  a

  children's

  book,
• 3:53
  Goodbye
• 3:54
  Blue,
• 3:54
  and
• 3:54
  I
• 3:54
  look
• 3:55
  forward
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  our
• 3:55
  conversation
• 3:56
  because
• 3:57
  her
• 3:57
  story
• 3:58
  brings
• 3:58
  up
• 3:58
  strong
• 3:59
  emotions
• 4:00
  for
• 4:00
  myself
• 4:00
  and
• 4:01
  my
• 4:01
  family.
• 4:01
  Before
• 4:02
  we
• 4:02
  get
• 4:02
  into
• 4:02
  the
• 4:03
  details
• 4:03
  of
• 4:03
  your
• 4:04
  book,
• 4:04
  Brittany,
• 4:04
  can
• 4:05
  you
• 4:05
  tell
• 4:05
  us
• 4:06
  about
• 4:06
  what
• 4:06
  it
• 4:07
  means
• 4:07
  to
• 4:07
  you
• 4:08
  to
• 4:08
  be
• 4:08
  a
• 4:09
  children's
• 4:09
  book
• 4:10
  author?
• 4:11
  Yeah.
• 4:12
  So
• 4:13
  my
• 4:14
  life,
• 4:14
  I
• 4:14
  feel
• 4:14
  like,
• 4:14
  has
• 4:15
  led
• 4:15
  up
• 4:15
  to
• 4:16
  this
• 4:16
  in
• 4:16
  a
• 4:16
  very
• 4:16
  interesting
• 4:17
  way.
• 4:17
  I
• 4:18
  have
• 4:18
  worked
• 4:18
  with
• 4:18
  the
• 4:18
  special
• 4:19
  Needs
• 4:19
  community
• 4:19
  for
• 4:20
  18
• 4:20
  years.
• 4:21
  I
• 4:21
  do
• 4:21
  art
• 4:22
  therapy
• 4:22
  with
• 4:22
  children
• 4:22
  on
• 4:23
  the
• 4:23
  autism
• 4:23
  spectrum.
• 4:23
  But
• 4:24
  I've
• 4:24
  gotten
• 4:24
  to
• 4:24
  watch
• 4:24
  a
• 4:25
  lot
• 4:25
  of
• 4:25
  Littles
• 4:26
  grow
• 4:26
  up
• 4:26
  throughout
• 4:26
  be
• 4:27
  big.
• 4:27
  They're
• 4:27
  in
• 4:27
  their
• 4:27
  30s
• 4:28
  now,
• 4:28
  which
• 4:28
  is
• 4:28
  crazy.
• 4:29
  And
• 4:30
  it's
• 4:30
  been
• 4:30
  incredible
• 4:30
  to
• 4:31
  watch
• 4:31
  these
• 4:31
  kids
• 4:31
  grow
• 4:32
  up
• 4:32
  and
• 4:32
  thrive
• 4:33
  and
• 4:33
  do
• 4:33
  amazing
• 4:33
  things.
• 4:34
  I
• 4:34
  work
• 4:34
  in
• 4:35
  the
• 4:35
  design
• 4:35
  world,
• 4:36
  so
• 4:36
  I've
• 4:36
  done
• 4:36
  design
• 4:37
  and
• 4:37
  marketing.
• 4:37
  That's
• 4:38
  what
• 4:38
  I
• 4:38
  went
• 4:38
  to
• 4:38
  school
• 4:38
  for.
• 4:40
  And
• 4:40
  I've
• 4:40
  always
• 4:40
  loved
• 4:41
  working
• 4:41
  with
• 4:41
  children.
• 4:41
  And
• 4:42
  so
• 4:42
  what
• 4:42
  ended
• 4:43
  up
• 4:43
  happening
• 4:43
  naturally
• 4:44
  is
• 4:45
  that
• 4:46
  my
• 4:46
  design
• 4:47
  work
• 4:47
  led
• 4:47
  to
• 4:47
  my
• 4:48
  ability
• 4:48
  and
• 4:48
  my
• 4:48
  creation
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  art
• 4:50
  to
• 4:50
  being
• 4:50
  able
• 4:50
  to
• 4:51
  create
• 4:51
  my
• 4:51
  own
• 4:51
  books
• 4:52
  and
• 4:52
  illustrate
• 4:52
  them
• 4:52
  and
• 4:53
  write
• 4:53
  them.
• 4:54
  And
• 4:54
  my
• 4:55
  work
• 4:55
  with
• 4:55
  special
• 4:55
  needs
• 4:56
  children
• 4:56
  made
• 4:57
  me
• 4:57
  want
• 4:57
  to
• 4:57
  write
• 4:57
  children's
• 4:58
  books
• 4:58
  that
• 4:59
  could
• 4:59
  help
• 4:59
  teach
• 4:59
  lessons
• 5:00
  and
• 5:00
  make
• 5:00
  a
• 5:00
  difference
• 5:00
  in
• 5:01
  this
• 5:01
  world.
• 5:02
  Terrific.
• 5:03
  Was
• 5:03
  there
• 5:03
  one
• 5:04
  special
• 5:05
  moment
• 5:06
  that
• 5:06
  was
• 5:06
  the
• 5:07
  inspiration
• 5:08
  behind
• 5:08
  we're
• 5:09
  going
• 5:09
  to
• 5:09
  be
• 5:09
  talking
• 5:09
  about
• 5:10
  Goodbye
• 5:10
  Blue.
• 5:11
  What
• 5:11
  was
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  inspiration
• 5:12
  behind
• 5:12
  Goodbye
• 5:13
  Blue?
• 5:15
  So
• 5:15
  I
• 5:15
  lost
• 5:16
  my
• 5:16
  soulmate,
• 5:17
  as
• 5:17
  I
• 5:17
  called
• 5:18
  her.
• 5:18
  Her
• 5:18
  name
• 5:18
  is
• 5:18
  Annabelle.
• 5:19
  I
• 5:19
  still
• 5:20
  wear
• 5:20
  her
• 5:20
  nose
• 5:20
  around
• 5:21
  my
• 5:21
  neck.
• 5:22
  And
• 5:22
  she
• 5:23
  was
• 5:23
  the
• 5:23
  best
• 5:24
  thing
• 5:24
  that
• 5:24
  ever
• 5:24
  happened
• 5:25
  to
• 5:25
  me.
• 5:25
  I
• 5:25
  brought
• 5:25
  her
• 5:26
  home.
• 5:26
  When
• 5:26
  I
• 5:26
  first
• 5:27
  moved
• 5:27
  out
• 5:27
  of
• 5:27
  my
• 5:28
  parents
• 5:28
  house,
• 5:30
  we
• 5:30
  ended
• 5:30
  up
• 5:30
  dog
• 5:30
  swapping.
• 5:31
  I
• 5:31
  had
• 5:31
  a
• 5:32
  dog
• 5:32
  named
• 5:32
  Vinnegan
• 5:33
  who
• 5:33
  was
• 5:33
  not
• 5:33
  a
• 5:33
  good
• 5:34
  fit
• 5:34
  and
• 5:34
  I
• 5:34
  had
• 5:35
  dog
• 5:35
  swapped
• 5:35
  for
• 5:36
  Annabelle.
• 5:36
  And
• 5:37
  it
• 5:37
  felt
• 5:37
  like
• 5:37
  we
• 5:37
  were
• 5:38
  kindred
• 5:38
  spirits
• 5:39
  and
• 5:39
  meant
• 5:39
  to
• 5:39
  meet.
• 5:40
  And
• 5:40
  so
• 5:41
  through
• 5:42
  anything
• 5:42
  that
• 5:43
  I
• 5:43
  went
• 5:43
  through
• 5:44
  living
• 5:44
  in
• 5:44
  a
• 5:44
  shoebox
• 5:45
  apartment
• 5:45
  and
• 5:45
  by
• 5:45
  myself
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  trying
• 5:46
  to
• 5:46
  figure
• 5:46
  things
• 5:47
  out
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  buying
• 5:47
  my
• 5:48
  house,
• 5:48
  to.
• 5:49
  To
• 5:49
  relationships,
• 5:50
  to
• 5:50
  health
• 5:50
  things,
• 5:51
  she
• 5:52
  was
• 5:52
  there
• 5:52
  and
• 5:52
  she
• 5:53
  was
• 5:53
  a
• 5:53
  part
• 5:53
  of
• 5:53
  my
• 5:54
  life
• 5:54
  growing
• 5:54
  up
• 5:55
  and
• 5:55
  finding
• 5:55
  our
• 5:55
  way
• 5:56
  together.
• 5:57
  And
• 5:57
  when
• 5:57
  she
• 5:58
  passed
• 5:58
  away,
• 5:58
  there
• 5:58
  was
• 5:59
  such
• 5:59
  a
• 5:59
  hole
• 5:59
  in
• 6:00
  my
• 6:00
  heart
• 6:00
  and
• 6:01
  so
• 6:01
  much
• 6:01
  grief
• 6:03
  that
• 6:03
  I
• 6:03
  knew
• 6:03
  I
• 6:03
  wasn't
• 6:04
  the
• 6:04
  only
• 6:04
  one
• 6:04
  feeling
• 6:05
  that.
• 6:06
  And
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  knew
• 6:07
  that
• 6:07
  Children
• 6:07
  and
• 6:08
  adults
• 6:08
  alike
• 6:09
  had
• 6:09
  all
• 6:09
  lost
• 6:10
  somebody
• 6:10
  or
• 6:11
  someone
• 6:11
  or
• 6:11
  something
• 6:12
  that
• 6:12
  they
• 6:13
  loved.
• 6:13
  And
• 6:14
  where
• 6:15
  does
• 6:15
  love
• 6:15
  go
• 6:16
  when
• 6:17
  it
• 6:17
  changes
• 6:18
  its
• 6:18
  form?
• 6:19
  And
• 6:19
  so
• 6:19
  that's
• 6:19
  part
• 6:20
  of
• 6:20
  why
• 6:20
  Goodbye
• 6:21
  Blue
• 6:21
  came
• 6:22
  to
• 6:22
  be.
• 6:22
  So
• 6:22
  her
• 6:22
  name
• 6:23
  was
• 6:23
  Annabelle,
• 6:23
  but
• 6:23
  I
• 6:24
  always
• 6:24
  called
• 6:24
  her
• 6:24
  Blue
• 6:24
  when
• 6:25
  she
• 6:25
  was
• 6:25
  alive.
• 6:26
  And
• 6:26
  that's
• 6:26
  how
• 6:26
  all
• 6:27
  of
• 6:27
  that
• 6:27
  started.
• 6:29
  I
• 6:29
  love
• 6:29
  your
• 6:29
  story,
• 6:30
  and
• 6:31
  like
• 6:31
  you
• 6:31
  said,
• 6:32
  I
• 6:32
  find
• 6:33
  your
• 6:33
  story
• 6:34
  definitely
• 6:34
  resonated
• 6:35
  with
• 6:35
  myself
• 6:36
  and
• 6:36
  my
• 6:36
  family.
• 6:37
  My
• 6:37
  wife
• 6:37
  and
• 6:37
  I
• 6:38
  have
• 6:38
  had
• 6:39
  three
• 6:40
  dogs
• 6:40
  over
• 6:40
  the
• 6:41
  length
• 6:41
  of
• 6:41
  our
• 6:41
  marriage.
• 6:42
  And
• 6:43
  our
• 6:43
  last
• 6:43
  dog,
• 6:44
  his
• 6:44
  name
• 6:45
  was
• 6:45
  Bandit.
• 6:46
  He
• 6:46
  reminded
• 6:46
  me
• 6:47
  of
• 6:47
  Annabelle
• 6:47
  and
• 6:47
  Wade
• 6:48
  because
• 6:48
  he
• 6:48
  was
• 6:48
  black
• 6:48
  and
• 6:49
  white
• 6:50
  and
• 6:50
  he
• 6:51
  was
• 6:51
  a
• 6:51
  cross
• 6:51
  between
• 6:52
  a
• 6:52
  Japanese
• 6:52
  chin
• 6:53
  and
• 6:53
  a
• 6:53
  cocker
• 6:54
  spaniel.
• 6:54
  Looked
• 6:55
  more
• 6:55
  like
• 6:55
  a
• 6:55
  cocker
• 6:56
  spaniel.
• 6:56
  But
• 6:56
  he
• 6:57
  was
• 6:57
  with
• 6:57
  us
• 6:57
  for
• 6:58
  17
• 6:58
  years,
• 7:00
  so
• 7:00
  he
• 7:00
  was
• 7:01
  around
• 7:01
  for
• 7:01
  the
• 7:02
  birth
• 7:02
  and
• 7:03
  growth
• 7:03
  of
• 7:03
  all
• 7:03
  my
• 7:04
  grandchildren.
• 7:04
  That's
• 7:05
  all
• 7:05
  they
• 7:05
  ever
• 7:05
  knew
• 7:06
  was
• 7:06
  banned.
• 7:07
  To
• 7:07
  your
• 7:07
  point,
• 7:08
  definitely
• 7:09
  a
• 7:09
  big
• 7:10
  void,
• 7:11
  because
• 7:11
  we
• 7:11
  thought,
• 7:11
  at
• 7:12
  17,
• 7:12
  we
• 7:12
  thought
• 7:12
  he
• 7:13
  was
• 7:13
  going
• 7:13
  to
• 7:13
  live
• 7:13
  forever.
• 7:14
  There's
• 7:14
  a
• 7:15
  hole,
• 7:15
  and
• 7:16
  it's
• 7:16
  always
• 7:16
  interesting
• 7:17
  how
• 7:17
  people
• 7:17
  deal
• 7:18
  with
• 7:18
  it.
• 7:18
  Writing
• 7:19
  Goodbye
• 7:20
  Blue,
• 7:21
  did
• 7:21
  that
• 7:21
  help
• 7:22
  you
• 7:22
  through
• 7:23
  your
• 7:24
  grief?
• 7:26
  So
• 7:26
  what
• 7:26
  is
• 7:27
  interesting
• 7:27
  is
• 7:27
  that's
• 7:28
  not
• 7:28
  how
• 7:28
  all
• 7:28
  of
• 7:29
  this
• 7:29
  started.
• 7:29
  I
• 7:30
  lost
• 7:30
  Annabelle.
• 7:31
  That
• 7:31
  started
• 7:32
  me
• 7:32
  on
• 7:32
  my
• 7:32
  writing
• 7:32
  journey.
• 7:33
  I
• 7:33
  needed
• 7:34
  something
• 7:34
  to
• 7:34
  do
• 7:34
  to
• 7:35
  fill
• 7:35
  the
• 7:35
  time
• 7:35
  and
• 7:36
  something
• 7:36
  to
• 7:36
  do
• 7:37
  to
• 7:37
  fill
• 7:38
  that
• 7:38
  gap
• 7:39
  of
• 7:39
  love
• 7:40
  that
• 7:40
  I
• 7:40
  had
• 7:40
  for
• 7:41
  her.
• 7:41
  And
• 7:42
  so
• 7:42
  I
• 7:42
  first
• 7:43
  escaped
• 7:43
  up
• 7:43
  to
• 7:43
  the
• 7:44
  mountains.
• 7:44
  I
• 7:44
  was
• 7:44
  going
• 7:45
  up
• 7:45
  to
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  Blue
• 7:45
  Ridge
• 7:46
  Mountains,
• 7:46
  and
• 7:46
  that's
• 7:46
  where
• 7:47
  I
• 7:47
  met
• 7:47
  Sally.
• 7:48
  And
• 7:48
  that's
• 7:49
  how
• 7:49
  I
• 7:49
  started
• 7:49
  writing.
• 7:50
  I
• 7:50
  ended
• 7:50
  up
• 7:51
  befriending
• 7:52
  this
• 7:52
  deer
• 7:52
  that
• 7:52
  has
• 7:53
  a
• 7:53
  torn
• 7:53
  ear
• 7:53
  and
• 7:54
  a
• 7:54
  broken
• 7:54
  leg,
• 7:55
  and
• 7:55
  she
• 7:55
  would
• 7:56
  eat
• 7:56
  apples
• 7:56
  out
• 7:56
  of
• 7:56
  my
• 7:57
  hands.
• 7:57
  I
• 7:57
  would
• 7:57
  keep
• 7:57
  her
• 7:58
  from
• 7:58
  getting
• 7:58
  bullied
• 7:59
  by
• 7:59
  the
• 7:59
  other
• 7:59
  deer.
• 8:00
  She
• 8:01
  healed
• 8:01
  a
• 8:01
  part
• 8:02
  of
• 8:02
  me,
• 8:02
  in
• 8:02
  a
• 8:02
  way,
• 8:03
  and
• 8:03
  she
• 8:04
  became
• 8:04
  my
• 8:04
  first
• 8:05
  children's
• 8:05
  book.
• 8:06
  But
• 8:06
  it
• 8:06
  was
• 8:06
  because
• 8:07
  Annabelle
• 8:07
  had
• 8:08
  passed
• 8:08
  that
• 8:08
  I
• 8:08
  did
• 8:08
  that.
• 8:09
  And
• 8:09
  from
• 8:09
  that,
• 8:10
  the
• 8:10
  next
• 8:10
  logical
• 8:10
  step
• 8:11
  was
• 8:11
  to
• 8:11
  write
• 8:11
  Goodbye
• 8:12
  Blue
• 8:12
  because
• 8:13
  I
• 8:13
  knew
• 8:13
  I
• 8:13
  still
• 8:14
  needed
• 8:14
  to
• 8:14
  address
• 8:15
  and
• 8:15
  cope
• 8:16
  and
• 8:16
  face
• 8:17
  everything
• 8:17
  that
• 8:18
  had
• 8:18
  happened
• 8:18
  with
• 8:18
  Annabelle.
• 8:19
  I
• 8:19
  was
• 8:20
  strong
• 8:20
  enough
• 8:20
  to
• 8:20
  write
• 8:21
  her
• 8:21
  story
• 8:22
  and
• 8:22
  to
• 8:22
  share
• 8:22
  my
• 8:23
  love
• 8:23
  for
• 8:23
  her
• 8:23
  with
• 8:23
  the
• 8:24
  world.
• 8:25
  And
• 8:25
  that's
• 8:25
  how
• 8:25
  Goodbye
• 8:26
  Blue
• 8:26
  came
• 8:27
  about.
• 8:28
  Wow.
• 8:28
  That's
• 8:29
  definitely
• 8:29
  inspirational.
• 8:30
  And
• 8:31
  I
• 8:31
  always
• 8:31
  find
• 8:33
  there
• 8:33
  is
• 8:35
  every
• 8:35
  children's
• 8:35
  book
• 8:36
  author
• 8:36
  that
• 8:36
  I've
• 8:37
  talked
• 8:37
  to.
• 8:37
  There's
• 8:37
  always
• 8:38
  a
• 8:38
  grain
• 8:38
  of
• 8:39
  truth
• 8:39
  somewhere
• 8:40
  in
• 8:41
  their
• 8:41
  story.
• 8:42
  Thank
• 8:42
  you
• 8:43
  for
• 8:43
  sharing
• 8:44
  something
• 8:44
  so
• 8:44
  personal
• 8:45
  and
• 8:46
  how
• 8:46
  it
• 8:46
  started
• 8:47
  you
• 8:47
  on
• 8:47
  this
• 8:48
  writing
• 8:48
  journey,
• 8:49
  this
• 8:49
  children's
• 8:50
  book
• 8:50
  authorship.
• 8:51
  Did
• 8:51
  you
• 8:51
  envision
• 8:52
  when
• 8:52
  you
• 8:52
  had
• 8:53
  Annabelle,
• 8:54
  or
• 8:54
  was
• 8:54
  that
• 8:54
  something
• 8:55
  wasn't
• 8:56
  even
• 8:56
  in
• 8:57
  your
• 8:57
  mind?
• 8:58
  So
• 8:59
  I
• 8:59
  think
• 8:59
  I
• 8:59
  always
• 8:59
  wanted
• 9:00
  to
• 9:00
  write
• 9:00
  a
• 9:00
  Book,
• 9:00
  I
• 9:01
  think
• 9:01
  that
• 9:01
  was
• 9:01
  on
• 9:01
  my
• 9:01
  bucket
• 9:02
  list,
• 9:02
  I
• 9:03
  guess,
• 9:03
  in
• 9:03
  a
• 9:03
  way.
• 9:04
  But
• 9:04
  I
• 9:04
  didn't
• 9:04
  know
• 9:04
  what
• 9:05
  that
• 9:05
  book
• 9:05
  would
• 9:05
  be
• 9:06
  or
• 9:06
  what
• 9:06
  it
• 9:06
  would
• 9:06
  be
• 9:06
  about.
• 9:07
  And
• 9:07
  I
• 9:07
  didn't
• 9:08
  necessarily
• 9:08
  envision
• 9:09
  children's
• 9:10
  books
• 9:10
  as
• 9:11
  my
• 9:11
  avenue,
• 9:13
  but
• 9:13
  when
• 9:13
  I
• 9:13
  met
• 9:13
  Sally,
• 9:14
  it
• 9:15
  just
• 9:15
  fell
• 9:16
  into
• 9:16
  my
• 9:16
  lap.
• 9:17
  It
• 9:17
  was
• 9:17
  a
• 9:17
  story
• 9:17
  that
• 9:18
  needed
• 9:18
  to
• 9:18
  be
• 9:18
  shared,
• 9:18
  but
• 9:19
  I
• 9:19
  knew
• 9:19
  I
• 9:19
  was
• 9:19
  still
• 9:20
  avoiding
• 9:20
  talking
• 9:20
  about
• 9:21
  the
• 9:21
  real
• 9:22
  story,
• 9:22
  which
• 9:22
  was
• 9:22
  Goodbye
• 9:23
  Blue,
• 9:23
  that
• 9:23
  I
• 9:24
  needed
• 9:24
  to
• 9:24
  share
• 9:25
  with
• 9:25
  the
• 9:25
  world
• 9:25
  and
• 9:26
  honor
• 9:26
  her
• 9:26
  in
• 9:26
  that
• 9:27
  way.
• 9:28
  And
• 9:28
  so
• 9:28
  from
• 9:28
  all
• 9:29
  of
• 9:29
  that,
• 9:30
  it
• 9:30
  just
• 9:31
  made
• 9:31
  sense
• 9:32
  and
• 9:32
  it
• 9:32
  played
• 9:33
  out.
• 9:34
  You
• 9:34
  talked
• 9:35
  about
• 9:35
  having
• 9:36
  an
• 9:36
  artistic
• 9:37
  background.
• 9:38
  I
• 9:39
  just
• 9:39
  want
• 9:39
  to
• 9:39
  jump
• 9:39
  into
• 9:40
  that
• 9:40
  a
• 9:40
  bit
• 9:40
  because
• 9:41
  now
• 9:42
  you
• 9:42
  have
• 9:42
  four
• 9:43
  single
• 9:44
  title
• 9:44
  books
• 9:45
  and
• 9:45
  you
• 9:46
  also
• 9:46
  then
• 9:47
  which
• 9:47
  you're
• 9:48
  my
• 9:48
  first
• 9:48
  children's
• 9:49
  book
• 9:49
  author
• 9:49
  to
• 9:49
  come
• 9:50
  on
• 9:50
  where
• 9:50
  you've
• 9:51
  actually
• 9:51
  bundled
• 9:53
  your
• 9:53
  four
• 9:53
  stories
• 9:54
  into
• 9:54
  one
• 9:55
  book.
• 9:56
  Tell
• 9:56
  us
• 9:56
  a
• 9:56
  little
• 9:57
  bit
• 9:57
  about
• 9:57
  that
• 9:58
  journey.
• 9:58
  I
• 9:59
  want
• 9:59
  to
• 9:59
  uncover
• 10:00
  that
• 10:01
  motivation.
• 10:02
  How
• 10:02
  did
• 10:02
  that
• 10:03
  all
• 10:03
  come
• 10:03
  to
• 10:03
  be?
• 10:05
  Yeah.
• 10:05
  So
• 10:06
  what
• 10:06
  I
• 10:06
  learned
• 10:07
  through
• 10:07
  this
• 10:07
  journey,
• 10:08
  and
• 10:08
  it'll
• 10:08
  also
• 10:08
  help
• 10:09
  other
• 10:09
  authors,
• 10:09
  is
• 10:10
  if
• 10:10
  you
• 10:11
  self
• 10:11
  publish
• 10:11
  through
• 10:12
  Amazon
• 10:12
  and
• 10:12
  you
• 10:12
  don't
• 10:13
  have
• 10:13
  enough
• 10:13
  of
• 10:13
  a
• 10:13
  page
• 10:13
  count,
• 10:13
  you
• 10:14
  have
• 10:14
  to
• 10:14
  do
• 10:14
  softback
• 10:14
  books.
• 10:15
  And
• 10:16
  softback
• 10:16
  books
• 10:17
  cannot
• 10:17
  go
• 10:17
  to
• 10:17
  the
• 10:18
  library
• 10:18
  oftentimes
• 10:19
  because
• 10:19
  there's
• 10:20
  too
• 10:20
  much
• 10:20
  wear
• 10:20
  and
• 10:20
  tear,
• 10:21
  especially
• 10:21
  in
• 10:21
  the
• 10:21
  children's
• 10:22
  book
• 10:22
  section.
• 10:22
  And
• 10:23
  so
• 10:23
  they
• 10:23
  don't
• 10:23
  hold
• 10:23
  up
• 10:24
  over
• 10:24
  that
• 10:24
  time.
• 10:25
  One
• 10:25
  of
• 10:26
  the
• 10:26
  ways
• 10:26
  to
• 10:27
  allow
• 10:27
  my
• 10:27
  books
• 10:28
  to
• 10:28
  be
• 10:28
  donated
• 10:28
  and
• 10:29
  to
• 10:29
  touch
• 10:29
  more
• 10:30
  lives
• 10:30
  was
• 10:30
  to
• 10:30
  have
• 10:30
  a
• 10:31
  hardback.
• 10:32
  And
• 10:32
  what
• 10:32
  I
• 10:33
  learned
• 10:33
  when
• 10:33
  I
• 10:34
  went
• 10:34
  to
• 10:34
  my
• 10:34
  first
• 10:34
  event,
• 10:35
  my
• 10:35
  first
• 10:36
  book
• 10:36
  fair,
• 10:36
  an
• 10:36
  indie
• 10:37
  book
• 10:37
  fair,
• 10:37
  I
• 10:37
  met
• 10:38
  an
• 10:38
  incredible
• 10:38
  writer,
• 10:39
  Seth
• 10:39
  Tucker,
• 10:40
  and
• 10:40
  he
• 10:40
  writes
• 10:40
  actually
• 10:41
  completely
• 10:41
  different
• 10:41
  books.
• 10:42
  He
• 10:42
  writes
• 10:42
  horror
• 10:42
  books
• 10:43
  and
• 10:44
  he's
• 10:44
  got
• 10:44
  a
• 10:44
  really
• 10:45
  interesting
• 10:45
  life,
• 10:45
  works
• 10:46
  in
• 10:46
  HR
• 10:46
  and
• 10:46
  all
• 10:46
  of
• 10:47
  these
• 10:47
  things
• 10:47
  that
• 10:48
  we
• 10:48
  had
• 10:48
  booths
• 10:49
  next
• 10:49
  to
• 10:49
  each
• 10:49
  other.
• 10:50
  And
• 10:50
  what's
• 10:50
  really
• 10:51
  lovely
• 10:51
  about
• 10:52
  the
• 10:52
  authorship
• 10:53
  community
• 10:53
  is
• 10:54
  there's
• 10:54
  enough
• 10:54
  space
• 10:54
  for
• 10:55
  all
• 10:55
  of
• 10:55
  us.
• 10:55
  And
• 10:56
  so
• 10:56
  everybody
• 10:56
  that
• 10:57
  I
• 10:57
  have
• 10:57
  met
• 10:58
  is
• 10:58
  willing
• 10:58
  to
• 10:59
  help
• 10:59
  and
• 10:59
  teach,
• 11:00
  and
• 11:00
  I
• 11:00
  also
• 11:00
  want
• 11:01
  to
• 11:01
  exude
• 11:02
  that.
• 11:02
  And
• 11:02
  he
• 11:03
  suggested,
• 11:04
  of
• 11:04
  all
• 11:05
  things,
• 11:05
  that
• 11:06
  I
• 11:06
  put
• 11:06
  my
• 11:06
  books
• 11:06
  together
• 11:07
  in
• 11:07
  the
• 11:07
  compilation
• 11:08
  in
• 11:08
  a
• 11:08
  special
• 11:08
  edition.
• 11:09
  And
• 11:09
  what
• 11:10
  that
• 11:10
  allowed
• 11:10
  me
• 11:10
  to
• 11:10
  do
• 11:11
  was
• 11:12
  to

