
  to
• 55:37
  pick
• 55:37
  up
• 55:37
  on
• 55:37
  your
• 55:37
  theme
• 55:38
  about
• 55:38
  self
• 55:39
  publishing
• 55:39
  for
• 55:39
  a
• 55:39
  moment
• 55:40
  because
• 55:40
  first
• 55:41
  of
• 55:41
  all,
• 55:41
  you
• 55:41
  talked
• 55:41
  about
• 55:42
  it
• 55:42
  was
• 55:42
  neat.
• 55:42
  You
• 55:43
  talked
• 55:43
  about
• 55:44
  getting
• 55:44
  it
• 55:44
  right
• 55:45
  when
• 55:45
  you're
• 55:45
  downloading
• 55:46
  to
• 55:46
  Amazon
• 55:47
  to
• 55:47
  actually
• 55:48
  have
• 55:48
  the
• 55:48
  book
• 55:48
  come
• 55:48
  to
• 55:49
  life.
• 55:49
  Yes.
• 55:50
  I
• 55:50
  can
• 55:50
  tell
• 55:50
  you
• 55:51
  that
• 55:51
  even
• 55:52
  with
• 55:52
  a
• 55:52
  company
• 55:53
  like
• 55:53
  Ingram
• 55:54
  Sparks,
• 55:54
  which
• 55:55
  actually
• 55:55
  reaches
• 55:56
  out
• 55:56
  to
• 55:56
  other
• 55:57
  book
• 55:57
  retailers
• 55:58
  like
• 55:58
  Barnes
• 55:59
  and
• 55:59
  Noble
• 56:00
  and
• 56:00
  those
• 56:00
  type
• 56:01
  of
• 56:01
  other
• 56:02
  book
• 56:02
  retailers,
• 56:03
  it
• 56:03
  can
• 56:04
  get
• 56:04
  to
• 56:04
  be
• 56:04
  a
• 56:04
  little
• 56:05
  sticky.
• 56:05
  And
• 56:06
  you
• 56:06
  can't
• 56:06
  get
• 56:06
  frustrated.
• 56:07
  You
• 56:07
  just,
• 56:08
  you
• 56:08
  just
• 56:09
  got
• 56:09
  to
• 56:09
  keep
• 56:09
  going
• 56:10
  like
• 56:10
  you
• 56:10
  said.
• 56:10
  And
• 56:11
  I
• 56:11
  had
• 56:11
  a
• 56:11
  little
• 56:11
  problem
• 56:12
  with
• 56:12
  Ingram
• 56:12
  Sparks.
• 56:13
  But
• 56:13
  you
• 56:13
  know
• 56:13
  what?
• 56:14
  Eventually
• 56:14
  I
• 56:14
  was
• 56:15
  able
• 56:15
  to
• 56:15
  get
• 56:15
  it
• 56:15
  fixed
• 56:16
  and
• 56:16
  away
• 56:16
  I
• 56:16
  go.
• 56:17
  The
• 56:17
  other
• 56:17
  thing
• 56:18
  is
• 56:18
  that
• 56:18
  I
• 56:18
  want
• 56:18
  under
• 56:19
  people
• 56:19
  people
• 56:20
  to
• 56:20
  understand
• 56:21
  is
• 56:21
  that
• 56:22
  this
• 56:22
  book
• 56:23
  is
• 56:23
  evergreen.
• 56:24
  Like
• 56:24
  Tanya's
• 56:25
  book,
• 56:25
  Money
• 56:26
  time
• 56:26
  is
• 56:27
  evergreen.
• 56:27
  Because
• 56:27
  this,
• 56:28
  you
• 56:28
  know
• 56:28
  what
• 56:29
  you
• 56:29
  might
• 56:29
  say
• 56:30
  this
• 56:30
  is
• 56:30
  for
• 56:30
  3
• 56:31
  to
• 56:31
  10
• 56:31
  year
• 56:31
  olds
• 56:32
  or
• 56:32
  whatever
• 56:33
  your
• 56:33
  audience
• 56:34
  is.
• 56:35
  The
• 56:35
  beautiful
• 56:35
  thing
• 56:36
  about
• 56:36
  our
• 56:36
  world
• 56:37
  is
• 56:37
  more
• 56:38
  3
• 56:38
  to
• 56:38
  10
• 56:38
  year
• 56:39
  olds
• 56:39
  just
• 56:39
  keep
• 56:39
  coming.
• 56:40
  So
• 56:40
  the
• 56:40
  opportunity
• 56:42
  to
• 56:42
  have
• 56:42
  this
• 56:42
  book
• 56:43
  stay
• 56:43
  timeless
• 56:44
  is
• 56:45
  incredible.
• 56:45
  And
• 56:46
  the
• 56:46
  message
• 56:46
  is
• 56:46
  timeless.
• 56:47
  And
• 56:48
  the
• 56:48
  other
• 56:48
  thing
• 56:48
  I
• 56:48
  wanted
• 56:49
  to
• 56:49
  mention
• 56:49
  to
• 56:49
  you
• 56:49
  because
• 56:50
  when
• 56:51
  someone
• 56:51
  said
• 56:51
  to
• 56:51
  me,
• 56:52
  you
• 56:52
  know,
• 56:53
  that
• 56:53
  your
• 56:53
  books
• 56:53
  are
• 56:54
  given
• 56:54
  away
• 56:55
  mostly
• 56:55
  as
• 56:55
  gifts,
• 56:56
  they're
• 56:56
  bought
• 56:56
  by
• 56:57
  parents
• 56:57
  to
• 56:57
  give.
• 56:58
  It's
• 56:58
  not
• 56:58
  a
• 56:59
  child
• 56:59
  is
• 56:59
  running
• 56:59
  around
• 57:00
  with
• 57:00
  20
• 57:00
  bucks
• 57:00
  in
• 57:00
  their
• 57:01
  pocket
• 57:01
  to
• 57:01
  buy
• 57:01
  your
• 57:02
  book.
• 57:02
  So
• 57:03
  it's
• 57:03
  usually
• 57:04
  the
• 57:04
  parent
• 57:04
  or
• 57:04
  the
• 57:05
  grandparent
• 57:05
  or
• 57:07
  family
• 57:07
  member
• 57:07
  buying
• 57:08
  the
• 57:08
  book
• 57:08
  for
• 57:08
  the
• 57:09
  child.
• 57:10
  And
• 57:10
  so
• 57:10
  I
• 57:11
  only
• 57:11
  want
• 57:11
  to
• 57:11
  share
• 57:11
  this
• 57:12
  with
• 57:12
  you.
• 57:12
  Is
• 57:12
  that
• 57:13
  because
• 57:14
  we're
• 57:14
  self
• 57:14
  published?
• 57:15
  I
• 57:16
  wanted
• 57:16
  to
• 57:16
  make
• 57:16
  a
• 57:16
  change
• 57:17
  because
• 57:17
  I
• 57:17
  heard
• 57:17
  about
• 57:17
  this
• 57:18
  thing
• 57:18
  called
• 57:18
  a
• 57:19
  book
• 57:19
  plate.
• 57:20
  Have
• 57:20
  you
• 57:20
  ever
• 57:20
  heard
• 57:20
  of.
• 57:21
  I
• 57:21
  have,
• 57:22
  yes,
• 57:22
  in
• 57:23
  our
• 57:23
  book.
• 57:23
  So
• 57:23
  I
• 57:23
  hope
• 57:24
  I
• 57:24
  grab
• 57:24
  one.
• 57:24
  So
• 57:25
  this
• 57:25
  one
• 57:25
  doesn't
• 57:26
  have
• 57:26
  a
• 57:26
  book
• 57:26
  plate.
• 57:27
  Then
• 57:28
  I'm
• 57:28
  hoping
• 57:28
  I
• 57:28
  find
• 57:29
  one
• 57:29
  that
• 57:29
  I
• 57:29
  have
• 57:29
  with
• 57:30
  a
• 57:30
  book
• 57:30
  plate.
• 57:31
  Ah,
• 57:31
  okay.
• 57:32
  And
• 57:32
  I
• 57:32
  was
• 57:32
  thinking
• 57:33
  about
• 57:33
  your
• 57:33
  clock.
• 57:34
  Okay,
• 57:35
  so
• 57:35
  look
• 57:35
  at
• 57:35
  this.
• 57:36
  So
• 57:36
  we
• 57:37
  got
• 57:37
  a
• 57:37
  heart.
• 57:38
  How
• 57:38
  nice.
• 57:38
  Can
• 57:38
  you
• 57:39
  see
• 57:39
  that?
• 57:40
  Yes.
• 57:40
  Now
• 57:41
  it
• 57:41
  says
• 57:42
  this
• 57:42
  book
• 57:42
  belongs
• 57:43
  to
• 57:44
  and.