  a

  do

  this

  show

  that

  I

  find
• 11:36
  a
• 11:36
  of
• 11:36
  lot,

  Guests

  on
• 11:37
  and
• 11:37
  they
• 11:38
  share
• 11:38
  ideas.
• 11:39
  This
• 11:39
  is
• 11:39
  a
• 11:39
  brand
• 11:39
  new
• 11:40
  idea
• 11:40
  that
• 11:40
  our
• 11:41
  audience
• 11:41
  is
• 11:41
  hearing
• 11:42
  for
• 11:42
  the
• 11:42
  first
• 11:42
  time,
• 11:43
  where
• 11:43
  you
• 11:43
  put
• 11:44
  together
• 11:44
  a
• 11:44
  compilation
• 11:45
  of
• 11:46
  all
• 11:46
  of
• 11:46
  your
• 11:46
  books,
• 11:47
  your
• 11:47
  four
• 11:47
  titles,
• 11:48
  and
• 11:48
  create
• 11:48
  a
• 11:49
  hardcover.
• 11:50
  And
• 11:50
  it
• 11:50
  just
• 11:50
  gives
• 11:50
  you
• 11:51
  greater
• 11:51
  distribution
• 11:53
  through,
• 11:53
  like
• 11:53
  you
• 11:54
  said,
• 11:54
  public
• 11:54
  libraries.
• 11:55
  But
• 11:55
  it
• 11:55
  also
• 11:55
  gives
• 11:55
  you
• 11:56
  something
• 11:57
  also
• 11:57
  very
• 11:57
  unique
• 11:58
  because
• 11:58
  I
• 11:58
  haven't
• 11:59
  seen
• 11:59
  too
• 11:59
  much
• 12:00
  of
• 12:00
  that.
• 12:00
  That's
• 12:01
  cool.
• 12:01
  Thank
• 12:01
  you.
• 12:02
  And
• 12:02
  what
• 12:02
  I
• 12:02
  love
• 12:02
  about
• 12:03
  it
• 12:03
  also
• 12:03
  is
• 12:03
  they
• 12:04
  all
• 12:04
  fit
• 12:04
  under
• 12:04
  one
• 12:05
  umbrella.
• 12:05
  Being
• 12:05
  True
• 12:06
  Heart
• 12:06
  Tales
• 12:06
  is
• 12:07
  what
• 12:07
  I
• 12:07
  call
• 12:07
  my
• 12:08
  books.
• 12:09
  And
• 12:09
  it's
• 12:10
  Tails.
• 12:10
  T
• 12:10
  A
• 12:10
  I
• 12:10
  L
• 12:11
  has
• 12:11
  like
• 12:11
  the
• 12:11
  Animal
• 12:12
  tales,
• 12:12
  which
• 12:12
  I
• 12:12
  love,
• 12:13
  but
• 12:13
  the
• 12:13
  whole
• 12:14
  premise
• 12:14
  of
• 12:14
  it
• 12:14
  is
• 12:14
  there
• 12:15
  are
• 12:15
  these
• 12:15
  animals
• 12:15
  that
• 12:15
  have
• 12:15
  touched
• 12:16
  my
• 12:16
  life
• 12:16
  in
• 12:16
  such
• 12:16
  a
• 12:17
  way
• 12:17
  and
• 12:17
  taught
• 12:17
  me
• 12:17
  lessons
• 12:18
  that
• 12:18
  I
• 12:18
  can
• 12:18
  share.
• 12:19
  So
• 12:19
  putting
• 12:19
  them
• 12:20
  all
• 12:20
  together
• 12:20
  just
• 12:21
  made
• 12:21
  sense
• 12:22
  to
• 12:22
  me
• 12:22
  also,
• 12:23
  because
• 12:23
  it's
• 12:23
  just
• 12:24
  different
• 12:24
  lessons
• 12:25
  that
• 12:25
  each
• 12:25
  child
• 12:26
  or
• 12:26
  adult
• 12:26
  can
• 12:27
  learn.
• 12:28
  I'm
• 12:28
  interested
• 12:29
  in
• 12:31
  knowing
• 12:31
  now
• 12:32
  that
• 12:32
  you
• 12:32
  have
• 12:32
  actually
• 12:33
  five
• 12:33
  titles.
• 12:34
  You've
• 12:34
  got
• 12:34
  your
• 12:34
  four
• 12:35
  individual
• 12:35
  titles
• 12:36
  and
• 12:36
  now
• 12:36
  you
• 12:36
  have
• 12:37
  your
• 12:37
  hardcover
• 12:39
  compilation.
• 12:40
  Tell
• 12:40
  us,
• 12:41
  do
• 12:41
  you
• 12:41
  have
• 12:41
  a
• 12:42
  children's
• 12:43
  business
• 12:43
  book
• 12:44
  plan?
• 12:44
  And
• 12:45
  if
• 12:45
  you
• 12:45
  do,
• 12:45
  what
• 12:46
  does
• 12:46
  it
• 12:46
  look
• 12:46
  like?
• 12:48
  So
• 12:48
  I
• 12:48
  have.
• 12:48
  My
• 12:49
  goal
• 12:49
  next
• 12:49
  year
• 12:49
  is
• 12:50
  to
• 12:50
  do
• 12:50
  four
• 12:50
  additional
• 12:51
  books
• 12:51
  and
• 12:51
  then
• 12:52
  I'll
• 12:52
  decide
• 12:52
  if
• 12:52
  I
• 12:52
  want
• 12:53
  to
• 12:53
  put
• 12:53
  them
• 12:53
  in
• 12:53
  a
• 12:53
  compilation
• 12:54
  so
• 12:55
  that
• 12:55
  I'll
• 12:55
  have
• 12:55
  like
• 12:55
  a
• 12:55
  series
• 12:56
  of
• 12:56
  those
• 12:56
  compilation
• 12:57
  books,
• 12:57
  if
• 12:58
  people
• 12:58
  wanted
• 12:58
  to
• 12:59
  have
• 12:59
  those
• 13:00
  kind
• 13:00
  of
• 13:00
  as
• 13:00
  their
• 13:00
  library.
• 13:02
  But
• 13:02
  I
• 13:03
  think
• 13:03
  my
• 13:03
  goal
• 13:03
  for
• 13:03
  right
• 13:04
  now
• 13:04
  is
• 13:04
  if
• 13:04
  I
• 13:05
  can
• 13:05
  find
• 13:05
  animals
• 13:06
  or
• 13:06
  stories
• 13:07
  or
• 13:07
  partnerships
• 13:08
  that
• 13:08
  align
• 13:08
  to
• 13:09
  do
• 13:09
  about.
• 13:09
  About
• 13:09
  four
• 13:10
  books
• 13:10
  a
• 13:10
  year,
• 13:10
  just
• 13:11
  so
• 13:11
  that
• 13:11
  I'll.
• 13:11
  We're
• 13:12
  also
• 13:12
  getting
• 13:12
  new
• 13:13
  material
• 13:13
  for
• 13:14
  children.
• 13:15
  The
• 13:15
  readers
• 13:15
  that
• 13:15
  are
• 13:15
  following
• 13:16
  me
• 13:16
  and
• 13:16
  the
• 13:16
  new
• 13:17
  readers
• 13:17
  that
• 13:17
  are
• 13:17
  coming,
• 13:17
  and
• 13:18
  you
• 13:18
  never
• 13:18
  know
• 13:18
  what
• 13:18
  animal
• 13:19
  is
• 13:19
  going
• 13:19
  to
• 13:19
  touch
• 13:19
  somebody's
• 13:20
  soul
• 13:21
  also
• 13:21
  in
• 13:21
  that
• 13:21
  way
• 13:22
  and
• 13:22
  make
• 13:22
  that
• 13:22
  connection.
• 13:23
  And
• 13:23
  to
• 13:23
  me,
• 13:23
  that's
• 13:23
  what's
• 13:24
  most
• 13:24
  important
• 13:24
  is
• 13:25
  that
• 13:25
  like
• 13:25
  with
• 13:25
  Goodbye
• 13:25
  Blue,
• 13:26
  if
• 13:27
  they've
• 13:27
  had
• 13:27
  loss
• 13:27
  of
• 13:27
  any
• 13:28
  kind,
• 13:29
  that's
• 13:29
  the
• 13:30
  book
• 13:30
  that
• 13:30
  they
• 13:30
  gravitate
• 13:31
  towards.
• 13:32
  And
• 13:32
  it
• 13:32
  makes
• 13:32
  sense.
• 13:33
  And
• 13:33
  I
• 13:33
  hope
• 13:33
  that
• 13:33
  it
• 13:34
  heals
• 13:34
  them
• 13:34
  in
• 13:34
  a
• 13:34
  way
• 13:34
  and
• 13:35
  gives
• 13:35
  them
• 13:35
  hope
• 13:35
  in
• 13:36
  the
• 13:36
  way
• 13:36
  that
• 13:36
  writing
• 13:36
  it
• 13:37
  did
• 13:37
  for
• 13:38
  me.
• 13:38
  And
• 13:38
  I
• 13:38
  think
• 13:38
  that's
• 13:39
  planned
• 13:40
  for
• 13:40
  right
• 13:40
  now
• 13:40
  is
• 13:40
  about
• 13:41
  four
• 13:41
  books
• 13:41
  a
• 13:41
  year.
• 13:41
  But
• 13:42
  they
• 13:42
  have
• 13:42
  to
• 13:42
  be
• 13:42
  true
• 13:42
  animal
• 13:43
  stories
• 13:44
  or
• 13:45
  so.
• 13:45
  That's
• 13:45
  very
• 13:46
  ambitious
• 13:46
  and
• 13:47
  good
• 13:47
  for
• 13:47
  you.
• 13:48
  I
• 13:48
  know
• 13:49
  with
• 13:49
  my
• 13:49
  grandchildren
• 13:50
  we've
• 13:50
  written
• 13:51
  38
• 13:51
  books
• 13:52
  in
• 13:52
  our
• 13:52
  book
• 13:52
  series,
• 13:53
  the
• 13:53
  Adventures
• 13:54
  of
• 13:54
  Caboose
• 13:54
  the
• 13:54
  Rocky
• 13:55
  Mountain
• 13:55
  Bear.
• 13:55
  But
• 13:56
  to
• 13:56
  actually
• 13:56
  bring
• 13:57
  all
• 13:58
  38
• 13:58
  books
• 13:59
  to
• 13:59
  life
• 14:00
  at
• 14:00
  this
• 14:00
  point,
• 14:01
  we've
• 14:01
  started
• 14:01
  with
• 14:02
  audiobooks
• 14:03
  and
• 14:03
  taken
• 14:04
  my
• 14:04
  young
• 14:05
  grandchildren's
• 14:06
  voices
• 14:06
  and
• 14:06
  they've
• 14:07
  read
• 14:08
  about
• 14:08
  half
• 14:08
  of
• 14:09
  our
• 14:09
  story
• 14:09
  so
• 14:10
  far
• 14:10
  and
• 14:11
  we've
• 14:11
  captured
• 14:12
  it
• 14:12
  that
• 14:12
  way.
• 14:13
  But
• 14:13
  to
• 14:13
  actually
• 14:14
  bring
• 14:15
  four
• 14:15
  books
• 14:16
  a
• 14:16
  year
• 14:16
  to
• 14:17
  print,
• 14:18
  that's
• 14:18
  remarkable.
• 14:20
  How
• 14:20
  do
• 14:20
  you
• 14:20
  find
• 14:21
  time
• 14:21
  to
• 14:21
  then
• 14:22
  market
• 14:22
  those
• 14:23
  books
• 14:23
  to
• 14:24
  fund
• 14:25
  your
• 14:26
  book
• 14:26
  business?
• 14:26
  Like,
• 14:27
  how
• 14:27
  is
• 14:27
  that
• 14:27
  happening
• 14:28
  for
• 14:28
  you?
• 14:29
  I've
• 14:29
  been
• 14:30
  very
• 14:30
  fortunate
• 14:31
  is
• 14:31
  I
• 14:31
  have
• 14:31
  a
• 14:31
  day
• 14:31
  job
• 14:32

  pays
• 14:33
  my

• 14:33
  and
• 14:33
  keeps
• 14:34
  the
• 14:34
  lights
• 14:34
  on.
• 14:34
  So
• 14:34
  this
• 14:35
  is
• 14:35
  what

• 14:37
  This
• 14:37
  is
• 14:37
  my
• 14:38
  work
• 14:38
  to
• 14:38
  give
• 14:38
  back
• 14:38
  and
• 14:39
  to
• 14:39
  make
• 14:39
  a
• 14:39
  difference.
• 14:39
  Prints
• 14:41
  and
• 14:41
  I
• 14:41
  market
• 14:42
  for
• 14:42
  a
• 14:42
  living.
• 14:43
  So
• 14:43
  I
• 14:43
  don't
• 14:44
  have
• 14:44
  to
• 14:44
  pay
• 14:44
  somebody
• 14:45
  to
• 14:45
  create
• 14:45
  flyers
• 14:46
  or
• 14:46
  ads
• 14:46
  or
• 14:46
  social
• 14:47
  media
• 14:47
  graphics
• 14:48
  or
• 14:48
  logos
• 14:49
  or
• 14:49
  any
• 14:49
  of
• 14:49
  that.
• 14:49
  So
• 14:50
  that's
• 14:50
  how
• 14:50
  I
• 14:50
  was
• 14:50
  able
• 14:51
  to
• 14:51
  brand
• 14:51
  all
• 14:51
  of
• 14:51
  this
• 14:52
  under
• 14:52
  True
• 14:52
  Heart
• 14:52
  Tales
• 14:53
  and
• 14:53
  to
• 14:53
  come
• 14:54
  up
• 14:54
  with
• 14:54
  all
• 14:55
  of
• 14:55
  that.
• 14:56
  And
• 14:56
  it
• 14:56
  all
• 14:57
  is
• 14:57
  led
• 14:57
  to
• 14:58
  make
• 14:58
  sense.
• 14:59
  And
• 14:59
  it's
• 14:59
  creating
• 15:00
  art.
• 15:00
  It's
• 15:00
  watercolor
• 15:01
  of
• 15:01
  these
• 15:02
  animals
• 15:02
  that
• 15:02
  I
• 15:02
  love
• 15:03
  in
• 15:03
  these
• 15:03
  stories
• 15:03
  that
• 15:04
  have
• 15:04
  touched
• 15:04
  me.
• 15:06
  And
• 15:06
  they
• 15:06
  come
• 15:07
  to
• 15:07
  life
• 15:07
  pretty
• 15:07
  fast
• 15:08
  once
• 15:08
  I
• 15:08
  start
• 15:08
  working
• 15:09
  on
• 15:09
  them.
• 15:09
  And
• 15:10
  I'll
• 15:10
  write
• 15:10
  and
• 15:11
  rewrite
• 15:11
  and
• 15:12
  then
• 15:12
  sometimes
• 15:12
  change
• 15:13
  the
• 15:13
  story
• 15:13
  as
• 15:14
  I'm
• 15:14
  illustrating
• 15:14
  because
• 15:15
  they
• 15:15
  don't
• 15:15
  align
• 15:15
  in
• 15:15
  a
• 15:16
  way
• 15:16
  that
• 15:16
  makes
• 15:16
  sense
• 15:17
  or
• 15:17
  flows
• 15:17
  in
• 15:18
  the
• 15:18
  way
• 15:18
  that
• 15:18
  it
• 15:18
  did
• 15:19
  in
• 15:19
  my
• 15:19
  head
• 15:19
  once
• 15:19
  it
• 15:20
  comes
• 15:20
  to
• 15:20
  life
• 15:20
  on
• 15:21
  the
• 15:21
  paper.
• 15:22
  But
• 15:22
  it's
• 15:23
  been
• 15:23
  this
• 15:23
  blessing
• 15:24
  of
• 15:25
  my
• 15:26
  day
• 15:26
  job
• 15:26
  allows
• 15:26
  me
• 15:27
  to
• 15:27
  do
• 15:27
  this
• 15:27
  for
• 15:27
  fun.
• 15:28
  It
• 15:28
  no
• 15:28
  pressure
• 15:29
  and
• 15:29
  no
• 15:29
  stress.
• 15:29
  And
• 15:30
  so
• 15:30
  obviously
• 15:30
  the
• 15:31
  goal
• 15:31
  is
• 15:31
  four
• 15:32
  books.
• 15:32
  But
• 15:32
  if
• 15:32
  four
• 15:33
  books
• 15:33
  doesn't
• 15:33
  happen
• 15:34
  next
• 15:34
  year,
• 15:34
  that's
• 15:34
  not
• 15:35
  disappointing.
• 15:37
  I
• 15:37
  have
• 15:37
  one
• 15:37
  coming
• 15:38
  out
• 15:38
  in
• 15:38
  January
• 15:38
  that
• 15:39
  is
• 15:39
  a
• 15:39
  surprise
• 15:41
  for
• 15:41
  someone.
• 15:43
  And
• 15:43
  I
• 15:43
  already
• 15:44
  have
• 15:44
  a
• 15:44
  partnership
• 15:45
  in
• 15:45
  the
• 15:45
  works.
• 15:46
  And
• 15:46
  that
• 15:46
  book
• 15:46
  is
• 15:47
  being
• 15:47
  reviewed
• 15:47
  by
• 15:48
  that
• 15:48
  partnership,
• 15:49
  which
• 15:49
  I'm
• 15:49
  very
• 15:49
  excited
• 15:50
  about.
• 15:50
  And
• 15:50
  that
• 15:51
  will
• 15:51
  come
• 15:51
  out
• 15:51
  later
• 15:52
  in
• 15:52
  the
• 15:52
  year.
• 15:52
  And
• 15:52
  that
• 15:53
  one's
• 15:53
  in
• 15:53
  its
• 15:53
  draft
• 15:54
  stage.
• 15:55
  So
• 15:55
  really
• 15:55
  that
• 15:55
  leaves
• 15:56
  me
• 15:56
  to
• 15:56
  two
• 15:56
  more
• 15:57
  books
• 15:57
  that'll
• 15:57
  be
• 15:57
  my
• 15:58
  stories
• 15:58
  of
• 15:58
  something
• 15:58
  that
• 15:59
  I
• 15:59
  want
• 15:59
  to
• 15:59
  tell
• 15:59
  and
• 16:00
  something
• 16:00
  that
• 16:00
  I
• 16:00
  want
• 16:00
  that
• 16:01
  has
• 16:01
  touched
• 16:01
  me.
• 16:02
  And
• 16:02
  I've
• 16:03
  on
• 16:03
  and
• 16:04
  cuddled
• 16:04
  cows
• 16:05
  for
• 16:05
  inspiration.
• 16:06
  Hiling
• 16:06
  cows.
• 16:07
  I
• 16:07
  went
• 16:07
  to
• 16:07
  a
• 16:07
  farm
• 16:08
  and
• 16:08
  I
• 16:08
  met
• 16:08
  capybaras
• 16:09
  and
• 16:10
  did
• 16:10
  a
• 16:10
  capybara
• 16:11
  cafe.
• 16:12
  And
• 16:12
  so
• 16:12
  I'm
• 16:12
  always
• 16:12
  looking
• 16:13
  for
• 16:13
  those
• 16:13
  animals
• 16:14
  that
• 16:14
  touch
• 16:14
  my
• 16:14
  lives
• 16:15
  in
• 16:16
  a
• 16:16
  way
• 16:16
  that
• 16:16
  lends
• 16:17
  itself
• 16:17
  to
• 16:17
  this
• 16:18
  story.
• 16:18
  And
• 16:18
  looking
• 16:19
  for
• 16:19
  those
• 16:20
  full
• 16:20
  life
• 16:20
  moments
• 16:22
  keeping
• 16:22
  me
• 16:22
  living.
• 16:23
  It's
• 16:23
  keeping
• 16:23
  life
• 16:24
  exciting.
• 16:24
  And
• 16:24
  then
• 16:25
  when
• 16:25
  something
• 16:26
  has
• 16:26
  to
• 16:26
  be.
• 16:26
  Written,
• 16:27
  I
• 16:28
  can
• 16:28
  tell
• 16:28
  from
• 16:28
  the
• 16:28
  passion
• 16:29
  and
• 16:29
  the
• 16:30
  love
• 16:30
  in
• 16:30
  your
• 16:30
  voice
• 16:31
  for
• 16:31
  doing
• 16:32
  this.
• 16:32
  And
• 16:33
  that's
• 16:33
  what
• 16:33
  I
• 16:33
  find
• 16:34
  when
• 16:34
  I
• 16:35
  talk
• 16:35
  to
• 16:35
  everybody
• 16:36
  about
• 16:37
  do
• 16:38
  they
• 16:38
  have
• 16:38
  a
• 16:38
  book
• 16:39
  business
• 16:39
  plan
• 16:40
  to
• 16:40
  support
• 16:41
  their
• 16:41
  books?
• 16:41
  I
• 16:42
  would
• 16:42
  say
• 16:42
  99.9%
• 16:44
  come
• 16:44
  to
• 16:44
  it.
• 16:44
  Because
• 16:44
  they
• 16:45
  had
• 16:45
  a
• 16:45
  passion
• 16:46
  and
• 16:46
  a
• 16:46
  love
• 16:47
  to
• 16:47
  do
• 16:47
  it.
• 16:48
  And.
• 16:49
  And
• 16:49
  that's
• 16:49
  very
• 16:49
  evident
• 16:50
  how
• 16:51
  you're
• 16:51
  talking
• 16:51
  and
• 16:52
  describing
• 16:53
  your
• 16:53
  children's
• 16:54
  book
• 16:54
  author
• 16:54
  adventure.
• 16:56
  And
• 16:56
  I
• 16:57
  think
• 16:57
  that's
• 16:57
  what
• 16:57
  it's
• 16:57
  felt
• 16:58
  the
• 16:58
  most
• 16:58
  like,
• 16:58
  is
• 16:59
  it
• 16:59
  just
• 16:59
  an
• 16:59
  adventure.
• 17:00
  And
• 17:00
  it's
• 17:00
  been
• 17:00
  exciting.
• 17:02
  And
• 17:02
  I
• 17:02
  made
• 17:02
  these
• 17:03
  incredible
• 17:03
  connections
• 17:04
  and
• 17:04
  I
• 17:04
  met
• 17:04
  amazing
• 17:05
  people
• 17:05
  along
• 17:06
  the
• 17:06
  way.
• 17:06
  And
• 17:06
  everywhere
• 17:07
  I've
• 17:07
  been
• 17:07
  has
• 17:08
  invited
• 17:08
  me
• 17:08
  back,
• 17:09
  which
• 17:09
  has
• 17:09
  been
• 17:09
  so
• 17:10
  wonderful.
• 17:10
  Whether
• 17:11
  it's
• 17:11
  been
• 17:11
  a
• 17:11
  book
• 17:11
  signing
• 17:12
  or
• 17:12
  to
• 17:12
  sell
• 17:13
  or
• 17:13
  to
• 17:14
  do
• 17:14
  a
• 17:14
  story
• 17:14
  time
• 17:15
  or
• 17:15
  a
• 17:15
  craft
• 17:15
  that
• 17:16
  correlates
• 17:16
  with
• 17:16
  the
• 17:17
  book,
• 17:18
  I
• 17:18
  keep
• 17:18
  getting
• 17:18
  invited
• 17:19
  back.
• 17:19
  I'm
• 17:20
  booking
• 17:20
  through
• 17:20
  2026
• 17:21
  right
• 17:22
  now
• 17:22
  and
• 17:22
  booking
• 17:23
  up
• 17:23
  into,
• 17:23
  you
• 17:24
  know
• 17:24
  what
• 17:24
  I'm
• 17:24
  saying?
• 17:25
  20.
• 17:26
  And
• 17:26
  it
• 17:27
  feels
• 17:27
  like
• 17:27
  what
• 17:27
  I'm
• 17:28
  supposed
• 17:28
  to
• 17:28
  be
• 17:28
  doing
• 17:28
  because
• 17:29
  these
• 17:29
  doors
• 17:29
  keep
• 17:30
  opening
• 17:30
  and
• 17:30
  it
• 17:31
  doesn't
• 17:31
  feel
• 17:31
  like
• 17:31
  work.
• 17:32
  It's
• 17:32
  fun.
• 17:32
  It's
• 17:33
  exciting.
• 17:34
  Terrific.
• 17:34
  I
• 17:34
  want
• 17:35
  to
• 17:35
  talk
• 17:35
  to
• 17:35
  you
• 17:35
  a
• 17:35
  little
• 17:35
  bit
• 17:35
  more
• 17:36
  about
• 17:36
  your
• 17:36
  book
• 17:36
  formats
• 17:37
  because
• 17:38
  when
• 17:38
  I
• 17:38
  went
• 17:38
  to
• 17:39
  Amazon,
• 17:39
  and
• 17:40
  that's
• 17:40
  where
• 17:40
  a
• 17:40
  lot
• 17:40
  of

  us
• 17:41
  go
• 17:41
  as

  newly

  minted
• 17:43
  children's
• 17:43
  book
• 17:43
  authors,
• 17:44
  and
• 17:45
  I
• 17:45
  notice
• 17:46
  you
• 17:46

• 17:46
  your

• 17:47

• 17:48

• 17:51
  you
• 17:51
  also
• 17:52
  have
• 17:52
  your
• 17:52
  paperback.
• 17:53
  But
• 17:53
  I
• 17:54
  noticed
• 17:55
  when
• 17:55
  it
• 17:55
  comes
• 17:55
  to
• 17:56
  your
• 17:56
  ebook
• 17:56
  version,
• 17:57
  not

• 18:03
  why
• 18:04
  you
• 18:04

• 18:04
  that.
• 18:06
  So
• 18:06
  the
• 18:06
  only
• 18:06
  one
• 18:07
  that
• 18:07
  is

  not

  the
• 18:10
  compilation.
• 18:11
  The
• 18:12
  purpose
• 18:12
  of
• 18:13
  that
• 18:13
  was
• 18:14
  because
• 18:14
  I
• 18:14
  want
• 18:15
  that
• 18:15
  book
• 18:15
  to
• 18:15
  be
• 18:15
  tangible.
• 18:16
  I
• 18:16
  want
• 18:16
  that
• 18:16
  book
• 18:17
  to
• 18:17
  be
• 18:17
  held
• 18:17
  and
• 18:18
  I
• 18:18
  want
• 18:18
  you
• 18:18
  to
• 18:18
  feel
• 18:19
  all
• 18:19
  of
• 18:19
  the
• 18:19
  stories
• 18:20
  and
• 18:20
  the
• 18:20
  experiences.
• 18:22
  And
• 18:23
  there
• 18:23
  was
• 18:23
  something
• 18:23
  special
• 18:24
  about
• 18:24
  putting
• 18:24
  it
• 18:24
  all
• 18:25
  together
• 18:25
  and
• 18:25
  having
• 18:25
  a
• 18:26
  hardback
• 18:26
  book
• 18:26
  and
• 18:27
  having
• 18:27
  enough
• 18:27
  of
• 18:27
  a
• 18:27
  page
• 18:28
  count
• 18:28
  and
• 18:28
  enough
• 18:29
  True
• 18:29
  Heart
• 18:29
  tales
• 18:30
  together
• 18:31
  that
• 18:31
  I
• 18:31
  didn't
• 18:32
  want,
• 18:33
  especially
• 18:33
  as
• 18:34
  a
• 18:34
  designer
• 18:34
  for
• 18:35
  a
• 18:35
  living,
• 18:35
  I
• 18:36
  love
• 18:36
  that
• 18:36
  tangibility
• 18:37
  of
• 18:37
  holding
• 18:37
  a
• 18:37
  book.
• 18:38
  The
• 18:38
  way
• 18:38
  the
• 18:38
  paper
• 18:38
  feels
• 18:39
  in
• 18:39
  your
• 18:39
  hands,
• 18:40
  the
• 18:40
  way
• 18:41
  turning
• 18:41
  the
• 18:41
  page
• 18:42
  feels.
• 18:43
  I
• 18:43
  didn't
• 18:43
  want
• 18:43
  to
• 18:43
  diminish
• 18:44
  anything
• 18:44
  about
• 18:45
  the
• 18:45
  whole
• 18:45
  compilation
• 18:46
  of
• 18:46
  books.
• 18:46
  So
• 18:47
  that
• 18:47
  reason
• 18:49
  that
• 18:49
  I
• 18:49
  did
• 18:49
  not
• 18:49
  offer
• 18:50
  that
• 18:50
  particular
• 18:52
  compilation
• 18:53
  format.
• 18:53
  Okay,
• 18:54
  talk
• 18:54
  to
• 18:54
  us
• 18:55
  now.
• 18:55
  Are
• 18:55
  you
• 18:55
  using
• 18:56
  ingramsparks
• 18:57
  to
• 18:57
  reach
• 18:58
  all
• 18:58
  other
• 18:59
  online
• 18:59
  retailers?
• 19:01
  I
• 19:01
  am
• 19:01
  not.
• 19:02
  I
• 19:02
  have
• 19:02
  been
• 19:02
  very
• 19:03
  fortunate
• 19:03
  to
• 19:04
  do
• 19:04
  it
• 19:04
  with
• 19:04
  kdp
• 19:05
  and
• 19:05
  I've
• 19:05
  gotten
• 19:06
  into
• 19:07
  books
• 19:07
  a
• 19:07
  million.
• 19:08
  I'll
• 19:08
  have
• 19:08
  some
• 19:08
  events
• 19:08
  with
• 19:09
  some
• 19:09
  books
• 19:09
  and
• 19:09
  millions.
• 19:10
  They're
• 19:10
  actually
• 19:10
  selling
• 19:11
  them
• 19:11
  online.
• 19:12
  And
• 19:12
  I've
• 19:12
  gotten
• 19:13
  into
• 19:13
  Barnes
• 19:13
  and
• 19:13
  Noble
• 19:14
  through
• 19:14
  consignment.
• 19:15
  But
• 19:15
  then
• 19:15
  I've
• 19:16
  been
• 19:16
  really
• 19:16
  blessed
• 19:17
  that
• 19:17
  many
• 19:17
  indie
• 19:18
  bookstores
• 19:20
  have
• 19:20
  picked
• 19:20
  up
• 19:20
  my
• 19:21
  books
• 19:21
  and
• 19:21
  sold
• 19:21
  them
• 19:22
  or
• 19:22
  allowed
• 19:22
  me
• 19:22
  to
• 19:23
  come
• 19:23
  in
• 19:23
  for
• 19:23
  signings.
• 19:24
  Good
• 19:24
  for
• 19:24
  you.
• 19:25
  I've
• 19:25
  Been
• 19:25
  doing
• 19:25
  it
• 19:26
  all
• 19:26
  myself
• 19:26
  and
• 19:27
  all
• 19:27
  with
• 19:27
  kdp,
• 19:28
  with
• 19:28
  kdp.
• 19:29
  And
• 19:29
  our
• 19:29
  audience
• 19:30
  has
• 19:30
  heard
• 19:30
  this
• 19:30
  before,
• 19:31
  but
• 19:31
  kdp,
• 19:33
  which
• 19:33
  is
• 19:33
  a
• 19:34
  part
• 19:34
  of
• 19:34
  Amazon
• 19:35
  and
• 19:35
  it's
• 19:36
  Kendall
• 19:36
  Direct
• 19:36
  Press,
• 19:37
  and
• 19:38
  what
• 19:38
  KDP
• 19:39
  does
• 19:39
  is
• 19:39
  they
• 19:39
  do
• 19:40
  not
• 19:40
  do
• 19:40
  children's
• 19:41
  hardcover
• 19:41
  books.
• 19:43
  They
• 19:43
  only
• 19:43
  start
• 19:44
  with
• 19:44
  hardcover
• 19:44
  books
• 19:45
  at
• 19:45
  75
• 19:46
  pages.
• 19:47
  And
• 19:48
  so
• 19:48
  your
• 19:49
  compilation
• 19:49
  is
• 19:50
  how
• 19:50
  many
• 19:50
  pages?
• 19:51
  Each
• 19:51
  book
• 19:52
  is
• 19:52
  about
• 19:52
  30
• 19:52
  to
• 19:53
  40
• 19:53
  pages
• 19:53
  and
• 19:54
  it's
• 19:54
  four
• 19:54
  stories.
• 19:55
  So
• 19:55
  I
• 19:55
  think
• 19:55
  it's
• 19:55
  around
• 19:56
  120.
• 19:57
  What
• 19:57
  I'm
• 19:57
  trying
• 19:57
  to
• 19:58
  explain
• 19:58
  to
• 19:59
  the
• 19:59
  audience
• 19:59
  is
• 20:00
  that
• 20:01
  with
• 20:01
  your
• 20:01
  compilation,
• 20:02
  the
• 20:02
  nice
• 20:03
  thing
• 20:03
  about
• 20:03
  it
• 20:03
  is
• 20:04
  you
• 20:04
  can
• 20:04
  get
• 20:04
  that
• 20:04
  printed
• 20:05
  in
• 20:05
  hardcover
• 20:06
  through
• 20:07
  kdp.
• 20:08
  Correct?
• 20:09
  Correct.
• 20:09
  And
• 20:09
  that's
• 20:10
  the
• 20:10
  only
• 20:10
  version
• 20:11
  that
• 20:11
  is
• 20:11
  a
• 20:11
  hardcover.
• 20:12
  And
• 20:12
  I
• 20:13
  don't
• 20:13
  offer
• 20:13
  it
• 20:13
  in
• 20:13
  a
• 20:13
  soft
• 20:14
  cover
• 20:14
  format.
• 20:14
  And
• 20:15
  I
• 20:15
  also
• 20:15
  don't
• 20:15
  offer
• 20:16
  it
• 20:16
  in
• 20:17
  the
• 20:17
  ebook
• 20:17
  format,
• 20:18
  as
• 20:18
  we
• 20:18
  discussed.
• 20:19
  And
• 20:19
  that
• 20:19
  was
• 20:20
  intention
• 20:20
  of
• 20:20
  the
• 20:21
  compilation.
• 20:21
  I
• 20:22
  want
• 20:22
  our
• 20:22
  audience
• 20:23
  to
• 20:23
  understand
• 20:23
  that
• 20:24
  anything
• 20:25
  under
• 20:25
  75
• 20:26
  pages
• 20:27
  as
• 20:27
  a
• 20:27
  children's
• 20:28
  book,
• 20:28
  KDP
• 20:29
  doesn't
• 20:30
  print
• 20:30
  that
• 20:30
  hardcover
• 20:31
  format.
• 20:33
  So
• 20:33
  you've
• 20:33
  got
• 20:33
  your
• 20:34
  soft
• 20:34
  cover
• 20:34
  formats
• 20:35
  in
• 20:35
  single
• 20:36
  title
• 20:36
  on
• 20:36
  Amazon.
• 20:37
  And
• 20:38
  then
• 20:38
  because
• 20:38
  of
• 20:39
  your
• 20:39
  compilation,
• 20:40
  and
• 20:40
  that's
• 20:41
  what
• 20:41
  I
• 20:41
  want
• 20:41
  people
• 20:42
  to
• 20:42
  understand
• 20:43
  is
• 20:43
  that
• 20:44
  you
• 20:44
  found
• 20:44
  a
• 20:44
  way
• 20:45
  to
• 20:45
  have
• 20:46
  KDP
• 20:47
  print
• 20:47
  your
• 20:47
  children's
• 20:48
  book
• 20:49
  because
• 20:49
  you
• 20:49
  did
• 20:49
  a
• 20:50
  compilation
• 20:51
  of
• 20:51
  four
• 20:51
  of
• 20:52
  your
• 20:52
  titles,
• 20:52
  which
• 20:52
  is
• 20:53
  just
• 20:53
  fantastic.
• 20:55
  Thank
• 20:55
  you.
• 20:56
  Yeah.
• 20:56
  And
• 20:56
  like
• 20:56
  I
• 20:56
  said,
• 20:57
  that
• 20:57
  was
• 20:57
  somebody
• 20:58
  helping
• 20:58
  and
• 20:58
  teaching
• 20:59
  me
• 21:00
  along
• 21:00
  the
• 21:00
  way.
• 21:01
  So
• 21:01
  I
• 21:01
  was
• 21:02
  blessed
• 21:03
  to
• 21:03
  get
• 21:03
  next
• 21:04
  to
• 21:04
  somebody
• 21:04
  and
• 21:05
  talk
• 21:05
  about
• 21:05
  the
• 21:05
  business
• 21:06
  and
• 21:06
  where
• 21:06
  I
• 21:06
  was
• 21:07
  and
• 21:07
  what
• 21:07
  I
• 21:07
  had
• 21:07
  and
• 21:08
  to
• 21:08
  brainstorm
• 21:09
  ideas
• 21:09
  while
• 21:10
  we
• 21:10
  were
• 21:10
  sitting
• 21:10
  there
• 21:10
  and
• 21:11
  sharing
• 21:11
  our
• 21:12
  stories,
• 21:13
  as
• 21:14
  Brittany's
• 21:14
  described.
• 21:15
  Is
• 21:16
  that
• 21:17
  the
• 21:17
  person
• 21:17
  that
• 21:18
  she
• 21:18
  talked
• 21:19
  to,
• 21:20
  the
• 21:20
  book
• 21:20
  author,
• 21:22
  his
• 21:22
  genre
• 21:23
  was
• 21:23
  horror.
• 21:23
  Yeah,
• 21:24
  his
• 21:24
  name
• 21:24
  is
• 21:24
  Seth
• 21:24
  Tucker
• 21:25
  and
• 21:25
  he
• 21:25
  writes
• 21:26
  horror
• 21:26
  books.
• 21:26
  And
• 21:27
  like
• 21:27
  these
• 21:27
  mystery
• 21:28
  or
• 21:28
  mystique
• 21:29
  kind
• 21:29
  of
• 21:29
  genre.
• 21:30
  I'm
• 21:30
  probably
• 21:30
  not
• 21:31
  doing
• 21:31
  it
• 21:31
  justice
• 21:31
  at
• 21:32
  all,
• 21:32
  but
• 21:33
  completely
• 21:33
  different.
• 21:34
  Yes.
• 21:35
  And
• 21:35
  that's
• 21:35
  fantastic.
• 21:36
  Just
• 21:36
  so
• 21:36
  everyone
• 21:37
  again
• 21:37
  understands
• 21:38
  that
• 21:39
  if
• 21:39
  you
• 21:39
  get
• 21:39
  around,
• 21:40
  an
• 21:40
  author
• 21:41
  doesn't
• 21:41
  have
• 21:41
  to
• 21:42
  necessarily
• 21:42
  be
• 21:42
  a
• 21:42
  children's
• 21:43
  book
• 21:43
  author.
• 21:44
  Just
• 21:44
  pick
• 21:45
  their
• 21:45
  brain.
• 21:45
  And
• 21:45
  look
• 21:46
  what
• 21:46
  happened
• 21:46
  for
• 21:46
  Britney
• 21:47
  is
• 21:48
  he
• 21:48
  talked
• 21:49
  Britney
• 21:49
  into
• 21:50
  looking
• 21:50
  at
• 21:50
  a
• 21:50
  compilation.
• 21:51
  And
• 21:52
  because
• 21:52
  Brittany
• 21:53
  was
• 21:53
  able
• 21:53
  to
• 21:53
  do
• 21:54
  a
• 21:54
  compilation,
• 21:55
  she
• 21:55
  was
• 21:55
  able
• 21:55
  to
• 21:55
  get
• 21:56
  enough
• 21:56
  pages
• 21:57
  in
• 21:57
  her
• 21:57
  compilation
• 21:58
  to
• 21:59
  have
• 21:59
  her
• 21:59
  hardcover
• 22:00
  book,
• 22:00
  children's
• 22:01
  book,
• 22:02
  printed
• 22:02
  through
• 22:02
  kdp.
• 22:04
  Just
• 22:04
  amazing.
• 22:05
  I
• 22:05
  want
• 22:05
  to
• 22:05
  talk
• 22:05
  to
• 22:06
  you
• 22:06
  about
• 22:06
  your
• 22:06
  publishing
• 22:07
  approach,
• 22:08
  because
• 22:08
  on
• 22:09
  the
• 22:09
  show
• 22:09
  we
• 22:09
  talk
• 22:09
  about
• 22:10
  being
• 22:11
  traditionally
• 22:11
  published,
• 22:13
  self
• 22:13
  published,
• 22:14
  which
• 22:14
  is
• 22:14
  a
• 22:14
  form
• 22:15
  of
• 22:15
  third
• 22:15
  party
• 22:16
  or
• 22:16
  hybrid
• 22:16
  publishing,
• 22:17
  and
• 22:17
  then
• 22:18
  independent
• 22:19
  published,
• 22:19
  where
• 22:19
  you
• 22:19
  are
• 22:20
  actually
• 22:21
  the
• 22:21
  publisher.
• 22:22
  Tell
• 22:22
  us
• 22:22
  your
• 22:23
  type
• 22:23
  of
• 22:23
  publishing
• 22:24
  approach
• 22:25
  and
• 22:25
  why
• 22:25
  you
• 22:25
  took
• 22:25
  that
• 22:26
  route.
• 22:28
  So
• 22:28
  I'm
• 22:28
  Independently
• 22:29
  publishing.
• 22:29
  I'm
• 22:30
  doing
• 22:30
  it
• 22:30
  all
• 22:30
  from
• 22:30
  writing
• 22:30
  to
• 22:31
  design
• 22:31
  to
• 22:31
  illustration
• 22:32
  to
• 22:32
  publishing.
• 22:34
  And
• 22:34
  I
• 22:34
  took
• 22:34
  that
• 22:35
  route
• 22:35
  because
• 22:37
  I
• 22:37
  didn't
• 22:37
  know
• 22:38
  necessarily
• 22:39
  any
• 22:39
  better
• 22:40
  initially.
• 22:41
  I
• 22:41
  knew
• 22:41
  I
• 22:42
  had
• 22:42
  an
• 22:42
  idea
• 22:42
  in
• 22:43
  my
• 22:43
  heart
• 22:43
  and
• 22:43
  I
• 22:43
  wanted
• 22:44
  to
• 22:44
  bring
• 22:44
  it
• 22:44
  to
• 22:44
  life.
• 22:45
  And
• 22:45
  I
• 22:45
  started
• 22:45
  doing
• 22:45
  research
• 22:46
  and
• 22:46
  I
• 22:47
  found
• 22:47
  an
• 22:47
  arena
• 22:48
  with
• 22:48
  KDP
• 22:49
  that
• 22:49
  allowed
• 22:50
  me
• 22:50
  to
• 22:50
  self
• 22:51
  publish.
• 22:52
  And
• 22:52
  I've
• 22:53
  had
• 22:53
  publishers
• 22:53
  come
• 22:54
  and
• 22:54
  talk
• 22:54
  to
• 22:54
  me
• 22:55
  and
• 22:55
  been
• 22:55
  interested
• 22:56
  in
• 22:56
  taking
• 22:56
  my
• 22:57
  next
• 22:57
  stories,
• 22:58
  but
• 22:58
  to
• 22:59
  me,
• 22:59
  it's
• 23:00
  making
• 23:00
  it
• 23:00
  more
• 23:00
  of
• 23:01
  a
• 23:01
  job
• 23:01
  and
• 23:02
  less
• 23:02
  fun.
• 23:03
  It's
• 23:03
  a
• 23:04
  hobby
• 23:04
  right
• 23:04
  now.
• 23:04
  It's
• 23:04
  a
• 23:05
  hobby
• 23:05
  that
• 23:05
  I'm
• 23:06
  very
• 23:06
  passionate
• 23:07
  about.
• 23:07
  And
• 23:07
  I
• 23:07
  get
• 23:08
  to
• 23:08
  control
• 23:08
  the
• 23:08
  process
• 23:08
  and
• 23:09
  I
• 23:09
  get
• 23:09
  to
• 23:09
  control
• 23:09
  the
• 23:10
  timeline
• 23:10
  and
• 23:10
  I
• 23:10
  get
• 23:11
  to
• 23:11
  control
• 23:11
  where
• 23:12
  I
• 23:12
  go
• 23:12
  and
• 23:13
  sign
• 23:13
  and
• 23:13
  who
• 23:14
  I
• 23:14
  work
• 23:14
  with
• 23:14
  and
• 23:15
  what
• 23:15
  stories
• 23:16
  I
• 23:16
  tell.
• 23:17
  And
• 23:17
  that,
• 23:17
  to
• 23:17
  me,
• 23:17
  is
• 23:18
  the
• 23:18
  best
• 23:18
  part.
• 23:18
  It
• 23:19
  aligns
• 23:19
  with
• 23:19
  the
• 23:19
  brand
• 23:20
  or
• 23:20
  it
• 23:20
  doesn't.
• 23:21
  It
• 23:21
  aligns
• 23:21
  with
• 23:21
  my
• 23:22
  heart.
• 23:22
  Does
• 23:23
  it?
• 23:23
  And
• 23:24
  that's
• 23:24
  why
• 23:24
  I've
• 23:24
  taken
• 23:24
  the
• 23:25
  arena
• 23:25
  that
• 23:25
  I've
• 23:25
  taken.
• 23:25
  Is
• 23:26
  that
• 23:26
  so
• 23:26
  that
• 23:26
  I
• 23:26
  can
• 23:26
  control
• 23:27
  the
• 23:27
  whole
• 23:27
  thing
• 23:28
  and
• 23:28
  stay
• 23:29
  true
• 23:29
  to
• 23:29
  who
• 23:29
  I
• 23:29
  am
• 23:30
  as
• 23:30
  a
• 23:30
  person
• 23:30
  and
• 23:31
  true
• 23:31
  to
• 23:31
  my
• 23:31
  core
• 23:32
  values
• 23:32
  and
• 23:32
  true
• 23:33
  to
• 23:33
  what's
• 23:33
  important
• 23:34
  to
• 23:34
  me
• 23:34
  and
• 23:34
  why
• 23:35
  I
• 23:35
  started
• 23:35
  this
• 23:35
  whole
• 23:36
  journey.
• 23:36
  And
• 23:36
  I
• 23:36
  can
• 23:37
  tell
• 23:37
  it
• 23:37
  gives
• 23:37
  you
• 23:37
  a
• 23:38
  special
• 23:38
  feeling
• 23:39
  just
• 23:39
  by
• 23:39
  your
• 23:40
  facial
• 23:40
  expression.
• 23:41
  Yeah,
• 23:41
  no,
• 23:42
  thank
• 23:42
  you.
• 23:43
  When
• 23:43
  it
• 23:43
  came
• 23:43
  to
• 23:44
  publishing,
• 23:44
  and
• 23:45
  I
• 23:45
  want
• 23:45
  to
• 23:45
  take
• 23:46
  you
• 23:46
  back
• 23:46
  almost
• 23:47
  to
• 23:47
  the
• 23:47
  beginning,
• 23:48
  when
• 23:48
  it
• 23:48
  came
• 23:48
  to
• 23:48
  publishing
• 23:49
  your
• 23:49
  children's
• 23:50
  book,
• 23:50
  what
• 23:51
  was
• 23:51
  the
• 23:51
  biggest
• 23:52
  challenge
• 23:52
  or
• 23:53
  frustration?
• 23:55
  Honestly,
• 23:55
  getting
• 23:55
  the
• 23:55
  ebook
• 23:56
  format.
• 23:57
  It
• 23:57
  was
• 23:57
  easy
• 23:58
  to
• 23:58
  design,
• 23:58
  it
• 23:59
  was
• 23:59
  easy
• 23:59
  to
• 23:59
  upload
• 24:00
  to
• 24:00
  KDP
• 24:02
  from
• 24:02
  that
• 24:02
  standpoint
• 24:03
  and
• 24:03
  to
• 24:03
  hold
• 24:03
  a
• 24:03
  printer
• 24:04
  proof
• 24:04
  and
• 24:04
  all
• 24:04
  of
• 24:04
  that,
• 24:05
  that
• 24:05
  was
• 24:05
  exciting
• 24:05
  and
• 24:06
  that
• 24:06
  was
• 24:06
  fun.
• 24:07
  But
• 24:08
  turning
• 24:08
  it
• 24:08
  into
• 24:08
  an
• 24:09
  ebook
• 24:09
  that
• 24:09
  would
• 24:09
  actually
• 24:10
  upload
• 24:10
  and
• 24:11
  sell
• 24:11
  and
• 24:11
  figuring
• 24:12
  all
• 24:12
  of
• 24:12
  that
• 24:12
  out,
• 24:13
  it
• 24:13
  just
• 24:13
  was
• 24:13
  different
• 24:13
  software
• 24:14
  and
• 24:14
  it
• 24:14
  was
• 24:14
  a
• 24:15
  different
• 24:15
  way
• 24:15
  of
• 24:16
  learning
• 24:17
  and
• 24:17
  figuring,
• 24:18
  and
• 24:18
  it
• 24:18
  took
• 24:19
  me
• 24:20
  longer
• 24:21
  than
• 24:21
  it
• 24:21
  should
• 24:21
  have
• 24:21
  to
• 24:22
  figure
• 24:22
  out
• 24:22
  that
• 24:23
  format
• 24:23
  and
• 24:24
  how
• 24:24
  to
• 24:24
  upload
• 24:24
  all
• 24:25
  of
• 24:25
  that
• 24:25
  in
• 24:25
  a
• 24:25
  way
• 24:25
  that
• 24:26
  works
• 24:26
  properly
• 24:28
  and
• 24:28
  reads
• 24:28
  on
• 24:29
  a
• 24:29
  reader
• 24:29
  properly
• 24:30
  and
• 24:30
  all
• 24:30
  of
• 24:30
  that.
• 24:31
  And
• 24:31
  I
• 24:31
  would
• 24:31
  say
• 24:31
  that
• 24:32
  initial
• 24:33
  proof
• 24:34
  was
• 24:34
  the
• 24:35
  most
• 24:35
  frustrating
• 24:36
  part
• 24:36
  of
• 24:36
  all
• 24:36
  of
• 24:36
  it.
• 24:36
  The
• 24:37
  first
• 24:37
  book
• 24:37
  and
• 24:37
  the
• 24:37
  first
• 24:38
  time
• 24:38
  doing
• 24:38
  all
• 24:38
  of
• 24:39
  that.
• 24:39
  Brittany
• 24:40
  has
• 24:40
  done
• 24:42
  all
• 24:42
  the
• 24:43
  work,
• 24:43
  so
• 24:43
  she's
• 24:44
  learned
• 24:44
  this
• 24:45
  skill
• 24:46
  and
• 24:46
  being
• 24:47
  able
• 24:47
  to
• 24:47
  download
• 24:48
  the
• 24:48
  files,
• 24:49
  whether
• 24:49
  it's
• 24:50
  print
• 24:50
  format
• 24:51
  or
• 24:51
  ebook
• 24:52
  format,
• 24:53
  Brittany's
• 24:53
  doing
• 24:54
  the
• 24:54
  work.
• 24:55
  Generally,
• 24:56
  most
• 24:56
  of
• 24:56
  us
• 24:56
  don't
• 24:57
  have
• 24:57
  that
• 24:57
  skill.
• 24:58
  I
• 24:58
  know
• 24:58
  I
• 24:58
  don't
• 24:59
  have
• 24:59
  that
• 24:59
  skill
• 24:59
  set.
• 25:00
  I
• 25:00
  hired
• 25:00
  someone
• 25:01
  to
• 25:01
  do
• 25:01
  that.
• 25:02
  One
• 25:02
  thing
• 25:03
  I
• 25:03
  would
• 25:03
  suggest
• 25:04
  is
• 25:05
  as
• 25:05
  a
• 25:06
  children's
• 25:06
  book
• 25:06
  author
• 25:07
  or
• 25:07
  aspiring
• 25:07
  children's
• 25:08
  book
• 25:08
  Author
• 25:09
  is.
• 25:09
  We.
• 25:11
  We
• 25:11
  looked
• 25:11
  around
• 25:12
  and
• 25:12
  we
• 25:12
  found
• 25:13
  a
• 25:14
  book
• 25:14
  formatter
• 25:16
  that
• 25:16
  had
• 25:17
  expertise
• 25:18
  in
• 25:18
  both
• 25:18
  print
• 25:19
  and
• 25:20
  in
• 25:20
  ebook.
• 25:21
  It
• 25:22
  was
• 25:22
  nice
• 25:22
  because
• 25:22
  we
• 25:23
  just
• 25:23
  could
• 25:23
  go
• 25:23
  to
• 25:24
  One
• 25:24
  Stop
• 25:24
  Shop
• 25:25
  and
• 25:25
  have
• 25:26
  someone
• 25:27
  understand
• 25:28
  our
• 25:28
  book
• 25:29
  and
• 25:29
  be
• 25:29
  able
• 25:29
  to
• 25:30
  create
• 25:30
  both
• 25:31
  files
• 25:32
  as
• 25:32
  Brittany's
• 25:33
  talking
• 25:33
  about.
• 25:33
  But
• 25:34
  hats
• 25:34
  off
• 25:34
  to
• 25:35
  you,
• 25:35
  Brittany,
• 25:35
  for
• 25:36
  taking
• 25:36
  on
• 25:36
  that
• 25:37
  challenge
• 25:37
  and
• 25:37
  doing
• 25:37
  it.
• 25:39
  Thank
• 25:39
  you.
• 25:39
  I
• 25:40
  appreciate
• 25:40
  it.
• 25:40
  It's
• 25:40
  definitely
• 25:41
  been
• 25:41
  a
• 25:41
  challenge,
• 25:42
  at
• 25:42
  least
• 25:42
  for
• 25:42
  the
• 25:42
  first
• 25:42
  go
• 25:43
  round.
• 25:43
  And
• 25:43
  now,
• 25:43
  like
• 25:44
  you
• 25:44
  said,
• 25:44
  I
• 25:44
  have
• 25:45
  the
• 25:45
  ability
• 25:45
  to
• 25:46
  do
• 25:46
  both.
• 25:47
  And
• 25:47
  for
• 25:47
  the
• 25:48
  books
• 25:48
  that
• 25:48
  come
• 25:48
  out
• 25:49
  as
• 25:49
  individual
• 25:49
  books
• 25:50
  that
• 25:50
  always
• 25:50
  be
• 25:50
  in
• 25:51
  both
• 25:51
  formats,
• 25:51
  because
• 25:51
  I
• 25:52
  think
• 25:52
  that's