• 57:44
  Or
• 57:45
  the
• 57:45
  parents
• 57:45
  can
• 57:46
  write
• 57:46
  it
• 57:46
  or
• 57:47
  grandparent
• 57:47
  or
• 57:48
  whoever,
• 57:48
  the
• 57:48
  friend
• 57:49
  can
• 57:49
  write
• 57:49
  a
• 57:49
  nice
• 57:49
  message
• 57:50
  in
• 57:50
  there.
• 57:50
  So
• 57:50
  I
• 57:51
  was
• 57:51
  thinking
• 57:51
  in
• 57:51
  your
• 57:51
  book
• 57:52
  you
• 57:52
  could
• 57:52
  think
• 57:52
  about
• 57:53
  on
• 57:54
  this
• 57:54
  blank
• 57:54
  area,
• 57:55
  you
• 57:56
  could
• 57:56
  put
• 57:56
  the
• 57:56
  same
• 57:57
  kind
• 57:57
  of
• 57:57
  idea,
• 57:57
  but
• 57:58
  make
• 57:58
  it
• 57:58
  a
• 57:58
  clock
• 57:59
  or
• 57:59
  whatever.
• 58:00
  I'm
• 58:00
  just
• 58:00
  throwing
• 58:00
  that
• 58:00
  out
• 58:01
  at
• 58:01
  you.
• 58:01
  Wonderful
• 58:01
  idea.
• 58:02
  Oh,
• 58:02
  thank
• 58:02
  you.
• 58:03
  And
• 58:03
  I
• 58:04
  like
• 58:04
  sharing
• 58:04
  these
• 58:04
  things
• 58:05
  because
• 58:05
  it's
• 58:05
  important
• 58:06
  that
• 58:06
  people
• 58:07
  realize
• 58:08
  that
• 58:08
  none
• 58:09
  of
• 58:09
  this
• 58:09
  is
• 58:09
  stagnant.
• 58:10
  The
• 58:10
  nice
• 58:10
  thing
• 58:11
  about
• 58:11
  publishing
• 58:12
  on
• 58:12
  Amazon
• 58:13
  also
• 58:14
  is
• 58:14
  that
• 58:14
  it's
• 58:15
  print
• 58:15
  on
• 58:16
  demand.
• 58:16
  It's
• 58:16
  not
• 58:17
  like
• 58:17
  we.
• 58:17
  You
• 58:17
  went
• 58:18
  out
• 58:18
  and
• 58:18
  printed
• 58:19
  like
• 58:19
  in
• 58:19
  the
• 58:19
  old
• 58:20
  days,
• 58:21
  printed
• 58:22
  thousands
• 58:22
  of
• 58:23
  copies
• 58:23
  and
• 58:23
  then
• 58:23
  had
• 58:24
  them
• 58:24
  sitting
• 58:24
  in
• 58:24
  your
• 58:24
  garage.
• 58:25
  Exactly.
• 58:27
  So
• 58:27
  that's
• 58:27
  the
• 58:27
  nice
• 58:27
  thing
• 58:28
  about
• 58:28
  it
• 58:28
  is
• 58:28
  you
• 58:29
  can
• 58:29
  go
• 58:29
  in
• 58:29
  and
• 58:30
  modify
• 58:31
  your
• 58:31
  book
• 58:31
  within
• 58:33
  moments
• 58:34
  and
• 58:34
  just
• 58:34
  upload
• 58:35
  that
• 58:35
  part
• 58:36
  to
• 58:37
  Amazon
• 58:38
  and
• 58:38
  away
• 58:38
  you
• 58:38
  go.
• 58:38
  You've
• 58:39
  got
• 58:39
  your
• 58:39
  own
• 58:40
  personalized
• 58:40
  book
• 58:41
  plate.
• 58:41
  But
• 58:41
  anyways,
• 58:42
  I
• 58:42
  just
• 58:42
  wanted
• 58:43
  to
• 58:43
  share
• 58:43
  that
• 58:43
  with
• 58:43
  you
• 58:44
  because
• 58:44
  I
• 58:44
  think
• 58:45
  your
• 58:45
  book
• 58:45
  is
• 58:45
  fantastic
• 58:46
  and
• 58:46
  it'll
• 58:47
  be
• 58:47
  around
• 58:48
  forever.
• 58:48
  And
• 58:49
  also
• 58:50
  I
• 58:50
  wanted
• 58:50
  to
• 58:51
  share
• 58:51
  that
• 58:51
  advice
• 58:52
  for
• 58:52
  aspiring
• 58:53
  authors.