  kdp.
• 26:50
  And
• 26:50
  then
• 26:50
  that
• 26:51
  allows

  us

  to

  other
• 27:00
  beautiful

  Author
• 27:07
  copies.
• 27:08
  Yep.
• 27:09
  I
• 27:09
  think
• 27:09
  you're
• 27:10
  maxed
• 27:10
  out
• 27:10
  at
• 27:11
  200
• 27:11
  copies
• 27:12
  at
• 27:12
  a
• 27:12
  time,
• 27:13
  which
• 27:13
  is
• 27:13
  a
• 27:14
  lot
• 27:14
  of
• 27:14
  inventory.
• 27:15
  Honestly.
• 27:15
  If
• 27:16
  you
• 27:16
  were
• 27:16
  to.
• 27:16
  You
• 27:17
  know
• 27:17
  what
• 27:17
  I'm
• 27:17
  saying?
• 27:17
  If
• 27:17
  you.
• 27:18
  Yeah,
• 27:18
  it's
• 27:18
  not
• 27:18
  like
• 27:19
  you're
• 27:19
  getting.
• 27:19
  I
• 27:19
  don't
• 27:19
  think
• 27:20
  you
• 27:20
  get
• 27:20
  a
• 27:21
  discount
• 27:21
  on
• 27:21
  your
• 27:22
  pricing.
• 27:22
  It's
• 27:22
  the
• 27:22
  same
• 27:23
  price.
• 27:23
  The
• 27:23
  only
• 27:24
  reason,
• 27:24
  and
• 27:25
  I
• 27:25
  want
• 27:25
  to
• 27:25
  explain
• 27:25
  this
• 27:26
  to
• 27:26
  everyone,
• 27:27
  is
• 27:28
  that
• 27:28
  as
• 27:29
  Brittany's
• 27:29
  mentioned,
• 27:31
  there's
• 27:31
  an
• 27:31
  author's
• 27:32
  price.
• 27:32
  The
• 27:33
  one
• 27:33
  thing
• 27:33
  that
• 27:34
  some
• 27:35
  children's
• 27:36
  book
• 27:36
  authors
• 27:37
  don't
• 27:37
  take
• 27:37
  into
• 27:37
  consideration.
• 27:39
  You
• 27:39
  have
• 27:40
  to
• 27:40
  pay
• 27:40
  the
• 27:40
  freight
• 27:41
  on
• 27:41
  top
• 27:41
  of
• 27:42
  that
• 27:42
  author's
• 27:42
  price.
• 27:43
  When
• 27:44
  you
• 27:44
  order
• 27:44
  through
• 27:45
  KDP,
• 27:46
  if
• 27:46
  you
• 27:46
  order
• 27:47
  10
• 27:47
  books,
• 27:48
  you
• 27:48
  pay
• 27:48
  whatever
• 27:49
  the
• 27:49
  cost
• 27:49
  of
• 27:50
  shipping
• 27:51
  is
• 27:51
  to
• 27:52
  your
• 27:53
  home
• 27:53
  or
• 27:53
  your
• 27:54
  office.
• 27:55
  And
• 27:56
  if
• 27:56
  you
• 27:56
  order
• 27:56
  25,
• 27:57
  or
• 27:58
  as
• 27:58
  Brittany
• 27:58
  talked
• 27:59
  about,
• 27:59
  if
• 27:59
  you
• 27:59
  order
• 28:00
  200,
• 28:00
  you
• 28:01
  on
• 28:01
  a
• 28:01
  per
• 28:02
  unit
• 28:02
  basis,
• 28:03
  you
• 28:03
  get
• 28:04
  a
• 28:04
  little
• 28:04
  bit
• 28:04
  of
• 28:04
  a
• 28:05
  discount
• 28:05
  on
• 28:05
  the
• 28:06
  freight
• 28:06
  cost.
• 28:07
  I
• 28:08
  would
• 28:08
  say
• 28:08
  that
• 28:08
  would
• 28:08
  be
• 28:09
  your
• 28:09
  one
• 28:09
  per.
• 28:10
  But
• 28:11
  you
• 28:11
  also
• 28:11
  are
• 28:11
  Paying
• 28:12
  per
• 28:12
  weight,
• 28:12
  and
• 28:13
  your
• 28:13
  weight
• 28:13
  is
• 28:13
  going
• 28:13
  up.
• 28:14
  So
• 28:14
  on
• 28:14
  a
• 28:15
  per
• 28:15
  unit
• 28:15
  basis,
• 28:16
  all
• 28:16
  we're
• 28:17
  trying
• 28:17
  to
• 28:17
  demonstrate
• 28:18
  is
• 28:18
  there's
• 28:18
  probably
• 28:19
  not
• 28:19
  much
• 28:20
  in
• 28:20
  it
• 28:20
  for
• 28:21
  you
• 28:21
  in
• 28:22
  terms
• 28:22
  of
• 28:23
  a
• 28:23
  unit
• 28:23
  cost.
• 28:24
  By
• 28:24
  ordering
• 28:25
  10
• 28:25
  or
• 28:26
  ordering
• 28:26
  50,
• 28:27
  there
• 28:27
  might
• 28:27
  be
• 28:28
  a
• 28:28
  few
• 28:28
  pennies.
• 28:29
  But
• 28:29
  at
• 28:29
  the
• 28:29
  end
• 28:29
  of
• 28:30
  the
• 28:30
  day,
• 28:30
  to
• 28:30
  Brittany's
• 28:31
  point,
• 28:31
  tying
• 28:32
  up
• 28:32
  all
• 28:32
  your
• 28:32
  space
• 28:33
  and
• 28:34
  carrying
• 28:34
  200
• 28:35
  books
• 28:35
  may
• 28:36
  not
• 28:36
  make
• 28:36
  any
• 28:36
  sense
• 28:37
  unless
• 28:37
  you
• 28:37
  have
• 28:38
  a
• 28:38
  specific
• 28:38
  plan
• 28:39
  to
• 28:39
  able
• 28:39
  to
• 28:40
  sell
• 28:40
  those
• 28:40
  books
• 28:41
  in
• 28:41
  a
• 28:41
  timely
• 28:41
  manner.
• 28:43
  Yeah.
• 28:43
  Otherwise
• 28:44
  you
• 28:44
  become
• 28:44
  your
• 28:44
  warehouse,
• 28:45
  essentially,
• 28:46
  and.
• 28:46
  You
• 28:46
  have
• 28:46
  your
• 28:46
  money
• 28:46
  tied
• 28:47
  up.
• 28:48
  You
• 28:48
  do.
• 28:49
  Thank
• 28:49
  you
• 28:50
  for
• 28:50
  sharing
• 28:50
  that.
• 28:51
  I've
• 28:51
  asked
• 28:51
  this
• 28:52
  question
• 28:52
  before.
• 28:54
  I
• 28:54
  find
• 28:55
  that
• 28:55
  people
• 28:55
  who
• 28:56
  are
• 28:56
  very
• 28:56
  artistic,
• 28:57
  like
• 28:57
  yourself,
• 28:59
  and
• 28:59
  I've
• 29:00
  had
• 29:00
  about
• 29:00
  three
• 29:00
  or
• 29:01
  four
• 29:01
  authors
• 29:01
  now
• 29:02
  who
• 29:02
  are
• 29:02
  also
• 29:03
  the
• 29:03
  illustrator.
• 29:04
  And
• 29:05
  what
• 29:05
  I
• 29:05
  find
• 29:06
  is
• 29:07
  that
• 29:08
  you
• 29:08
  don't
• 29:09
  give
• 29:09
  yourself
• 29:09
  any
• 29:09
  credit
• 29:12
  as
• 29:12
  an
• 29:12
  illustrator.
• 29:13
  And
• 29:14
  it's
• 29:14
  such
• 29:14
  a
• 29:15
  unique
• 29:15
  ability.
• 29:16
  And
• 29:17
  so
• 29:17
  I.
• 29:17
  I
• 29:17
  guess
• 29:18
  I've
• 29:18
  tried
• 29:18
  a
• 29:19
  little
• 29:19
  preaching
• 29:19
  here
• 29:19
  is
• 29:20
  that
• 29:20
  I
• 29:20
  really
• 29:21
  think
• 29:21
  as
• 29:22
  a
• 29:23
  children's
• 29:23
  book
• 29:24
  author
• 29:25
  and
• 29:25
  illustrator,
• 29:26
  that
• 29:27
  you
• 29:27
  should
• 29:27
  give
• 29:27
  yourself
• 29:28
  more
• 29:29
  credit.
• 29:29
  And
• 29:29
  I
• 29:30
  know
• 29:30
  it
• 29:30
  says
• 29:31
  your
• 29:31
  name
• 29:32
  on
• 29:32
  the
• 29:32
  front
• 29:32
  of
• 29:32
  the
• 29:33
  book,
• 29:33
  I
• 29:33
  think.
• 29:33
  I
• 29:34
  believe
• 29:34
  it
• 29:34
  says
• 29:34
  created
• 29:35
  by.
• 29:36
  It
• 29:36
  does,
• 29:37
  which
• 29:37
  is
• 29:37
  nice.
• 29:38
  But
• 29:38
  I
• 29:38
  really
• 29:39
  think
• 29:39
  that
• 29:40
  you
• 29:40
  should
• 29:40
  give
• 29:40
  yourself
• 29:41
  more
• 29:41
  flowers.
• 29:42
  If
• 29:42
  I
• 29:42
  can
• 29:42
  encourage
• 29:43
  you
• 29:43
  at
• 29:43
  all,
• 29:44
  I
• 29:44
  would
• 29:45
  really
• 29:45
  encourage
• 29:46
  you
• 29:46
  to
• 29:48
  take
• 29:48
  a
• 29:48
  little
• 29:48
  more
• 29:48
  credit
• 29:49
  for
• 29:49
  the
• 29:49
  beautiful
• 29:50
  job
• 29:50
  that
• 29:50
  you're
• 29:51
  doing.
• 29:51
  Because
• 29:52
  I
• 29:52
  know
• 29:53
  in
• 29:53
  my
• 29:53
  mind
• 29:53
  I
• 29:54
  was
• 29:54
  thinking,
• 29:54
  okay,
• 29:55
  Brittany,
• 29:55
  who's
• 29:56
  your
• 29:56
  illustrator,
• 29:57
  and
• 29:57
  why
• 29:58
  don't
• 29:58
  you
• 29:58
  give
• 29:58
  them
• 29:58
  any
• 29:59
  credit?
• 29:59
  That
• 29:59
  was
• 29:59
  one
• 30:00
  of
• 30:00
  my
• 30:00
  questions.
• 30:01
  Guess
• 30:01
  what?
• 30:02
  We
• 30:02
  know
• 30:03
  who
• 30:03
  the
• 30:03
  illustrator
• 30:04
  is.
• 30:04
  And.
• 30:05
  But
• 30:05
  I
• 30:06
  don't
• 30:06
  understand
• 30:06
  why
• 30:06
  you're
• 30:07
  not
• 30:07
  giving
• 30:07
  yourself
• 30:08
  any
• 30:08
  credit.
• 30:09
  So
• 30:10
  to
• 30:10
  me,
• 30:11
  I
• 30:11
  was
• 30:11
  trying
• 30:12
  to
• 30:12
  find
• 30:12
  the
• 30:12
  way,
• 30:13
  the
• 30:13
  right
• 30:13
  way
• 30:14
  to
• 30:14
  do
• 30:14
  this
• 30:15
  and
• 30:15
  to
• 30:15
  go
• 30:15
  about
• 30:15
  it
• 30:16
  and
• 30:16
  not
• 30:16
  to
• 30:16
  be
• 30:16
  like,
• 30:17
  written
• 30:17
  by,
• 30:17
  illustrated
• 30:18
  by,
• 30:18
  and
• 30:19
  to
• 30:19
  have
• 30:19
  that
• 30:19
  redundancy.
• 30:21
  So
• 30:22
  that's
• 30:22
  why
• 30:22
  I
• 30:22
  settled
• 30:23
  on
• 30:23
  Created
• 30:24
  by.
• 30:25
  On
• 30:25
  the
• 30:25
  front
• 30:26
  of
• 30:26
  our
• 30:26
  books.
• 30:26
  We
• 30:26
  just
• 30:27
  put
• 30:27
  by.
• 30:29
  So
• 30:29
  if
• 30:29
  you
• 30:29
  look
• 30:29
  at
• 30:29
  the
• 30:29
  front
• 30:30
  of
• 30:30
  our
• 30:30
  book,
• 30:30
  it
• 30:30
  says,
• 30:31
  by
• 30:31
  Papa
• 30:32
  Rick
• 30:32
  Harris
• 30:33
  and
• 30:34
  Kira
• 30:34
  Dumoulin.
• 30:35
  That's
• 30:36
  my
• 30:36
  granddaughter.
• 30:37
  Our
• 30:38
  second
• 30:38
  book,
• 30:38
  actually.
• 30:39
  You'll
• 30:40
  see
• 30:40
  again,
• 30:41
  it
• 30:41
  says,
• 30:42
  by
• 30:43
  Papa
• 30:43
  Rick
• 30:43
  Harris,
• 30:44
  Kira
• 30:44
  Dumoulin,
• 30:45
  and
• 30:46
  my
• 30:46
  middle
• 30:46
  granddaughter,
• 30:47
  Bailey
• 30:47
  Harris.
• 30:48
  I
• 30:49
  love
• 30:49
  it.
• 30:50
  If
• 30:50
  you
• 30:50
  don't
• 30:50
  want
• 30:50
  to
• 30:50
  put
• 30:50
  written,
• 30:51
  I
• 30:51
  think
• 30:51
  the
• 30:52
  word
• 30:52
  by
• 30:53
  now,
• 30:53
  if
• 30:53
  you
• 30:54
  open
• 30:54
  the
• 30:54
  inside
• 30:55
  of
• 30:55
  the
• 30:55
  book,
• 30:55
  we
• 30:55
  do
• 30:56
  have
• 30:57
  the
• 30:57
  name
• 30:57
  of
• 30:57
  our
• 30:57
  illustrator,
• 30:58
  and
• 30:59
  we
• 30:59
  do
• 30:59
  have
• 30:59
  the
• 30:59
  name
• 31:00
  of
• 31:00
  our
• 31:00
  editor.
• 31:01
  I
• 31:01
  just
• 31:02
  think
• 31:02
  that
• 31:02
  even
• 31:02
  if
• 31:03
  you
• 31:03
  don't
• 31:03
  want
• 31:03
  to
• 31:03
  give
• 31:03
  yourself
• 31:04
  the
• 31:04
  credit
• 31:04
  on
• 31:04
  the
• 31:05
  outside
• 31:05
  of
• 31:05
  the
• 31:05
  book,
• 31:06
  I
• 31:06
  think
• 31:06
  you
• 31:07
  should
• 31:07
  give
• 31:07
  yourself
• 31:07
  the
• 31:07
  credit
• 31:08
  on
• 31:08
  the
• 31:08
  inside
• 31:09
  of
• 31:09
  the
• 31:09
  book.
• 31:09
  Because
• 31:10
  maybe.
• 31:11
  And
• 31:11
  I'm
• 31:12
  just.
• 31:12
  I'm
• 31:12
  not
• 31:12
  sure.
• 31:13
  And
• 31:14
  I
• 31:14
  certainly
• 31:14
  don't
• 31:14
  want
• 31:14
  to
• 31:14
  put
• 31:15
  words
• 31:15
  in
• 31:15
  your
• 31:15
  mouth,
• 31:16
  but
• 31:16
  having
• 31:16
  the
• 31:17
  talent
• 31:17
  to
• 31:17
  be
• 31:17
  an
• 31:17
  illustrator,
• 31:18
  we
• 31:18
  thought
• 31:19
  of
• 31:19
  taking
• 31:20
  on
• 31:20
  more
• 31:20
  illustration
• 31:21
  work.
• 31:23
  I
• 31:23
  have
• 31:23
  not.
• 31:24
  I
• 31:24
  enjoy
• 31:24
  doing
• 31:25
  it
• 31:25
  for
• 31:25
  myself,
• 31:25
  to
• 31:26
  be
• 31:26
  honest.
• 31:26
  And
• 31:26
  I
• 31:27
  do
• 31:27
  it
• 31:27
  when
• 31:27
  needed
• 31:28
  for
• 31:28
  my
• 31:28
  day
• 31:28
  job.
• 31:29
  So
• 31:30
  I'm
• 31:30
  a
• 31:30
  designer
• 31:31
  and
• 31:31
  whatever
• 31:32
  that
• 31:32
  entails
• 31:33
  that
• 31:33
  they
• 31:34
  need
• 31:34
  designed
• 31:35
  for
• 31:35
  my
• 31:35
  clients.
• 31:36
  I
• 31:36
  use
• 31:36
  it
• 31:37
  in
• 31:37
  that
• 31:37
  instance
• 31:38
  that
• 31:38
  I
• 31:38
  enjoy
• 31:39
  doing
• 31:39
  for
• 31:40
  myself.
• 31:42
  And
• 31:42
  you
• 31:42
  don't
• 31:42
  think
• 31:43
  of
• 31:43
  it
• 31:43
  as
• 31:43
  something
• 31:43
  that
• 31:44
  you
• 31:44
  would
• 31:44
  do
• 31:44
  for
• 31:44
  others.
• 31:46
  Unless
• 31:46
  it's
• 31:47
  in
• 31:47
  that
• 31:47
  commercial
• 31:47
  setting.
• 31:48
  And
• 31:48
  it
• 31:48
  looks
• 31:49
  completely
• 31:49
  different
• 31:49
  than
• 31:50
  what
• 31:50
  I'm
• 31:50
  doing
• 31:50
  for
• 31:50
  my
• 31:50
  books.
• 31:51
  It's
• 31:51
  lined
• 31:51
  up
• 31:52
  things
• 31:52
  and
• 31:53
  diagrams
• 31:54
  and
• 31:54
  things
• 31:54
  like
• 31:54
  that.
• 31:55
  Okay.
• 31:55
  I
• 31:56
  know.
• 31:56
  I.
• 31:56
  I
• 31:56
  just,
• 31:56
  just
• 31:57
  so
• 31:57
  the
• 31:57
  audience
• 31:58
  gets
• 31:58
  a
• 31:58
  feel.
• 31:59
  Because
• 31:59
  if
• 31:59
  they
• 31:59
  purchase
• 32:00
  your
• 32:00
  books
• 32:00
  and
• 32:00
  they
• 32:01
  see
• 32:01
  how
• 32:02
  beautiful
• 32:02
  a
• 32:03
  job
• 32:03
  your
• 32:03
  illustrations
• 32:04
  are,
• 32:04
  they
• 32:05
  might
• 32:05
  be
• 32:05
  wondering
• 32:05
  who's
• 32:06
  the
• 32:06
  illustrator?
• 32:06
  And
• 32:07
  wow,
• 32:08
  terrific
• 32:08
  skill
• 32:09
  and
• 32:10
  awesome.
• 32:10
  You
• 32:11
  also
• 32:11
  did
• 32:11
  the
• 32:12
  book
• 32:12
  cover
• 32:13
  design.
• 32:13
  You
• 32:13
  did.
• 32:13
  I
• 32:14
  did
• 32:14
  everything.
• 32:15
  Yep.
• 32:15
  I'm
• 32:16
  my
• 32:16
  own
• 32:16
  editor,
• 32:17
  publisher,
• 32:17
  writer,
• 32:18
  illustrator,
• 32:19
  all
• 32:19
  of
• 32:20
  it.
• 32:20
  I
• 32:20
  am
• 32:20
  and
• 32:21
  marketer.
• 32:22
  I
• 32:22
  am
• 32:22
  controlling
• 32:22
  the
• 32:23
  whole
• 32:23
  process.
• 32:24
  You're
• 32:24
  the
• 32:24
  Jill
• 32:25
  of
• 32:25
  all
• 32:25
  trades
• 32:26
  in
• 32:27
  this
• 32:27
  instance.
• 32:28
  Be.
• 32:28
  It's
• 32:28
  the
• 32:28
  clinical
• 32:29
  God.
• 32:30
  I'm
• 32:31
  learning
• 32:31
  along
• 32:31
  the
• 32:32
  way.
• 32:32
  Congratulations.
• 32:33
  And
• 32:33
  I
• 32:34
  know
• 32:34
  you
• 32:34
  talked
• 32:34
  about
• 32:34
  your

  website,
• 32:36
  truehearttails.com
• 32:39
  Tell
• 32:39
  us
• 32:39
  a
• 32:39
  little
• 32:40
  bit
• 32:40
  about
• 32:40
  your
• 32:40
  website
• 32:41
  development
• 32:41
  because
• 32:42
  did
• 32:42
  you
• 32:42
  do
• 32:43
  your
• 32:43
  website
• 32:43
  also?
• 32:45
  I
• 32:45
  did.
• 32:47
  That
• 32:47
  was
• 32:47
  another
• 32:47
  learning
• 32:48
  process.
• 32:49
  I
• 32:49
  have
• 32:49
  a
• 32:49
  website
• 32:49
  for
• 32:50
  my
• 32:50
  design
• 32:50
  work.
• 32:50
  Obviously.
• 32:51
  My
• 32:51
  name
• 32:51
  is
• 32:51
  Brittany
• 32:51
  Pettish
• 32:52
  and
• 32:52
  it's
• 32:52
  Brittany
• 32:52
  Pettish.com
• 32:53
  and
• 32:54
  I
• 32:54
  designed
• 32:54
  all
• 32:54
  of
• 32:54
  that.
• 32:55
  But
• 32:55
  to
• 32:55
  have
• 32:55
  a
• 32:55
  storefront
• 32:56
  is
• 32:56
  a
• 32:56
  different
• 32:56
  way
• 32:57
  of
• 32:57
  designing
• 32:58
  and
• 32:58
  to
• 32:59
  make
• 32:59
  it
• 32:59
  a
• 32:59
  shopping
• 33:00
  cart
• 33:00
  and
• 33:00
  to
• 33:00
  be
• 33:00
  able
• 33:01
  to
• 33:01
  check
• 33:01
  out
• 33:01
  and
• 33:01
  all
• 33:02
  of
• 33:02
  that.
• 33:02
  So
• 33:03
  again,
• 33:03
  that
• 33:03
  was
• 33:04
  a
• 33:04
  learning
• 33:04
  process.
• 33:04
  I've
• 33:05
  taught
• 33:05
  myself
• 33:06
  a
• 33:06
  lot
• 33:06
  in
• 33:06
  doing
• 33:07
  this
• 33:07
  on
• 33:08
  how
• 33:08
  to
• 33:08
  do
• 33:08
  a
• 33:09
  lot
• 33:09
  of
• 33:09
  different
• 33:09
  things.
• 33:10
  Be
• 33:10
  that
• 33:10
  creating
• 33:11
  an
• 33:11
  ebook
• 33:11
  format,
• 33:12
  be
• 33:12
  that
• 33:12
  creating
• 33:13
  a
• 33:13
  shopping
• 33:13
  cart
• 33:14
  web
• 33:14
  and
• 33:15
  things
• 33:15
  like
• 33:15
  that.
• 33:16
  What
• 33:16
  is
• 33:16
  nice
• 33:16
  is
• 33:17
  the
• 33:17
  website
• 33:17
  that
• 33:18
  I
• 33:18
  created
• 33:18
  I
• 33:18
  did
• 33:18
  through
• 33:19
  Square.
• 33:20
  And
• 33:20
  so
• 33:20
  I
• 33:21
  was
• 33:21
  able
• 33:21
  to.
• 33:22
  That
• 33:22
  was
• 33:22
  another
• 33:23
  thing
• 33:23
  that
• 33:24
  Seth
• 33:24
  taught
• 33:24
  me
• 33:25
  at
• 33:25
  that
• 33:25
  book
• 33:26
  conference
• 33:26
  that
• 33:26
  I
• 33:26
  was
• 33:26
  at
• 33:27
  when
• 33:27
  I
• 33:27
  was
• 33:27
  sitting
• 33:28
  next
• 33:28
  to
• 33:28
  him
• 33:28
  was
• 33:29
  how
• 33:29
  he
• 33:29
  keeps
• 33:29
  track
• 33:29
  of
• 33:30
  his
• 33:30
  inventory
• 33:30
  for
• 33:31
  tax
• 33:31
  purposes.
• 33:31
  And
• 33:32
  what
• 33:32
  he
• 33:32
  sells
• 33:33
  is
• 33:33
  he
• 33:33
  puts
• 33:34
  in,
• 33:34
  whether
• 33:34
  it's
• 33:34
  cash
• 33:35
  or
• 33:35
  a
• 33:35
  card,
• 33:35
  he
• 33:36
  takes
• 33:36
  payments
• 33:36
  through
• 33:36
  Square.
• 33:37
  And
• 33:37
  he
• 33:37
  has
• 33:37
  each
• 33:38
  one
• 33:38
  of
• 33:38
  his
• 33:38
  books
• 33:38
  inventoried
• 33:39
  that
• 33:39
  way.
• 33:40
  And
• 33:40
  what
• 33:40
  I
• 33:41
  learned
• 33:41
  is
• 33:41
  if
• 33:41
  you
• 33:41
  have
• 33:41
  a
• 33:42
  square
• 33:43
  itemized
• 33:44
  like
• 33:44
  product
• 33:45
  list,
• 33:45
  you
• 33:46
  can
• 33:46
  easily
• 33:46
  turn
• 33:47
  that
• 33:47
  into
• 33:47
  a
• 33:47
  website
• 33:48
  and
• 33:48
  then
• 33:48
  design
• 33:48
  around
• 33:49
  it.
• 33:49
  I'm
• 33:50
  Paying
• 33:50
  for
• 33:50
  the
• 33:51
  hosting
• 33:51
  and
• 33:51
  for
• 33:52
  all
• 33:52
  of
• 33:52
  that
• 33:52
  through
• 33:53
  Square.
• 33:53
  They
• 33:54
  finished
• 33:54
  the
• 33:54
  shopping
• 33:55
  cart
• 33:55
  format
• 33:56
  of
• 33:56
  all
• 33:56
  of
• 33:56
  that.
• 33:57
  But
• 33:57
  then
• 33:57
  I
• 33:58
  added
• 33:58
  all
• 33:58
  the
• 33:58
  enhancements
• 33:59
  and
• 33:59
  the
• 33:59
  design
• 33:59
  abilities
• 34:00
  with
• 34:01
  my
• 34:01
  marketing
• 34:02
  background
• 34:02
  and
• 34:03
  my
• 34:03
  ability
• 34:03
  to
• 34:03
  design
• 34:04
  versus
• 34:04
  having
• 34:04
  to
• 34:05
  design
• 34:05
  and
• 34:05
  build
• 34:05
  something
• 34:06
  from
• 34:06
  the
• 34:06
  ground
• 34:06
  up
• 34:06
  from
• 34:06
  scratch.
• 34:07
  Okay.
• 34:07
  So
• 34:08
  I'm
• 34:08
  a
• 34:08
  little
• 34:08
  bit
• 34:08
  limited
• 34:08
  in
• 34:09
  what
• 34:09
  I
• 34:09
  can
• 34:09
  do
• 34:09
  design
• 34:10
  wise
• 34:10
  or
• 34:10
  where
• 34:10
  I
• 34:10
  can
• 34:11
  put
• 34:11
  a
• 34:11
  button
• 34:11
  or
• 34:12
  something
• 34:12
  like
• 34:12
  that,
• 34:13
  but
• 34:13
  not
• 34:13
  in
• 34:14
  a
• 34:14
  point
• 34:14
  that
• 34:14
  I
• 34:14
  feel
• 34:14
  like
• 34:14
  compromises
• 34:15
  it
• 34:15
  at
• 34:15
  all
• 34:16
  too
• 34:16
  much.

  that

  book

• 34:32
  So
• 34:33
  one
• 34:33
  of
• 34:33
  the
• 34:33
  perks
• 34:34
  of
• 34:34