• 58:53
  It's
• 58:54
  a
• 58:54
  great
• 58:54
  idea.
• 58:55
  Thank
• 58:55
  you.
• 58:55
  I've
• 58:55
  spent
• 58:56
  so
• 58:56
  much
• 58:56
  talking
• 58:57
  with
• 58:57
  you
• 58:57
  about
• 58:58
  aspiring
• 58:59
  authors,
• 59:00
  but
• 59:00
  I
• 59:00
  really
• 59:00
  want
• 59:00
  to
• 59:01
  talk
• 59:01
  about,
• 59:02
  and
• 59:02
  I
• 59:02
  always
• 59:02
  save
• 59:03
  it
• 59:03
  for
• 59:03
  the
• 59:03
  last
• 59:03
  part
• 59:04
  of
• 59:04
  the
• 59:04
  show
• 59:05
  is
• 59:05
  encouragement
• 59:06
  for
• 59:07
  the
• 59:07
  readers.
• 59:08
  So
• 59:08
  why
• 59:09
  should
• 59:09
  children's
• 59:10
  book
• 59:10
  readers
• 59:11
  purchase
• 59:11
  your
• 59:12
  book
• 59:12
  and
• 59:13
  where
• 59:13
  is
• 59:13
  your
• 59:13
  book
• 59:14
  available
• 59:15
  to
• 59:15
  be
• 59:15
  purchased?
• 59:16
  Oh,
• 59:16
  thank
• 59:17
  you.
• 59:17
  Well,
• 59:17
  I
• 59:18
  think
• 59:18
  that
• 59:18
  children's
• 59:19
  book,
• 59:19
  well,
• 59:19
  children's
• 59:20
  read
• 59:20
  readers
• 59:21
  and
• 59:21
  parents
• 59:22
  or
• 59:22
  teachers
• 59:23
  should
• 59:23
  purchase
• 59:24
  the
• 59:24
  book
• 59:24
  because
• 59:25
  we
• 59:25
  all
• 59:25
  could
• 59:26
  benefit
• 59:26
  from
• 59:27
  some,
• 59:27
  you
• 59:27
  know,
• 59:28
  discussion
• 59:28
  and
• 59:29
  advice
• 59:29
  on
• 59:29
  time
• 59:30
  management.
• 59:30
  I
• 59:31
  think,
• 59:31
  and
• 59:31
  I
• 59:31
  say
• 59:32
  that
• 59:32
  for
• 59:32
  adults
• 59:32
  and
• 59:33
  children
• 59:33
  and
• 59:33
  all
• 59:34
  of
• 59:34
  us,
• 59:34
  we
• 59:34
  have
• 59:35
  many
• 59:35
  things
• 59:35
  we
• 59:36
  want
• 59:36
  to
• 59:36
  do
• 59:36
  and
• 59:36
  many
• 59:37
  things
• 59:37
  we
• 59:37
  have
• 59:37
  to
• 59:37
  do.
• 59:38
  And
• 59:38
  I
• 59:39
  want
• 59:39
  everyone
• 59:39
  to
• 59:39
  be
• 59:40
  able
• 59:40
  to
• 59:40
  feel
• 59:40
  that
• 59:40
  they're,
• 59:41
  you
• 59:41
  know,
• 59:42
  they
• 59:42
  have
• 59:42
  a
• 59:42
  well
• 59:42
  rounded
• 59:43
  day
• 59:43
  and
• 59:44
  a
• 59:44
  well
• 59:44
  rounded
• 59:44
  life
• 59:45
  and
• 59:45
  they're
• 59:45
  able
• 59:45
  to,
• 59:46
  even
• 59:46
  when
• 59:46
  it
• 59:47
  comes
• 59:47
  to
• 59:47
  writing
• 59:47
  a
• 59:47
  children's
• 59:48
  book,
• 59:48
  if
• 59:48
  this
• 59:48
  isn't,
• 59:48
  if
• 59:49
  this
• 59:49
  is
• 59:49
  a
• 59:49
  goal
• 59:49
  of
• 59:49
  yours,
• 59:50
  fitting
• 59:50
  that
• 59:51
  into
• 59:51
  your
• 59:51
  day,
• 59:51
  whatever
• 59:52
  the
• 59:52
  goals
• 59:52
  are.