• 34:34
  it
• 34:34
  directly
• 34:35
  through

  is
• 34:35
  I

  can
• 34:36
  sign
• 34:36
  it,
• 34:36
  I

  make
• 34:36
  it
• 34:37
  out
• 34:37
  to
• 34:37
  somebody,
• 34:37
  I

  can
• 34:38
  reach
• 34:38
  out
• 34:38
  to

  you

  I

• 34:39
  it
• 34:40
  for
• 34:40
  you
• 34:40
  directly.
• 34:41
  I
• 34:41
  had
• 34:41
  noticed
• 34:42
  that
• 34:42
  you
• 34:42
  don't
• 34:43
  have
• 34:43
  all
• 34:43
  the
• 34:44
  ebook
• 34:44
  format
• 34:45
  is
• 34:46
  not
• 34:46
  with
• 34:47
  all
• 34:47
  your
• 34:47
  titles
• 34:48
  on
• 34:48
  your
• 34:48
  website.
• 34:50
  Correct.
• 34:50
  So
• 34:51
  the
• 34:51
  ebooks
• 34:51
  you
• 34:52
  can
• 34:52
  only
• 34:52
  purchase
• 34:52
  through
• 34:53
  Amazon
• 34:53
  because
• 34:54
  they
• 34:54
  go
• 34:54
  through
• 34:54
  that
• 34:55
  reader
• 34:55
  with
• 34:56
  Square
• 34:57
  and
• 34:57
  the
• 34:57
  limitations
• 34:58
  it's
• 34:59
  just
• 34:59
  for
• 34:59
  anything
• 35:00
  physical
• 35:00
  and
• 35:00
  tangible.
• 35:01
  So
• 35:01
  you
• 35:01
  can
• 35:01
  buy
• 35:02
  the
• 35:02
  hardback
• 35:02
  book,
• 35:03
  the
• 35:03
  compilation.
• 35:03
  You
• 35:03
  can
• 35:04
  buy
• 35:04
  each
• 35:04
  one
• 35:04
  of
• 35:04
  my
• 35:05
  independent
• 35:05
  books.
• 35:06
  I
• 35:06
  noticed
• 35:07
  on
• 35:07
  your
• 35:07
  website
• 35:08
  you
• 35:08
  mention
• 35:09
  stuffed
• 35:10
  animals
• 35:10
  on
• 35:11
  your
• 35:11
  website
• 35:12
  and
• 35:12
  you
• 35:12
  say
• 35:13
  but
• 35:13
  no
• 35:14
  visuals
• 35:14
  or
• 35:14
  pricing.
• 35:16
  So
• 35:16
  I'm
• 35:16
  curious
• 35:17
  about
• 35:18
  is
• 35:18
  this
• 35:19
  a
• 35:19
  dream
• 35:19
  that
• 35:20
  you're
• 35:20
  going
• 35:20
  to
• 35:20
  develop
• 35:21
  plushies.
• 35:22
  I
• 35:23
  have
• 35:23
  picked
• 35:23
  out.
• 35:23
  When
• 35:24
  you
• 35:24
  come
• 35:24
  to
• 35:25
  the
• 35:25
  events
• 35:25
  and
• 35:26
  see
• 35:26
  me
• 35:26
  in
• 35:26
  person,
• 35:27
  there
• 35:27
  is
• 35:27
  a
• 35:28
  stuffed
• 35:28
  animal
• 35:28
  that
• 35:28
  I
• 35:28
  have
• 35:29
  found
• 35:29
  and
• 35:29
  researched
• 35:30
  that
• 35:30
  looks
• 35:30
  like
• 35:30
  each
• 35:31
  one
• 35:31
  of
• 35:31
  my
• 35:31
  characters
• 35:31
  in
• 35:32
  the
• 35:32
  book
• 35:32
  that
• 35:32
  looks
• 35:33
  like
• 35:33
  the
• 35:33
  animal
• 35:33
  in
• 35:34
  real
• 35:34
  life.
• 35:34
  And
• 35:35
  I
• 35:35
  have
• 35:35
  was
• 35:35
  with
• 35:36
  me
• 35:37
  and
• 35:37
  I
• 35:37
  have
• 35:37
  photographs
• 35:38
  of
• 35:38
  all
• 35:38
  of
• 35:38
  them.
• 35:38
  And
• 35:39
  at
• 35:39
  one
• 35:39
  point
• 35:39
  they
• 35:39
  were
• 35:40
  all
• 35:40
  on
• 35:40
  the
• 35:40
  website
• 35:40
  but
• 35:41
  they
• 35:41
  were
• 35:41
  confusing
• 35:42
  people.
• 35:42
  And
• 35:43
  so
• 35:43
  if
• 35:43
  anybody
• 35:43
  comes
• 35:44
  with
• 35:44
  me,
• 35:44
  I
• 35:45
  don't
• 35:45
  actually
• 35:45
  sell
• 35:45
  the
• 35:46
  stuff
• 35:46
  to
• 35:46
  animals,
• 35:46
  but
• 35:46
  can
• 35:46
  provide
• 35:47
  you
• 35:47
  a
• 35:47
  list
• 35:47
  of
• 35:48
  the
• 35:48
  animals
• 35:48
  that
• 35:49
  correlate
• 35:50
  just
• 35:50
  because
• 35:50
  there's
• 35:51
  no
• 35:51
  way
• 35:52
  to
• 35:53
  inventory
• 35:53
  that
• 35:54
  on
• 35:54
  top
• 35:54
  of
• 35:54
  the
• 35:54
  books
• 35:55
  and
• 35:55
  to
• 35:55
  be
• 35:55
  able
• 35:55
  to
• 35:55
  sell
• 35:56
  them.
• 35:56
  But
• 35:56
  being
• 35:56
  a
• 35:56
  children's
• 35:57
  book
• 35:57
  author,
• 35:57
  I
• 35:58
  have
• 35:58
  those
• 35:58
  stuffed
• 35:58
  animals
• 35:59
  on
• 35:59
  my
• 35:59
  table
• 36:00
  with
• 36:00
  each
• 36:00
  one
• 36:00
  of
• 36:00
  the
• 36:01
  books
• 36:01
  and
• 36:02
  I
• 36:02
  feel
• 36:02
  like
• 36:02
  gets
• 36:02
  the
• 36:03
  kids
• 36:03
  to
• 36:03
  come
• 36:03
  to
• 36:04
  you.
• 36:04
  Yes.
• 36:05
  Terrific.
• 36:06
  Brittany,
• 36:07
  I'm
• 36:07
  glad
• 36:07
  you
• 36:07
  brought
• 36:08
  this
• 36:08
  up
• 36:08
  because
• 36:08
  I
• 36:08
  want
• 36:09
  aspiring
• 36:10
  children's
• 36:10
  book
• 36:10
  authors
• 36:11
  especially
• 36:11
  to
• 36:12
  understand
• 36:13
  you
• 36:13
  can
• 36:13
  probably
• 36:14
  see
• 36:14
  in
• 36:14
  the
• 36:14
  background
• 36:15
  now
• 36:15
  anyone
• 36:16
  listening
• 36:16
  can't
• 36:17
  see
• 36:17
  it,
• 36:17
  but
• 36:17
  I
• 36:17
  have
• 36:18
  Two
• 36:19
  plushies
• 36:19
  in
• 36:19
  the
• 36:19
  background.
• 36:20
  I
• 36:21
  have
• 36:21
  a
• 36:21
  larger
• 36:22
  caboose.
• 36:23
  So,
• 36:23
  Brittany,
• 36:23
  you
• 36:23
  can
• 36:24
  probably
• 36:24
  see
• 36:24
  it
• 36:24
  on
• 36:25
  my
• 36:26
  right
• 36:26
  hand
• 36:26
  side,
• 36:27
  and
• 36:27
  on
• 36:27
  my
• 36:27
  left
• 36:27
  hand
• 36:28
  side,
• 36:28
  we
• 36:28
  actually
• 36:29
  developed
• 36:30
  our
• 36:30
  character.
• 36:32
  So
• 36:32
  this
• 36:32
  is
• 36:32
  caboose.
• 36:34
  And
• 36:36
  the
• 36:36
  only
• 36:36
  thing
• 36:36
  that
• 36:37
  we
• 36:37
  did,
• 36:37
  and
• 36:38
  it
• 36:38
  was
• 36:38
  quite
• 36:38
  interesting,
• 36:39
  and
• 36:39
  I
• 36:39
  tell
• 36:40
  the
• 36:40
  story
• 36:40
  all
• 36:40
  the
• 36:40
  time
• 36:41
  because
• 36:41
  one
• 36:42
  of
• 36:42
  our
• 36:42
  guests
• 36:42
  came
• 36:43
  on
• 36:43
  the
• 36:43
  show,
• 36:44
  and
• 36:44
  her
• 36:45
  name
• 36:45
  is
• 36:45
  Charlotte
• 36:46
  Glaze,
• 36:47
  episode
• 36:47
  23,
• 36:48
  and
• 36:48
  she's
• 36:49
  from
• 36:49
  Oklahoma,
• 36:50
  but
• 36:50
  she
• 36:51
  actually
• 36:51
  printed
• 36:52
  her
• 36:52
  hardcover
• 36:52
  books
• 36:54
  off
• 36:54
  a
• 36:54
  website
• 36:54
  called
• 36:55
  Made
• 36:55
  in
• 36:55
  China.
• 36:56
  So
• 36:56
  then
• 36:56
  she
• 36:57
  said,
• 36:57
  they
• 36:58
  can
• 36:58
  make
• 36:58
  anything
• 36:58
  for
• 36:59
  you.
• 36:59
  And
• 36:59
  I
• 36:59
  thought,
• 36:59
  oh,
• 37:00
  wow.
• 37:01
  And
• 37:01
  a
• 37:01
  lot
• 37:01
  of
• 37:01
  the
• 37:02
  retail
• 37:02
  stores
• 37:02
  that
• 37:02
  we've
• 37:03
  been
• 37:03
  dealing
• 37:04
  with,
• 37:04
  bookstores,
• 37:05
  said,
• 37:05
  you
• 37:05
  should
• 37:05
  have
• 37:06
  a
• 37:06
  plushie
• 37:06
  with
• 37:06
  your
• 37:07
  book.
• 37:07
  Because
• 37:07
  we
• 37:07
  do
• 37:08
  very
• 37:08
  well
• 37:08
  when
• 37:08
  we
• 37:08
  have
• 37:09
  a
• 37:09
  supporting
• 37:10
  product
• 37:10
  to
• 37:11
  go
• 37:11
  with
• 37:11
  the
• 37:11
  book.
• 37:11
  And
• 37:11
  I
• 37:11
  thought,
• 37:12
  oh,
• 37:12
  that's
• 37:12
  pretty
• 37:13
  neat.
• 37:13
  We
• 37:13
  developed
• 37:14
  a
• 37:15
  plushie,
• 37:15
  we
• 37:16
  had
• 37:17
  it
• 37:17
  shipped
• 37:17
  over
• 37:17
  to
• 37:18
  us,
• 37:18
  and
• 37:18
  we
• 37:18
  had
• 37:19
  to
• 37:19
  buy
• 37:19
  400
• 37:20
  units.
• 37:21
  But
• 37:21
  we
• 37:21
  did
• 37:21
  that,
• 37:22
  and
• 37:22
  now
• 37:23
  I
• 37:23
  got
• 37:23
  a
• 37:23
  garage
• 37:23
  full
• 37:23
  of
• 37:24
  plushies.
• 37:25
  The
• 37:25
  one
• 37:25
  thing
• 37:25
  that
• 37:26
  I
• 37:26
  didn't
• 37:26
  realize,
• 37:26
  and
• 37:27
  this
• 37:27
  is
• 37:27
  why
• 37:28
  I'm
• 37:28
  glad
• 37:29
  you
• 37:29
  brought
• 37:29
  it
• 37:29
  up,
• 37:30
  Brittany,
• 37:30
  is
• 37:31
  that
• 37:32
  the
• 37:32
  cost
• 37:33
  of
• 37:34
  freight
• 37:35
  to
• 37:35
  get
• 37:35
  them
• 37:35
  here,
• 37:36
  you
• 37:36
  have
• 37:36
  to
• 37:36
  work
• 37:37
  into
• 37:37
  your
• 37:37
  price.
• 37:38
  Even
• 37:38
  though
• 37:38
  we
• 37:38
  got
• 37:38
  a
• 37:39
  very
• 37:39
  good
• 37:39
  price,
• 37:39
  you
• 37:40
  have
• 37:40
  to
• 37:40
  work
• 37:40
  the
• 37:41
  total
• 37:41
  cost
• 37:41
  to
• 37:41
  your
• 37:42
  freight.
• 37:42
  The
• 37:42
  other
• 37:43
  thing
• 37:43
  that
• 37:43
  I
• 37:44
  didn't
• 37:44
  think
• 37:44
  about
• 37:45
  until
• 37:46
  we
• 37:46
  actually
• 37:46
  had
• 37:47
  the
• 37:47
  400
• 37:48
  units
• 37:48
  in
• 37:48
  our
• 37:48
  garage
• 37:50
  is
• 37:51
  that
• 37:51
  because
• 37:51
  of
• 37:52
  the
• 37:52
  size,
• 37:52
  it
• 37:53
  has
• 37:53
  nothing
• 37:53
  to
• 37:53
  do
• 37:54
  with
• 37:54
  the
• 37:54
  weight
• 37:54
  because
• 37:55
  of
• 37:55
  the
• 37:55
  size,
• 37:56
  and
• 37:56
  it's
• 37:56
  an
• 37:57
  odd
• 37:57
  size.
• 37:58
  When
• 37:58
  you
• 37:58
  put
• 37:58
  a
• 37:58
  plushie
• 37:59
  into
• 37:59
  a
• 38:00
  mailing
• 38:00
  bag,
• 38:01
  the
• 38:02
  cost
• 38:03
  is
• 38:03
  based
• 38:03
  on
• 38:04
  the
• 38:04
  size,
• 38:05
  and
• 38:06
  the
• 38:06
  shipping
• 38:07
  costs
• 38:07
  tend
• 38:07
  to
• 38:07
  be
• 38:08
  prohibitive.
• 38:09
  Media
• 38:10
  mail,
• 38:10
  if
• 38:10
  you
• 38:10
  just
• 38:11
  have
• 38:11
  books
• 38:11
  in
• 38:11
  the
• 38:11
  United
• 38:12
  States
• 38:12
  to
• 38:13
  ship,
• 38:13
  is
• 38:13
  $5
• 38:14
  flat.
• 38:14
  So
• 38:14
  whether
• 38:15
  I
• 38:15
  have
• 38:15
  one
• 38:15
  book
• 38:15
  that
• 38:16
  somebody's
• 38:16
  bought
• 38:17
  or
• 38:17
  five
• 38:18
  books
• 38:18
  that
• 38:18
  somebody's
• 38:19
  bought,
• 38:20
  it's
• 38:20
  a
• 38:20
  flat
• 38:20
  price
• 38:21
  for
• 38:21
  the
• 38:21
  mailer
• 38:22
  for
• 38:22
  media
• 38:23
  books
• 38:23
  for
• 38:23
  books
• 38:24
  only.
• 38:24
  As
• 38:24
  soon
• 38:24
  as
• 38:24
  you
• 38:25
  put
• 38:25
  a
• 38:25
  plushie
• 38:25
  in
• 38:26
  there,
• 38:26
  you're
• 38:27
  no
• 38:27
  longer
• 38:27
  media
• 38:27
  mail.
• 38:28
  And
• 38:28
  like
• 38:28
  you
• 38:28
  said,
• 38:28
  you're
• 38:29
  now
• 38:29
  paying
• 38:29
  for
• 38:29
  the
• 38:29
  cost
• 38:30
  of
• 38:30
  the
• 38:30
  package,
• 38:30
  the
• 38:30
  weight
• 38:31
  of
• 38:31
  the
• 38:31
  package,
• 38:31
  and
• 38:32
  all
• 38:32
  of
• 38:32
  that.
• 38:32
  And
• 38:32
  it
• 38:33
  does
• 38:33
  become
• 38:33
  prohibitive
• 38:34
  in
• 38:35
  that
• 38:35
  way.
• 38:35
  Yes.
• 38:36
  And
• 38:36
  that's
• 38:36
  what
• 38:37
  I'm
• 38:37
  finding.
• 38:37
  And
• 38:38
  so,
• 38:38
  luckily
• 38:39
  for
• 38:39
  us,
• 38:40
  two
• 38:40
  of
• 38:40
  our
• 38:40
  main
• 38:41
  retailers,
• 38:42
  we
• 38:42
  were
• 38:42
  able
• 38:42
  to
• 38:43
  deliver
• 38:44
  the
• 38:44
  plushies
• 38:45
  ourselves.
• 38:46
  Along
• 38:46
  with
• 38:46
  books.
• 38:47
  We
• 38:47
  were
• 38:47
  able
• 38:48
  to,
• 38:48
  I
• 38:48
  don't
• 38:49
  want
• 38:49
  to
• 38:49
  say
• 38:49
  eliminate
• 38:50
  the
• 38:50
  shipping
• 38:50
  costs.
• 38:51
  It
• 38:51
  was
• 38:51
  our
• 38:51
  gas
• 38:52
  money,
• 38:52
  and
• 38:52
  we
• 38:53
  were
• 38:53
  making
• 38:53
  the
• 38:53
  trip
• 38:54
  anyway,
• 38:54
  and
• 38:54
  that
• 38:55
  worked
• 38:55
  out
• 38:55
  well.
• 38:55
  But
• 38:56
  the
• 38:56
  moment
• 38:56
  you
• 38:57
  ship
• 38:57
  one
• 38:58
  item,
• 38:59
  I
• 38:59
  soon
• 38:59
  realized
• 39:00
  that,
• 39:01
  and
• 39:01
  that's
• 39:01
  what
• 39:02
  I
• 39:02
  want
• 39:02
  to
• 39:02
  pick
• 39:02
  up
• 39:02
  on.
• 39:03
  What
• 39:03
  Brittany
• 39:03
  said.
• 39:04
  If
• 39:04
  you
• 39:05
  had
• 39:05
  this
• 39:05
  idea
• 39:06
  for
• 39:06
  a
• 39:06
  plushie,
• 39:07
  the
• 39:07
  only
• 39:08
  way
• 39:08
  you're
• 39:08
  going
• 39:08
  to
• 39:08
  sell
• 39:09
  it
• 39:09
  and
• 39:09
  make
• 39:09
  a
• 39:09
  profit
• 39:10
  is
• 39:10
  to
• 39:10
  help
• 39:11
  support
• 39:11
  your
• 39:11
  children's
• 39:12
  book
• 39:12
  business
• 39:13
  is
• 39:13
  at
• 39:13
  these
• 39:13
  events.
• 39:15
  And
• 39:15
  what
• 39:15
  I
• 39:16
  decided
• 39:16
  to
• 39:16
  do
• 39:16
  is
• 39:17
  I
• 39:17
  use
• 39:17
  them
• 39:18
  as
• 39:18
  inspiration
• 39:19
  so
• 39:20
  they
• 39:20
  bring
• 39:20
  children
• 39:21
  over.
• 39:21
  Everybody
• 39:22
  wants
• 39:22
  to
• 39:22
  touch
• 39:22
  a
• 39:23
  stuffed
• 39:23
  animal,
• 39:23
  but
• 39:23
  I
• 39:24
  don't
• 39:24
  actually
• 39:24
  sell
• 39:25
  mine.
• 39:26
  I'll
• 39:26
  just
• 39:26
  provide
• 39:27
  a
• 39:27
  list.
• 39:27
  And
• 39:28
  that
• 39:28
  also
• 39:28
  gets
• 39:28
  me
• 39:29
  emails
• 39:29
  and
• 39:29
  contacting
• 39:30
  for
• 39:30
  my
• 39:31
  newsletter
• 39:31
  and
• 39:32
  whatnot
• 39:32
  of
• 39:33
  where
• 39:33
  you
• 39:33
  can
• 39:33
  go
• 39:34
  to
• 39:34
  buy
• 39:34
  that
• 39:34
  stuffed
• 39:35
  animal
• 39:35
  that
• 39:35
  looks
• 39:36
  just
• 39:36
  like
• 39:37
  the
• 39:37
  one
• 39:38
  that
• 39:38
  you
• 39:38
  saw
• 39:39
  that
• 39:39
  goes
• 39:39
  with
• 39:39
  the
• 39:39
  book.
• 39:40
  Oh,
• 39:40
  very
• 39:40
  generous.
• 39:41
  It's
• 39:42
  allowing
• 39:42
  me
• 39:42
  to
• 39:43
  stay
• 39:43
  in
• 39:43
  contact
• 39:44
  with
• 39:44
  that
• 39:44
  individual
• 39:45
  that
• 39:45
  bought
• 39:45
  my
• 39:45
  book
• 39:46
  and
• 39:46
  then
• 39:46
  they
• 39:47
  can
• 39:47
  go.
• 39:47
  And
• 39:48
  I'm
• 39:48
  not
• 39:48
  marking
• 39:48
  anything
• 39:49
  up.
• 39:49
  I'm
• 39:49
  not
• 39:49
  keeping
• 39:50
  inventory
• 39:50
  of
• 39:51
  how
• 39:51
  many
• 39:51
  of
• 39:51
  her
• 39:52
  stuff
• 39:52
  he's
• 39:52
  got.
• 39:52
  What
• 39:52
  a
• 39:53
  great
• 39:53
  approach.
• 39:53
  I
• 39:53
  never
• 39:54
  even
• 39:54
  thought
• 39:54
  about
• 39:55
  that
• 39:55
  for
• 39:56
  a
• 39:56
  moment,
• 39:56
  but
• 39:57
  that's
• 39:57
  a
• 39:57
  great
• 39:57
  approach.
• 39:58
  Thank
• 39:58
  you
• 39:58
  for
• 39:59
  sharing
• 39:59
  that.
• 39:59
  So
• 39:59
  anyone
• 40:00
  out
• 40:00
  there
• 40:00
  who
• 40:00
  has
• 40:01
  this
• 40:01
  idea,
• 40:02
  and
• 40:02
  a
• 40:02
  lot
• 40:03
  of
• 40:03
  times
• 40:04
  you
• 40:04
  can
• 40:04
  find
• 40:05
  plushies
• 40:06
  that
• 40:07
  almost
• 40:07
  match
• 40:07
  your
• 40:08
  character
• 40:09
  in
• 40:09
  terms
• 40:09
  of
• 40:10
  its
• 40:10
  characteristics
• 40:11
  and
• 40:11
  its
• 40:11
  look
• 40:12
  and
• 40:13
  to
• 40:13
  do
• 40:13
  what
• 40:13
  Brittany
• 40:14
  is
• 40:14
  doing,
• 40:15
  what
• 40:15
  a
• 40:15
  terrific
• 40:15
  idea.
• 40:16
  And
• 40:16
  I've
• 40:16
  done
• 40:16
  the
• 40:16
  groundwork
• 40:17
  and
• 40:17
  I
• 40:17
  provide
• 40:17
  that
• 40:18
  list.
• 40:18
  So
• 40:18
  if
• 40:18
  anybody's
• 40:19
  bought
• 40:19
  a
• 40:19
  book
• 40:19
  and
• 40:19
  they
• 40:19
  reach
• 40:19
  out
• 40:19
  to
• 40:20
  me
• 40:20
  and
• 40:20
  they're
• 40:20
  like,
• 40:20
  hey,
• 40:20
  where
• 40:21
  was
• 40:21
  that
• 40:21
  deer?
• 40:22
  Now,
• 40:22
  the
• 40:22
  only
• 40:22
  thing
• 40:23
  is,
• 40:23
  in
• 40:23
  my
• 40:23
  particular
• 40:24
  stuffed
• 40:25
  deer,
• 40:25
  we
• 40:25
  did
• 40:25
  cut
• 40:26
  the
• 40:26
  ear
• 40:26
  and
• 40:26
  stitch
• 40:26
  it
• 40:27
  back
• 40:27
  together
• 40:27
  so

  matches

  Sally's

  torn

  She's

  only

  you

  couldn't

  That

  part

  of

  why

• 41:25
  very
• 41:26
  small
• 41:26
  fraction.
• 41:26
  And
• 41:27
  the
• 41:27
  best
• 41:27
  way
• 41:27
  to
• 41:28
  make
• 41:28
  the
• 41:29
  money
• 41:29
  for
• 41:29
  the
• 41:29
  work
• 41:29
  that
• 41:29
  you
• 41:30
  put
• 41:30
  into
• 41:30
  the
• 41:30
  books
• 41:30
  is
• 41:31
  to
• 41:31
  sell
• 41:31
  them.
• 41:32
  I
• 41:32
  have
• 41:32
  found
• 41:33
  in
• 41:33
  person.
• 41:34
  That's
• 41:34
  where
• 41:34
  you
• 41:35
  see
• 41:35
  the
• 41:35
  most
• 41:35
  revenue
• 41:36
  when
• 41:36
  you
• 41:36
  have
• 41:36
  the
• 41:36
  best
• 41:37
  margins.
• 41:38
  And
• 41:38
  it
• 41:38
  also
• 41:39
  allows
• 41:39
  you
• 41:39
  to
• 41:40
  make
• 41:40
  connections.
• 41:40
  So
• 41:40
  the
• 41:41
  whole
• 41:41
  reason
• 41:41
  I
• 41:41
  started
• 41:42
  doing
• 41:42
  this
• 41:42
  is
• 41:42
  because
• 41:43
  of
• 41:43
  the
• 41:43
  animals
• 41:43
  that
• 41:43
  I
• 41:43
  love
• 41:44
  and
• 41:44
  to
• 41:44
  share
• 41:44
  their
• 41:44
  stories.
• 41:45
  And
• 41:45
  people
• 41:46
  have
• 41:46
  shared
• 41:46
  their
• 41:46
  stories
• 41:47
  about
• 41:47
  the
• 41:47
  animals
• 41:48
  that
• 41:48
  they
• 41:48
  love
• 41:48
  as
• 41:48
  well.
• 41:49
  So
• 41:49
  for
• 41:49
  me,
• 41:50
  these
• 41:50
  in
• 41:50
  person
• 41:50
  events
• 41:51
  have
• 41:51
  allowed
• 41:51
  me
• 41:52
  to
• 41:52
  connect
• 41:52
  with
• 41:53
  stories,
• 41:53
  my
• 41:53
  readers,
• 41:54
  be
• 41:54
  them,
• 41:54
  adults,
• 41:55
  children,
• 41:57
  and
• 41:57
  everything
• 41:57
  in
• 41:57
  between,
• 41:59
  and
• 41:59
  to
• 41:59
  hear
• 41:59
  the
• 42:00
  stories
• 42:00
  that
• 42:00
  they
• 42:00
  love
• 42:01
  and
• 42:02
  to
• 42:03
  be
• 42:03
  able
• 42:03
  to
• 42:03
  make
• 42:03
  those
• 42:04
  sales.
• 42:04
  But
• 42:04
  it's
• 42:04
  not
• 42:05
  even
• 42:05
  about
• 42:05
  the
• 42:06
  sales.
• 42:06
  It's
• 42:06
  about
• 42:07
  the
• 42:07
  connections
• 42:07
  and
• 42:08
  the
• 42:08
  people
• 42:08
  that
• 42:08
  I'm
• 42:08
  meeting.
• 42:09
  And
• 42:09
  when
• 42:10
  you
• 42:10
  take
• 42:10
  this
• 42:11
  sales
• 42:11
  part
• 42:12
  out
• 42:12
  of
• 42:12
  it,
• 42:13
  I
• 42:13
  found
• 42:13
  I
• 42:13
  sell
• 42:14
  more.
• 42:14
  It's
• 42:15
  not
• 42:15
  a
• 42:15
  sales
• 42:15
  pitch.
• 42:16
  I'm
• 42:16
  telling
• 42:16
  you
• 42:17
  about
• 42:17
  animals
• 42:17
  that
• 42:18
  I
• 42:18
  love
• 42:18
  and
• 42:18
  how
• 42:18
  they've
• 42:18
  touched
• 42:19
  my
• 42:19
  life.
• 42:19
  And
• 42:19
  I'm
• 42:19
  listening
• 42:20
  to
• 42:20
  your
• 42:20
  stories
• 42:21
  about
• 42:21
  animals
• 42:21
  you've
• 42:22
  loved
• 42:22
  or
• 42:23
  people
• 42:23
  that
• 42:24
  have
• 42:24
  had
• 42:24
  loss.
• 42:24
  In
• 42:25
  the
• 42:25
  particular
• 42:25
  case
• 42:25
  of
• 42:26
  Goodbye
• 42:26
  Blue,
• 42:27
  when
• 42:27
  it's
• 42:27
  humans
• 42:28
  connecting
• 42:28
  with
• 42:28
  humans.
• 42:29
  And
• 42:29
  then
• 42:29
  if
• 42:29
  a
• 42:29
  sale
• 42:30
  happens,
• 42:30
  that's
• 42:30
  wonderful.
• 42:31
  With
• 42:31
  Goodbye
• 42:31
  Blue,
• 42:32
  my
• 42:32
  first
• 42:32
  event,
• 42:33
  there
• 42:33
  was
• 42:33
  a
• 42:33
  woman
• 42:34
  that
• 42:34
  came
• 42:34
  in
• 42:35
  and
• 42:36
  she
• 42:36
  bought
• 42:36
  eight
• 42:36
  copies
• 42:37
  of
• 42:37
  Goodbye
• 42:37
  Blue.
• 42:37
  She
• 42:37
  had
• 42:38
  just
• 42:38
  lost
• 42:38
  her
• 42:38
  best
• 42:38
  friend,
• 42:39
  her
• 42:40
  human
• 42:41
  best
• 42:41
  friend,
• 42:41
  and
• 42:42
  was
• 42:42
  going
• 42:42
  to
• 42:42
  awake
• 42:43
  the
• 42:43
  next
• 42:43
  day.
• 42:44
  And
• 42:44
  so
• 42:44
  she
• 42:44
  bought
• 42:44
  copies
• 42:45
  of
• 42:45
  the
• 42:45
  book
• 42:45
  for
• 42:46
  everybody
• 42:46
  at
• 42:46
  the
• 42:46
  wake.
• 42:47
  And
• 42:47
  she
• 42:47
  was
• 42:47
  crying
• 42:48
  and
• 42:48
  I
• 42:48
  was
• 42:48
  crying.
• 42:49
  And
• 42:49
  regardless
• 42:49
  of
• 42:50
  the
• 42:50
  sale,
• 42:50
  just
• 42:50
  to
• 42:50
  be
• 42:51
  able
• 42:51
  to
• 42:51
  touch
• 42:51
  a
• 42:51
  life
• 42:52
  in
• 42:52
  that
• 42:52
  way,
• 42:53
  it
• 42:53
  was
• 42:53
  better
• 42:53
  than
• 42:54
  the
• 42:54
  sal
• 42:54
  itself,
• 42:55
  to
• 42:55
  be
• 42:55
  completely
• 42:56
  honest.
• 42:56
  And
• 42:56
  that's
• 42:56
  when
• 42:56
  I
• 42:57
  call
• 42:57
  an
• 42:57
  event
• 42:57
  a
• 42:57
  success.
• 42:58
  And
• 42:58
  that's
• 42:58
  why
• 42:58
  I
• 42:58
  keep
• 42:59
  doing
• 42:59
  these
• 42:59
  events,
• 43:00
  is
• 43:00
  for
• 43:00
  these
• 43:01
  moments
• 43:01
  and
• 43:01
  for
• 43:02
  these
• 43:02
  stories.
• 43:03
  I
• 43:04
  was
• 43:04
  at
• 43:04
  another
• 43:04
  event
• 43:05
  and
• 43:05
  I
• 43:05
  had
• 43:05
  a
• 43:06
  little
• 43:06
  girl
• 43:06
  and
• 43:07
  she
• 43:07
  had
• 43:07
  lost
• 43:07
  her
• 43:07
  father
• 43:08
  two
• 43:08
  weeks
• 43:08
  prior.
• 43:09
  And
• 43:09
  they
• 43:09
  bought
• 43:09
  Goodbye
• 43:10
  Blue.
• 43:10
  When
• 43:10
  she
• 43:11
  left,
• 43:11
  I
• 43:11
  held
• 43:11
  it
• 43:11
  together,
• 43:12
  but
• 43:12
  as
• 43:12
  soon
• 43:12
  as
• 43:12
  she
• 43:13
  left,
• 43:13
  I
• 43:13
  started
• 43:13
  sobbing.
• 43:15
  And
• 43:15
  moments
• 43:15
  later,
• 43:16
  a
• 43:16
  little
• 43:16
  boy
• 43:16
  had
• 43:17
  come
• 43:17
  in
• 43:17
  and
• 43:17
  two
• 43:17
  days
• 43:17
  prior,
• 43:18
  he
• 43:18
  had
• 43:18
  lost
• 43:18
  his
• 43:19
  dog.
• 43:19
  You
• 43:19
  realize
• 43:20
  that
• 43:21
  you
• 43:21
  don't
• 43:22
  get
• 43:22
  out
• 43:22
  of
• 43:22
  life
• 43:23
  unscathed
• 43:24
  and
• 43:24
  you
• 43:24
  don't
• 43:24
  get
• 43:25
  out
• 43:25
  of
• 43:25
  life
• 43:25
  without
• 43:26
  going
• 43:26
  through
• 43:26
  hard
• 43:27
  things
• 43:27
  or
• 43:27
  good
• 43:28
  things
• 43:28
  and
• 43:28
  everything
• 43:29
  in
• 43:29
  between.
• 43:30
  And
• 43:30
  so
• 43:30
  if
• 43:30
  I
• 43:30
  can
• 43:31
  have
• 43:31
  these
• 43:31
  moments
• 43:31
  and
• 43:31
  I
• 43:31
  can
• 43:32
  connect
• 43:32
  with
• 43:32
  people
• 43:32
  to
• 43:33
  me,
• 43:33
  that's
• 43:33
  why
• 43:33
  I'm
• 43:34
  doing
• 43:34
  it.
• 43:35
  And
• 43:36
  I
• 43:36
  love
• 43:36
  selling
• 43:36
  more,
• 43:37
  not
• 43:37
  even
• 43:37
  trying.
• 43:38
  And
• 43:38
  it's
• 43:39
  interesting
• 43:39
  you
• 43:39
  should
• 43:39
  say
• 43:40
  that
• 43:40
  because
• 43:40
  I've
• 43:40
  had
• 43:41
  many
• 43:41
  of
• 43:42
  our
• 43:42
  guests
• 43:42
  talk
• 43:42
  about
• 43:43
  how
• 43:45
  we're
• 43:45
  talking
• 43:45
  about
• 43:46
  children's
• 43:46
  books
• 43:47
  and
• 43:47
  the
• 43:47
  primary
• 43:49
  consumer
• 43:50
  of
• 43:50
  your
• 43:50
  book
• 43:50
  as
• 43:51
  a
• 43:51
  child.
• 43:52
  But
• 43:52
  a
• 43:52
  lot
• 43:52
  of
• 43:53
  times
• 43:53
  I'm
• 43:53
  now
• 43:53
  finding
• 43:54
  out
• 43:54
  when
• 43:54
  children's
• 43:55
  book
• 43:55
  authors
• 43:55
  go
• 43:55
  to
• 43:56
  events
• 43:56
  and
• 43:57
  they
• 43:57
  do
• 43:57
  a
• 43:57
  reading,
• 43:58
  they
• 43:59
  Have
• 43:59
  a
• 43:59
  lot
• 43:59
  of
• 43:59
  adults
• 44:00
  come
• 44:00
  up
• 44:00
  to
• 44:00
  them
• 44:00
  and
• 44:01
  they
• 44:01
  say,
• 44:01
  that's
• 44:02
  my
• 44:02
  story.
• 44:03
  A
• 44:04
  lot
• 44:04
  of
• 44:04
  our
• 44:04
  guests
• 44:05
  were
• 44:05
  surprised
• 44:06
  that
• 44:06
  people
• 44:07
  who
• 44:08
  were
• 44:08
  adults
• 44:08
  were
• 44:09
  seeing
• 44:09
  themselves
• 44:10
  as
• 44:10
  that
• 44:11
  child
• 44:11
  in
• 44:12
  that
• 44:12
  story.
• 44:13
  It's
• 44:13
  so
• 44:13
  true.
• 44:14
  I
• 44:14
  think
• 44:14
  all
• 44:14
  of
• 44:15
  us
• 44:15
  have
• 44:15
  had
• 44:16
  the
• 44:16
  trauma
• 44:17
  of
• 44:17
  dealing
• 44:18
  with
• 44:18
  the
• 44:18
  loss
• 44:18
  of
• 44:19
  a
• 44:19
  pet.
• 44:20
  And
• 44:20
  we
• 44:20
  can
• 44:20
  certainly
• 44:21
  see
• 44:21
  ourselves
• 44:22
  like
• 44:23
  I
• 44:23
  did
• 44:23
  in
• 44:23
  your
• 44:24
  story,
• 44:24
  Goodbye,
• 44:24
  Blue.
• 44:25
  I
• 44:25
  could
• 44:25
  see
• 44:25
  myself
• 44:26
  completely
• 44:27
  immersed
• 44:28
  in
• 44:28
  that
• 44:28
  story.
• 44:29
  And
• 44:30
  that's
• 44:30
  the
• 44:30
  best
• 44:31
  part,
• 44:31
  is
• 44:31
  for
• 44:31
  a
• 44:31
  minute,
• 44:32
  you
• 44:32
  don't
• 44:32
  feel
• 44:32
  so
• 44:32
  alone.
• 44:33
  And
• 44:33
  that's
• 44:33
  my
• 44:33
  hope
• 44:34
  in
• 44:34
  writing
• 44:34
  it
• 44:35
  is
• 44:35
  that
• 44:35
  you
• 44:35
  find
• 44:36
  a
• 44:36
  little
• 44:36
  bit
• 44:36
  of
• 44:36
  hope
• 44:37
  and
• 44:38
  you
• 44:38
  have
• 44:38
  a
• 44:38
  moment
• 44:38
  of
• 44:38
  reprieve.
• 44:39
  Nothing
• 44:39
  takes
• 44:40
  away
• 44:40
  the
• 44:40
  pain
• 44:40
  of
• 44:40
  that
• 44:41
  loss.
• 44:41
  Nothing
• 44:41
  eases
• 44:42
  that
• 44:42
  ache.
• 44:44
  But
• 44:44
  just
• 44:44
  knowing
• 44:44
  that
• 44:44
  you're
• 44:45
  not
• 44:45
  alone
• 44:45
  and
• 44:45
  that
• 44:46
  you
• 44:46
  can
• 44:46
  survive
• 44:47
  it.
• 44:47
  And
• 44:47
  then,
• 44:47
  goodbye,
• 44:48
  Blue.
• 44:48
  Because
• 44:49
  I
• 44:49
  called
• 44:49
  Annabelle
• 44:50
  blue.
• 44:50
  What
• 44:50
  is
• 44:51
  interesting
• 44:51
  is,
• 44:51
  since
• 44:51
  she's
• 44:52
  passed,
• 44:52
  I've
• 44:52
  seen
• 44:53
  blue
• 44:53
  herons
• 44:53
  everywhere.
• 44:54
  And
• 44:54
  it's
• 44:55
  how
• 44:55
  I
• 44:55
  feel
• 44:55
  like.
• 44:56
  And
• 44:56
  I
• 44:56
  talk
• 44:56
  about
• 44:56
  that
• 44:57
  in
• 44:57
  the
• 44:57
  children's
• 44:58
  book.
• 44:58
  It's
• 44:58
  how
• 44:58
  I
• 44:58
  feel
• 44:58
  like
• 44:59
  her
• 44:59
  love
• 44:59
  has
• 44:59
  lived
• 45:00
  on
• 45:00
  and
• 45:00
  lived
• 45:01
  with
• 45:01
  me.
• 45:01
  Is
• 45:02
  the
• 45:02
  first
• 45:02
  time
• 45:03
  I
• 45:03
  went
• 45:03
  kayaking
• 45:03
  down
• 45:04
  the
• 45:04
  river.
• 45:04
  And
• 45:04
  my
• 45:04
  character
• 45:05
  in
• 45:05
  the
• 45:05
  book,
• 45:05
  she
• 45:05
  kayaks
• 45:06
  down
• 45:06
  the
• 45:06
  river.
• 45:06
  A
• 45:07
  blue
• 45:07
  heron
• 45:07
  follows
• 45:08
  her
• 45:08
  down
• 45:08
  the
• 45:08
  river.
• 45:08
  And
• 45:08
  it
• 45:09
  really
• 45:09
  followed
• 45:09
  me
• 45:10
  down
• 45:10
  the
• 45:10
  river.
• 45:10
  This
• 45:11
  is
• 45:11
  all
• 45:11
  based
• 45:11
  on
• 45:12
  a
• 45:12
  true
• 45:12
  story
• 45:12
  of
• 45:13
  what
• 45:13
  happened
• 45:13
  to
• 45:13
  me.
• 45:14
  And
• 45:14
  I
• 45:14
  knew
• 45:14
  without
• 45:15
  a
• 45:15
  shadow
• 45:15
  of
• 45:15
  a
• 45:15
  doubt,
• 45:16
  like,
• 45:16
  if
• 45:16
  there
• 45:16
  was
• 45:16
  Annabelle
• 45:17
  that
• 45:17
  could
• 45:17
  come
• 45:17
  back
• 45:18
  and
• 45:18
  look
• 45:18
  after
• 45:19
  me.
• 45:19
  And
• 45:19
  that
• 45:20
  was
• 45:20
  something
• 45:20
  she
• 45:20
  and
• 45:20
  I
• 45:20
  did
• 45:21
  together.
• 45:22
  That
• 45:22
  was
• 45:22
  her
• 45:23
  way
• 45:23
  of
• 45:23
  saying,
• 45:23
  I'm
• 45:24
  here.
• 45:24
  I
• 45:24
  love
• 45:25
  you.
• 45:25
  I'll
• 45:25
  never
• 45:26
  leave
• 45:26
  you.
• 45:27
  I
• 45:27
  see
• 45:28
  that
• 45:28
  even
• 45:29
  with
• 45:29
  myself,
• 45:30
  Brittany,
• 45:31
  when
• 45:31
  I'm
• 45:31
  out
• 45:31
  and
• 45:31
  about
• 45:32
  and
• 45:32
  I
• 45:32
  see
• 45:32
  something
• 45:33
  that
• 45:33
  triggers
• 45:34
  an
• 45:34
  event,
• 45:35
  there's
• 45:35
  an
• 45:35
  event
• 45:36
  that
• 45:36
  triggers
• 45:37
  something
• 45:37
  that
• 45:37
  I
• 45:37
  think
• 45:37
  of.
• 45:38
  Bandit.
• 45:40
  I've
• 45:40
  seen
• 45:40
  it
• 45:40
  in
• 45:40
  the
• 45:41
  strangest
• 45:41
  of
• 45:41
  places.
• 45:41
  I
• 45:42
  was
• 45:42
  getting
• 45:42
  ready
• 45:42
  for
• 45:42
  an
• 45:43
  art
• 45:43
  show,
• 45:43
  and
• 45:43
  of
• 45:44
  all
• 45:44
  the
• 45:44
  places
• 45:44
  on
• 45:45
  the
• 45:45
  bathroom
• 45:45
  toilet,
• 45:46
  the
• 45:46
  seat
• 45:46
  was
• 45:47
  down.
• 45:47
  And
• 45:47
  I
• 45:47
  didn't.
• 45:47
  I
• 45:48
  always
• 45:48
  tell
• 45:48
  the
• 45:48
  story.
• 45:48
  I
• 45:48
  didn't
• 45:49
  want
• 45:49
  to
• 45:49
  touch
• 45:49
  it.
• 45:49
  It
• 45:49
  was
• 45:49
  gross.
• 45:50
  But
• 45:50
  when
• 45:50
  I
• 45:50
  looked
• 45:51
  down,
• 45:51
  there
• 45:52
  was
• 45:52
  a
• 45:52
  blue
• 45:52
  crane
• 45:52
  logo.
• 45:53
  And
• 45:53
  it
• 45:53
  just
• 45:53
  felt
• 45:54
  like
• 45:54
  that
• 45:54
  moment
• 45:54
  of
• 45:54
  her
• 45:55
  saying,
• 45:55
  I
• 45:55
  got
• 45:55
  you.
• 45:55
  I'm
• 45:56
  still
• 45:56
  here.
• 45:56
  You
• 45:56
  know
• 45:57
  what
• 45:57
  I'm
• 45:57
  saying?
• 45:57
  I'm
• 45:58
  like,
• 45:58
  absolutely.
• 45:59
  Wow.
• 46:01
  I
• 46:01
  want
• 46:01
  to
• 46:01
  take
• 46:02
  you
• 46:02
  just
• 46:03
  back
• 46:03
  to
• 46:04
  your
• 46:04
  children's
• 46:05
  book
• 46:05
  authority
• 46:06
  journey.
• 46:07
  Was
• 46:07
  there
• 46:07
  a
• 46:08
  specific
• 46:08
  now,
• 46:09
  and
• 46:09
  I'm
• 46:09
  not
• 46:10
  thinking
• 46:10
  about
• 46:11
  your.
• 46:12
  Any
• 46:12
  of
• 46:12
  your
• 46:13
  books,
• 46:13
  and
• 46:14
  as
• 46:14
  this
• 46:15
  specific
• 46:15
  item,
• 46:16
  I'm
• 46:16
  just
• 46:17
  thinking
• 46:17
  about,
• 46:18
  was
• 46:18
  there
• 46:18
  a
• 46:18
  specific
• 46:19
  person
• 46:20
  or
• 46:20
  event
• 46:20
  that
• 46:21
  that
• 46:22
  triggered
• 46:22
  you
• 46:23
  and
• 46:23
  said
• 46:24
  motivated
• 46:25
  you
• 46:25
  to
• 46:26
  finally
• 46:28
  become
• 46:28
  A
• 46:28
  children's
• 46:29
  book
• 46:29
  author.
• 46:31
  The
• 46:31
  Dear
• 46:32
  Sally.
• 46:33
  Sally
• 46:34
  was
• 46:34
  that
• 46:35
  absolute
• 46:35
  moment.
• 46:36
  Sally
• 46:36
  was
• 46:37
  the
• 46:37
  moment
• 46:37
  that
• 46:38
  felt
• 46:38
  like
• 46:39
  that
• 46:39
  fell
• 46:39
  into
• 46:40
  my
• 46:40
  lap
• 46:40
  and
• 46:41
  was
• 46:41
  too
• 46:41
  good
• 46:41
  of
• 46:42
  a
• 46:42
  story
• 46:42
  to
• 46:42
  be
• 46:43
  true
• 46:43
  and
• 46:43
  needed
• 46:44
  to
• 46:44
  be
• 46:44
  shared.
• 46:46
  That
• 46:46
  motivated
• 46:47
  me
• 46:47
  to
• 46:47
  put
• 46:47
  it
• 46:47
  on
• 46:47
  paper.
• 46:49
  And
• 46:49
  when
• 46:49
  you
• 46:50
  wrote
• 46:50
  Goodbye
• 46:51
  Blue,
• 46:52
  as
• 46:52
  you
• 46:53
  developed
• 46:53
  the
• 46:53
  character,
• 46:54
  was
• 46:54
  Blue
• 46:56
  Annabelle
• 46:57
  completely,
• 46:58
  or
• 46:58
  were
• 46:59
  some
• 47:00
  things
• 47:00
  in
• 47:00
  your
• 47:00
  book
• 47:01
  different
• 47:02
  from
• 47:02
  your
• 47:02
  own
• 47:02
  experience?
• 47:04
  No.
• 47:04
  Everything
• 47:05
  that
• 47:05
  happens
• 47:06
  in
• 47:06
  Goodbye
• 47:07
  blue
• 47:07
  was
• 47:07
  Annabelle
• 47:08
  100%.
• 47:08
  Everything
• 47:09
  that
• 47:09
  happened
• 47:10
  in
• 47:10
  Sally
• 47:11
  was
• 47:11
  Sally
• 47:12
  the
• 47:12
  deer.
• 47:13
  And
• 47:13
  Gladys
• 47:13
  is
• 47:14
  based
• 47:14
  on
• 47:14
  myself.
• 47:15
  These
• 47:16
  are
• 47:16
  my
• 47:18
  experiences
• 47:20
  entirely.
• 47:21
  Other
• 47:21
  than
• 47:21
  I
• 47:22
  don't
• 47:22
  know
• 47:22
  how
• 47:22
  Sally
• 47:23
  got
• 47:23
  hurt.
• 47:24
  I
• 47:24
  needed
• 47:24
  to
• 47:24
  find
• 47:25
  a
• 47:25
  way
• 47:25
  to
• 47:25
  show
• 47:26
  that
• 47:26
  for
• 47:26
  children,
• 47:27
  to
• 47:27
  show
• 47:28
  what
• 47:28
  she
• 47:28
  looked
• 47:28
  like
• 47:29
  when
• 47:29
  I
• 47:29
  met
• 47:29
  her,
• 47:29
  which
• 47:29
  is
• 47:29
  the
• 47:30
  tournier
• 47:30
  and
• 47:30
  the
• 47:31
  limp.
• 47:31
  And
• 47:32
  so
• 47:32
  I
• 47:32
  needed
• 47:32
  to
• 47:32
  soften
• 47:33
  that
• 47:33
  and
• 47:34
  find
• 47:34
  a
• 47:35
  way
• 47:35
  that
• 47:36
  made
• 47:36
  sense
• 47:36
  from
• 47:37
  a
• 47:37
  storytelling
• 47:37
  perspective.
• 47:38
  But
• 47:38
  everything
• 47:39
  outside
• 47:39
  of
• 47:39
  that,
• 47:39
  her
• 47:40
  eating
• 47:40
  apples
• 47:40
  out
• 47:40
  of
• 47:40
  my
• 47:41
  hand,
• 47:41
  her
• 47:41
  coming
• 47:41
  each
• 47:42
  night,
• 47:42
  her
• 47:43
  leading
• 47:43
  with
• 47:43
  courage
• 47:44
  and
• 47:44
  not
• 47:45
  being
• 47:45
  as
• 47:45
  bullied
• 47:46
  anymore,
• 47:46
  all
• 47:47
  of
• 47:47
  that
• 47:47
  is
• 47:47
  based
• 47:48
  on
• 47:48
  real
• 47:48
  life
• 47:49
  experiences.
• 47:50
  As
• 47:50
  you
• 47:50
  wrote
• 47:51
  Goodbye
• 47:52
  Blue,
• 47:53
  and
• 47:53
  like
• 47:54
  you
• 47:54
  said,
• 47:54
  it's
• 47:54
  based
• 47:55
  on
• 47:55
  all
• 47:56
  real
• 47:56
  life
• 47:57
  experiences.
• 47:59
  Discuss
• 47:59
  how,
• 48:00
  because
• 48:01
  you
• 48:01
  already
• 48:01
  had
• 48:01
  the
• 48:02
  story,
• 48:02
  you
• 48:02
  already
• 48:03
  had
• 48:03
  the
• 48:03
  experiences.
• 48:04
  Talk
• 48:05
  to
• 48:05
  us
• 48:05
  how
• 48:05
  you
• 48:06
  developed
• 48:06
  the
• 48:07
  theme.
• 48:08
  So
• 48:08
  discuss
• 48:09
  the
• 48:09
  theme
• 48:09
  and
• 48:10
  how
• 48:10
  you
• 48:11
  wove
• 48:11
  that
• 48:11
  in
• 48:12
  into
• 48:13
  the
• 48:13
  book.
• 48:14
  So
• 48:14
  for
• 48:15
  me,
• 48:16
  I
• 48:16
  always
• 48:16
  called
• 48:16
  Annabelle
• 48:17
  blue.
• 48:19
  And
• 48:19
  the
• 48:19
  story,
• 48:19
  just
• 48:20
  like
• 48:20
  I
• 48:20
  said
• 48:21
  again,
• 48:21
  when
• 48:21
  she
• 48:21
  passed,
• 48:22
  fell
• 48:22
  into
• 48:22
  my
• 48:23
  lap.
• 48:23
  And
• 48:24
  this
• 48:24
  theme
• 48:25
  to
• 48:25
  me
• 48:26
  is
• 48:26
  what
• 48:26
  love
• 48:27
  looks
• 48:27
  like
• 48:28
  when
• 48:28
  it
• 48:29
  changes
• 48:29
  form
• 48:30
  or
• 48:30
  when
• 48:30
  we
• 48:31
  experience
• 48:31
  loss.
• 48:33
  And
• 48:33
  the
• 48:33
  version
• 48:34
  that
• 48:34
  I
• 48:35
  wrote
• 48:35
  is
• 48:36
  actually
• 48:36
  the
• 48:36
  version
• 48:37
  that
• 48:37
  I
• 48:37
  ended
• 48:38
  up.
• 48:38
  I
• 48:38
  don't
• 48:38
  think
• 48:39
  I
• 48:39
  had
• 48:39
  any
• 48:39
  rewrites
• 48:40
  for
• 48:40
  that,
• 48:41
  but
• 48:41
  I
• 48:41
  wrote
• 48:41
  with
• 48:42
  my
• 48:42
  heart
• 48:43
  and
• 48:43
  I
• 48:43
  wrote
• 48:44
  what
• 48:45
  I
• 48:45
  was
• 48:45
  feeling.
• 48:47
  And
• 48:47
  it
• 48:47
  was
• 48:48
  easy
• 48:48
  to
• 48:48
  stay
• 48:48
  true
• 48:49
  to
• 48:49
  the
• 48:49
  seam
• 48:50
  and
• 48:50
  true
• 48:50
  to
• 48:51
  all
• 48:51
  of
• 48:51
  that.
• 48:52
  And
• 48:52
  the
• 48:52
  blue,
• 48:53
  I
• 48:54
  didn't
• 48:54
  even
• 48:54
  realize
• 48:54
  the
• 48:55
  connection
• 48:55
  would
• 48:55
  be
• 48:55
  the
• 48:56
  blue
• 48:56
  heron
• 48:56
  from
• 48:57
  calling
• 48:57
  her
• 48:57
  blue
• 48:58
  and
• 48:58
  making
• 48:59
  sense
• 49:00
  as
• 49:00
  that
• 49:00
  wink
• 49:00
  and
• 49:01
  that
• 49:01
  nod
• 49:02
  until
• 49:02
  it
• 49:03
  was
• 49:03
  done.
• 49:03
  And
• 49:03
  I
• 49:03
  looked
• 49:04
  at
• 49:04
  it
• 49:04
  and
• 49:04
  I
• 49:04
  was
• 49:04
  like,
• 49:04
  oh,
• 49:05
  that
• 49:05
  makes
• 49:06
  total
• 49:06
  sense.
• 49:07
  I'm
• 49:07
  like,
• 49:07
  in
• 49:07
  this
• 49:08
  weird
• 49:08
  way,
• 49:08
  what
• 49:09
  I
• 49:09
  always
• 49:09
  called
• 49:10
  her
• 49:10
  and
• 49:10
  what
• 49:10
  I
• 49:11
  started
• 49:11
  seeing
• 49:11
  that
• 49:12
  I
• 49:12
  knew
• 49:12
  was
• 49:12
  her
• 49:14
  and
• 49:14
  was
• 49:14
  the
• 49:14
  theme
• 49:15
  of
• 49:15
  the
• 49:15
  book,
• 49:15
  of
• 49:15
  what
• 49:16
  love
• 49:16
  looks
• 49:16
  like
• 49:17
  and
• 49:17
  how
• 49:17
  it's
• 49:17
  transformed
• 49:18
  and
• 49:18
  changed
• 49:19
  and
• 49:19
  how
• 49:19
  she
• 49:19
  stays
• 49:19
  with
• 49:20
  me.
• 49:22
  It
• 49:22
  just
• 49:22
  is
• 49:22
  what
• 49:23
  it
• 49:23
  was.
• 49:23
  It's
• 49:24
  what
• 49:24
  I've
• 49:24
  lived
• 49:25
  and
• 49:25
  didn't
• 49:25
  even
• 49:26
  know
• 49:26
  that's
• 49:26
  what
• 49:27
  I
• 49:27
  was
• 49:27
  living
• 49:27
  until
• 49:27
  I
• 49:28
  put
• 49:28
  it
• 49:28
  on
• 49:28
  paper
• 49:28
  and
• 49:29
  stepped
• 49:29
  back
• 49:29
  from
• 49:29
  it.
• 49:30
  When
• 49:30
  it
• 49:30
  comes
• 49:31
  to
• 49:31
  your,
• 49:33
  I'm
• 49:33
  thinking
• 49:34
  about
• 49:34
  your
• 49:36
  writing
• 49:36
  process
• 49:37
  because
• 49:38
  you
• 49:38
  seem
• 49:38
  to
• 49:38
  me
• 49:38
  to
• 49:39
  be
• 49:39
  a
• 49:39
  very
• 49:39
  Visual
• 49:40
  person,
• 49:41
  as
• 49:41
  you're
• 49:41
  describing
• 49:42
  things,
• 49:43
  tell
• 49:43
  us
• 49:43
  about
• 49:44
  now
• 49:44
  that
• 49:44
  you've
• 49:45
  authored
• 49:46
  four
• 49:47
  separate
• 49:47
  titles,
• 49:48
  talk
• 49:49
  to
• 49:49
  us
• 49:49
  about
• 49:50
  what's
• 49:50
  changed
• 49:51
  or
• 49:51
  what's
• 49:52
  stayed
• 49:52
  the
• 49:52
  same
• 49:53
  in
• 49:53
  your
• 49:53
  writing
• 49:54
  process.
• 49:56
  So
• 49:56
  I
• 49:56
  do
• 49:57
  what
• 49:57
  everybody
• 49:57
  expects
• 49:58
  me
• 49:58
  to
• 49:59
  do
• 49:59
  last
• 50:00
  first,
• 50:01
  being
• 50:01
  visual.
• 50:02
  People
• 50:02
  think
• 50:02
  that
• 50:02
  I
• 50:03
  start
• 50:03
  with
• 50:03
  pictures,
• 50:04
  but
• 50:04
  I
• 50:05
  don't.
• 50:05
  Writing,
• 50:06
  to
• 50:06
  me,
• 50:06
  is
• 50:07
  cathartic
• 50:07
  and
• 50:07
  therapeutic.
• 50:08
  What
• 50:09
  I
• 50:09
  am
• 50:09
  doing
• 50:10
  when
• 50:10
  I
• 50:10
  am
• 50:10
  writing
• 50:11
  the
• 50:11
  story,
• 50:11
  that's
• 50:12
  how
• 50:12
  I
• 50:12
  start
• 50:12
  with
• 50:13
  my
• 50:13
  children's
• 50:13
  books,
• 50:13
  is
• 50:14
  I
• 50:14
  start
• 50:14
  with
• 50:14
  writing.
• 50:16
  It
• 50:16
  is
• 50:16
  a
• 50:16
  way
• 50:16
  of
• 50:17
  me
• 50:17
  processing
• 50:17
  emotions
• 50:18
  or
• 50:18
  an
• 50:18
  event
• 50:19
  on
• 50:19
  paper.
• 50:20
  And
• 50:21
  I
• 50:21
  am
• 50:21
  writing
• 50:21
  down
• 50:22
  everything
• 50:22
  that
• 50:22
  happens
• 50:23
  and
• 50:24
  everything
• 50:24
  that
• 50:24
  I've
• 50:24
  felt
• 50:25
  and
• 50:25
  experienced,
• 50:26
  and
• 50:26
  then
• 50:26
  finding
• 50:27
  a
• 50:27
  way
• 50:27
  to
• 50:27
  pare
• 50:27
  it
• 50:28
  down
• 50:28
  to
• 50:28
  a
• 50:29
  children's
• 50:29
  level
• 50:29
  so
• 50:30
  that
• 50:30
  it's
• 50:30
  appropriate
• 50:31
  and
• 50:31
  packageable,
• 50:32
  but
• 50:32
  it's
• 50:33
  cathartic.
• 50:34
  So
• 50:34
  I
• 50:34
  am
• 50:34
  using
• 50:35
  that
• 50:35
  as
• 50:36
  a
• 50:36
  therapy
• 50:37
  and
• 50:37
  a
• 50:37
  healing
• 50:37
  or
• 50:38
  a
• 50:38
  processing.
• 50:39
  And
• 50:40
  then
• 50:40
  from
• 50:40
  that,
• 50:41
  the
• 50:41
  pictures
• 50:42
  come
• 50:42
  to
• 50:42
  life,
• 50:42
  and
• 50:43
  maybe
• 50:43
  the
• 50:43
  story
• 50:43
  needs
• 50:44
  to
• 50:44
  be
• 50:44
  rearranged
• 50:45
  ever
• 50:45
  so
• 50:46
  slightly
• 50:46
  in
• 50:46
  order
• 50:47
  so
• 50:47
  that
• 50:47
  it
• 50:47
  makes
• 50:47
  sense
• 50:48
  in
• 50:48
  a
• 50:48
  children's
• 50:48
  book
• 50:49
  format.
• 50:50
  But
• 50:50
  I'm
• 50:51
  using
• 50:51
  the
• 50:51
  writing
• 50:52
  as
• 50:52
  therapy,
• 50:53
  and
• 50:54
  then
• 50:54
  the
• 50:54
  visuals
• 50:55
  are
• 50:55
  just
• 50:55
  like
• 50:56
  bringing
• 50:56
  it
• 50:56
  home
• 50:57
  and
• 50:57
  packaging
• 50:58
  it.
• 50:59
  So
• 50:59
  I'm
• 50:59
  doing
• 50:59
  it
• 51:00
  in
• 51:00
  the
• 51:00
  way
• 51:00
  that
• 51:00
  people
• 51:00
  least
• 51:01
  expect,
• 51:02
  but
• 51:03
  it's
• 51:03
  healing
• 51:03
  a
• 51:03
  part
• 51:04
  of
• 51:04
  me
• 51:04
  or
• 51:04
  helping
• 51:05
  me
• 51:05
  process
• 51:05
  things.
• 51:07
  Okay,
• 51:07
  and
• 51:08
  as
• 51:08
  you
• 51:08
  wrote
• 51:08
  your
• 51:09
  books,
• 51:10
  did
• 51:10
  you
• 51:10
  do
• 51:10
  any
• 51:11
  external
• 51:12
  research
• 51:13
  or
• 51:13
  did
• 51:14
  you
• 51:14
  just
• 51:14
  draw
• 51:14
  from
• 51:15
  your
• 51:15
  own.
• 51:16
  Experiences
• 51:18
  with
• 51:18
  the
• 51:19
  books
• 51:20
  that
• 51:20
  are
• 51:20
  currently
• 51:21
  on
• 51:21
  market?
• 51:22
  They
• 51:22
  are
• 51:23
  all
• 51:23
  my
• 51:23
  own
• 51:23
  experiences
• 51:24
  with
• 51:25
  a
• 51:25
  book
• 51:25
  that
• 51:26
  I
• 51:26
  have
• 51:26
  coming
• 51:26
  out
• 51:27
  next
• 51:27
  year
• 51:27
  that
• 51:27
  is
• 51:27
  a
• 51:28
  partnership.
• 51:29
  I
• 51:29
  did
• 51:30
  a
• 51:30
  ton
• 51:30
  of
• 51:30
  research,
• 51:31
  but
• 51:31
  also
• 51:32
  my
• 51:32
  work
• 51:32
  with
• 51:32
  the
• 51:32
  special
• 51:33
  needs
• 51:33
  community
• 51:34
  led
• 51:35
  me
• 51:35
  down.
• 51:37
  And
• 51:37
  so
• 51:37
  for
• 51:38
  that
• 51:38
  one
• 51:38
  to
• 51:38
  have
• 51:39
  accuracy
• 51:40
  in
• 51:40
  what
• 51:40
  we
• 51:40
  are
• 51:41
  showing
• 51:41
  and
• 51:41
  how
• 51:41
  we
• 51:42
  are
• 51:42
  speaking
• 51:43
  and
• 51:44
  the
• 51:44
  partnership
• 51:45
  itself
• 51:45
  that
• 51:45
  we
• 51:45
  are
• 51:46
  explaining
• 51:46
  in
• 51:46
  the
• 51:46
  back
• 51:47
  of
• 51:47
  the
• 51:47
  book,
• 51:49
  I
• 51:49
  did
• 51:49
  a
• 51:49
  ton
• 51:49
  of
• 51:49
  research.
• 51:50
  I
• 51:50
  did
• 51:50
  a
• 51:50
  lot
• 51:51
  of
• 51:51
  walking,
• 51:51
  interviewing,
• 51:52
  et
• 51:52
  cetera.
• 51:53
  We
• 51:53
  can
• 51:54
  say
• 51:54
  more
• 51:54
  in
• 51:54
  the
• 51:55
  new
• 51:55
  year,
• 51:55
  which
• 51:55
  is
• 51:55
  really
• 51:56
  exciting
• 51:56
  about
• 51:57
  that
• 51:57
  one.
• 51:58
  But
• 51:58
  that's
• 51:58
  the
• 51:58
  first
• 51:58
  time
• 51:59
  that
• 51:59
  I
• 51:59
  did
• 51:59
  research
• 52:00
  to
• 52:00
  that
• 52:00
  level
• 52:00
  to
• 52:01
  make
• 52:01
  sure
• 52:01
  that
• 52:01
  everything
• 52:01
  was
• 52:02
  accurate.
• 52:02
  And
• 52:03
  there
• 52:03
  was
• 52:03
  a
• 52:03
  lot
• 52:03
  of
• 52:03
  subject
• 52:04
  matter
• 52:04
  experts
• 52:05
  that
• 52:05
  are
• 52:05
  reading
• 52:05
  through
• 52:06
  my
• 52:06
  story.
• 52:06
  It's
• 52:06
  no
• 52:07
  longer
• 52:07
  just
• 52:07
  a
• 52:07
  story,
• 52:08
  for
• 52:08
  it
• 52:08
  feels
• 52:09
  good
• 52:09
  and
• 52:09
  it
• 52:09
  has
• 52:10
  heart.
• 52:10
  It's
• 52:10
  still
• 52:11
  is
• 52:11
  based
• 52:11
  on
• 52:11
  a
• 52:11
  true
• 52:12
  life
• 52:12
  animal
• 52:12
  story,
• 52:13
  still
• 52:13
  stays
• 52:14
  true
• 52:14
  to
• 52:14
  the
• 52:15
  brand,
• 52:15
  but
• 52:15
  there
• 52:16
  was
• 52:16
  a
• 52:16
  lot
• 52:16
  of
• 52:16
  subject
• 52:17
  matter
• 52:18
  checking
• 52:19
  that
• 52:19
  needed
• 52:19
  to
• 52:19
  happen
• 52:19
  to
• 52:20
  make
• 52:20
  sure
• 52:20
  that
• 52:20
  everything
• 52:20
  that
• 52:21
  I
• 52:21
  was
• 52:21
  portraying
• 52:21
  in
• 52:22
  the
• 52:22
  story
• 52:22
  that
• 52:22
  we
• 52:22
  were
• 52:23
  telling
• 52:23
  was
• 52:23
  accurate
• 52:24
  and
• 52:24
  appropriate
• 52:25
  and
• 52:25
  all
• 52:25
  of
• 52:26
  that.
• 52:26
  So
• 52:27
  that
• 52:27
  one's
• 52:27
  been
• 52:27
  totally
• 52:28
  different.
• 52:29
  Thank
• 52:29
  you
• 52:29
  for
• 52:30
  Sharing
• 52:30
  that.
• 52:30
  I'm
• 52:31
  going
• 52:31
  to
• 52:31
  try
• 52:31
  and
• 52:31
  take
• 52:31