• 59:53
  So
• 59:53
  I
• 59:53
  think
• 59:53
  it
• 59:53
  would
• 59:53
  be,
• 59:54
  that's
• 59:55
  my
• 59:55
  advice
• 59:55
  to
• 59:55
  them
• 59:56
  to
• 59:56
  that
• 59:56
  I
• 59:56
  think
• 59:56
  it's
• 59:57
  great
• 59:57
  to
• 59:57
  purchase
• 59:57
  the
• 59:58
  book
• 59:58
  because
• 59:58
  it
• 59:58
  just
• 59:58
  gives
• 59:58
  you
• 59:59
  some
• 59:59
  ideas
• 59:59
  on
• 1:00:00
  a
• 1:00:00
  way
• 1:00:00
  to
• 1:00:00
  think
• 1:00:00
  of
• 1:00:00
  time
• 1:00:01
  differently.
• 1:00:01
  And
• 1:00:02
  it's
• 1:00:02
  available
• 1:00:03
  on
• 1:00:03
  Amazon
• 1:00:03
  at
• 1:00:03
  this
• 1:00:04
  time,
• 1:00:04
  Amazon.com
• 1:00:05
  Excellent.
• 1:00:06
  Final
• 1:00:06
  thought.
• 1:00:07
  Sure.
• 1:00:08
  I
• 1:00:08
  guess
• 1:00:08
  I
• 1:00:08
  would
• 1:00:08
  just.
• 1:00:08
  Well,
• 1:00:09
  first
• 1:00:09
  of
• 1:00:09
  all,
• 1:00:09
  thank
• 1:00:09
  you
• 1:00:09
  so
• 1:00:09
  much,
• 1:00:10
  really,
• 1:00:10
  for
• 1:00:10
  having
• 1:00:10
  me
• 1:00:11
  and
• 1:00:11
  your
• 1:00:11
  encouragement.
• 1:00:12
  And
• 1:00:12
  you
• 1:00:12
  just,
• 1:00:13
  you've
• 1:00:13
  given
• 1:00:13
  me.
• 1:00:14
  I've
• 1:00:14
  just
• 1:00:14
  felt
• 1:00:14
  so
• 1:00:15
  filled
• 1:00:16
  with
• 1:00:16
  kindness
• 1:00:17
  and
• 1:00:17
  warmth
• 1:00:17
  and
• 1:00:17
  I'm
• 1:00:17
  just
• 1:00:18
  so
• 1:00:18
  excited
• 1:00:18
  to
• 1:00:19
  be
• 1:00:19
  here.
• 1:00:19
  And
• 1:00:20
  my
• 1:00:20
  final
• 1:00:20
  thoughts
• 1:00:21
  are,
• 1:00:21
  as
• 1:00:21
  I
• 1:00:21
  said
• 1:00:21
  before,
• 1:00:22
  just
• 1:00:22
  if
• 1:00:22
  anybody
• 1:00:22
  has
• 1:00:23
  any
• 1:00:23
  ideas
• 1:00:24
  to
• 1:00:24
  get
• 1:00:24
  a
• 1:00:24
  book
• 1:00:24
  out
• 1:00:24
  there,
• 1:00:25
  if
• 1:00:25
  it's
• 1:00:25
  a
• 1:00:25
  children's
• 1:00:25
  book,
• 1:00:26
  if
• 1:00:26
  it's
• 1:00:26
  a
• 1:00:26
  novel,
• 1:00:27
  whatever
• 1:00:27
  it
• 1:00:27
  is,
• 1:00:28
  just
• 1:00:28
  go
• 1:00:28
  for
• 1:00:28
  it,
• 1:00:28
  do
• 1:00:29
  it.
• 1:00:29
  Because
• 1:00:29
  we
• 1:00:29
  need
• 1:00:29
  different
• 1:00:30
  ideas
• 1:00:31
  put
• 1:00:31
  out
• 1:00:31
  into
• 1:00:31
  the
• 1:00:31
  world.
• 1:00:31
  We
• 1:00:32
  need
• 1:00:32
  everybody's
• 1:00:33
  unique
• 1:00:33
  perspective
• 1:00:34
  on
• 1:00:34
  life.
• 1:00:35
  So
• 1:00:35
  I
• 1:00:35
  think
• 1:00:36
  that's
• 1:00:36
  my
• 1:00:36
  final
• 1:00:36
  thought.
• 1:00:37
  Fantastic.
• 1:00:38
  Tanya,
• 1:00:38
  thank
• 1:00:39
  you