• 52:32
  back
• 52:32

• 52:35
  and
• 52:35
  I
• 52:35
  want
• 52:35
  you
• 52:35
  to
• 52:35
  think
• 52:36
  of
• 52:36
  your
• 52:36
  first
• 52:36
  book
• 52:37
  and
• 52:37
  then
• 52:38
  I
• 52:38
  want
• 52:39
  to
• 52:39
  draw
• 52:39
  you
• 52:39
  forward
• 52:40
  on
• 52:40
  a
• 52:41
  journey.
• 52:41
  So
• 52:41
  I
• 52:42
  want
• 52:42
  to
• 52:42
  talk
• 52:42
  to
• 52:42
  you
• 52:42
  about
• 52:43
  success.
• 52:44
  So
• 52:44
  talk
• 52:45
  to
• 52:45
  us
• 52:45
  about
• 52:46
  how
• 52:47
  you
• 52:47
  envisioned
• 52:48
  success
• 52:50
  when
• 52:50
  you
• 52:50
  published
• 52:51
  your
• 52:51
  first
• 52:51
  children's
• 52:52
  book
• 52:52
  and
• 52:53
  how
• 52:53
  has
• 52:53
  that
• 52:54
  stayed
• 52:54
  the
• 52:54
  same
• 52:54
  or
• 52:55
  how
• 52:55
  has
• 52:55
  it
• 52:55
  changed
• 52:56
  over
• 52:56
  the
• 52:57
  evolution
• 52:57
  or
• 52:58
  journey
• 52:59
  of
• 53:00
  now
• 53:00
  having
• 53:01
  four
• 53:01
  soft
• 53:02
  covered
• 53:02
  books
• 53:03
  and
• 53:03
  one
• 53:03
  compilation.
• 53:04
  Take
• 53:05
  us
• 53:05
  on
• 53:05
  that
• 53:05
  whole
• 53:05
  success
• 53:06
  journey,
• 53:07
  how
• 53:07
  it's
• 53:07
  changed
• 53:08
  for
• 53:08
  you.
• 53:09
  Yeah,
• 53:10
  that's
• 53:10
  a
• 53:10
  great
• 53:10
  question.
• 53:11
  So
• 53:12
  when
• 53:12
  I
• 53:12
  started,
• 53:14
  I
• 53:15
  wrote
• 53:15
  the
• 53:15
  book
• 53:17
  for
• 53:17
  me.
• 53:18
  Sally
• 53:19
  was,
• 53:19
  for
• 53:19
  me,
• 53:20
  in
• 53:20
  a
• 53:20
  way,
• 53:20
  felt
• 53:20
  like
• 53:21
  this.
• 53:21
  Like
• 53:21
  I
• 53:21
  felt
• 53:22
  like
• 53:22
  Snow
• 53:22
  White.
• 53:22
  And
• 53:22
  I
• 53:22
  always
• 53:23
  joked
• 53:23
  that
• 53:23
  I
• 53:23
  felt
• 53:24
  like
• 53:24
  Snow
• 53:24
  White
• 53:24
  with
• 53:24
  the
• 53:25
  animals
• 53:25
  coming
• 53:25
  to
• 53:26
  me.
• 53:26
  And
• 53:26
  you
• 53:26
  know
• 53:26
  what
• 53:26
  I'm
• 53:26
  saying?
• 53:27
  Like,
• 53:27
  I've
• 53:27
  always
• 53:27
  had
• 53:27
  that
• 53:27
  ability,
• 53:28
  that
• 53:28
  kinship.
• 53:29
  And
• 53:29
  so
• 53:30
  I
• 53:30
  was
• 53:30
  like,
• 53:30
  it
• 53:30
  was
• 53:30
  just
• 53:31
  fun
• 53:31
  to
• 53:32
  express
• 53:32
  that
• 53:33
  and
• 53:33
  to
• 53:33
  put
• 53:34
  out
• 53:34
  what
• 53:34
  I
• 53:34
  could
• 53:35
  do
• 53:35
  into
• 53:35
  the
• 53:36
  world.
• 53:37
  And
• 53:37
  to
• 53:37
  me,
• 53:38
  being
• 53:38
  successful
• 53:39
  at
• 53:39
  that
• 53:39
  moment
• 53:40
  was
• 53:40
  just
• 53:40
  getting
• 53:40
  a
• 53:40
  book
• 53:41
  out
• 53:41
  into
• 53:41
  the
• 53:41
  world
• 53:42
  because
• 53:42
  I
• 53:42
  had
• 53:42
  never
• 53:43
  done
• 53:43
  it
• 53:43
  before.
• 53:44
  So
• 53:44
  I
• 53:45
  could
• 53:45
  say,
• 53:45
  hey,
• 53:45
  I
• 53:46
  have
• 53:46
  always
• 53:46
  wanted
• 53:46
  to
• 53:47
  publish
• 53:47
  a
• 53:47
  book
• 53:48
  and
• 53:48
  I
• 53:48
  published
• 53:48
  a
• 53:48
  book.
• 53:49
  I
• 53:49
  did
• 53:49
  it.
• 53:49
  I
• 53:49
  did
• 53:49
  the
• 53:50
  whole
• 53:50
  process.
• 53:50
  The
• 53:50
  E
• 53:50
  book,
• 53:51
  the
• 53:51
  book
• 53:51
  itself.
• 53:52
  That
• 53:52
  was
• 53:52
  success
• 53:53
  when
• 53:53
  I
• 53:53
  started
• 53:54
  is
• 53:54
  the
• 53:54
  fact
• 53:54
  that
• 53:55
  I
• 53:55
  had
• 53:55
  a
• 53:55
  children's
• 53:56
  book
• 53:56
  that
• 53:56
  was
• 53:56
  pretty
• 53:56
  cool.
• 53:58
  And
• 53:58
  now
• 53:59
  to
• 53:59
  me,
• 54:00
  success
• 54:01
  looks
• 54:01
  like
• 54:02
  being
• 54:02
  able
• 54:02
  to
• 54:03
  touch
• 54:03
  lives
• 54:03
  with
• 54:04
  these
• 54:04
  stories
• 54:05
  and
• 54:05
  make
• 54:05
  a
• 54:05
  difference.
• 54:07
  And
• 54:07
  if
• 54:07
  I
• 54:07
  go
• 54:07
  to
• 54:08
  an
• 54:08
  event
• 54:08
  and
• 54:08
  I
• 54:09
  got
• 54:09
  one
• 54:10
  of
• 54:10
  those
• 54:10
  stories
• 54:11
  about
• 54:11
  somebody's
• 54:13
  loss
• 54:14
  or
• 54:14
  some
• 54:15
  connection
• 54:16
  or
• 54:16
  some,
• 54:17
  you
• 54:17
  know
• 54:17
  what
• 54:17
  I'm
• 54:17
  saying,
• 54:17
  with
• 54:18
  you
• 54:18
  and
• 54:18
  your
• 54:18
  granddaughters
• 54:19
  and
• 54:19
  your
• 54:19
  loss
• 54:20
  of
• 54:20
  Bandit,
• 54:22
  that
• 54:22
  makes
• 54:23
  it
• 54:23
  worth
• 54:23
  it
• 54:23
  and
• 54:24
  that
• 54:24
  makes
• 54:24
  me
• 54:24
  feel
• 54:25
  successful
• 54:25
  because
• 54:26
  people
• 54:26
  don't
• 54:26
  feel
• 54:27
  alone,
• 54:27
  they
• 54:27
  feel
• 54:28
  understood.
• 54:29
  And
• 54:29
  that
• 54:30
  is
• 54:30
  now
• 54:30
  at
• 54:30
  this
• 54:31
  stage,
• 54:31
  how
• 54:31
  I
• 54:31
  am
• 54:32
  measuring
• 54:32
  success.
• 54:33
  It's
• 54:34
  not
• 54:34
  how
• 54:34
  many
• 54:35
  books
• 54:35
  I
• 54:35
  sell.
• 54:36
  I
• 54:36
  keep
• 54:36
  track
• 54:37
  for
• 54:37
  tax
• 54:37
  purposes,
• 54:38
  but
• 54:38
  that's
• 54:38
  not
• 54:38
  why
• 54:39
  I'm
• 54:39
  in
• 54:39
  it.
• 54:39
  It's
• 54:39
  not
• 54:40
  my
• 54:40
  day
• 54:40
  job.
• 54:41
  That's
• 54:41
  why
• 54:41
  I
• 54:41
  go
• 54:42
  with
• 54:42
  a
• 54:42
  publisher.
• 54:43
  You
• 54:43
  know
• 54:43
  what
• 54:43
  I'm
• 54:43
  saying?
• 54:43
  When
• 54:44
  I've
• 54:44
  had.
• 54:44
  I've
• 54:44
  been
• 54:44
  blessed
• 54:45
  to
• 54:45
  have
• 54:45
  those
• 54:45
  opportunities.
• 54:47
  Absolutely,
• 54:47
  absolutely.
• 54:48
  Now,
• 54:49
  you
• 54:50
  mentioned
• 54:50
  that
• 54:51
  you'd
• 54:51
  like
• 54:51
  to
• 54:52
  produce
• 54:52
  about
• 54:53
  four
• 54:53
  books
• 54:53
  a
• 54:54
  year.
• 54:54
  Because
• 54:54
  that's
• 54:54
  ambitious
• 54:56
  and
• 54:56
  yet
• 54:57
  you've
• 54:57
  done
• 54:57
  it.
• 54:58
  But
• 54:58
  I'm
• 54:58
  curious,
• 55:00
  how
• 55:00
  is
• 55:00
  the
• 55:01
  role
• 55:01
  of

  writing

  illustrating

  changed
• 55:04
  from
• 55:05
  your
• 55:05
  first
• 55:05
  book
• 55:06
  to
• 55:06
  now
• 55:07
  you've
• 55:07
  set
• 55:07
  yourself
• 55:08
  a
• 55:08
  benchmark.
• 55:09
  Like
• 55:09
  you
• 55:10
  said,
• 55:10
  it
• 55:10
  ends
• 55:10
  up
• 55:11
  being
• 55:11
  three,
• 55:11
  not
• 55:11
  four.
• 55:12
  You're
• 55:12
  not
• 55:12
  going
• 55:12
  to
• 55:13
  be
• 55:13
  stressed
• 55:13
  about
• 55:13
  it,
• 55:14
  but
• 55:14
  obviously
• 55:14
  things
• 55:15
  have
• 55:15
  changed.
• 55:16
  Talk
• 55:16
  to
• 55:16
  us
• 55:16
  now
• 55:17
  about
• 55:17
  the
• 55:17
  role
• 55:18
  of
• 55:18
  writing
• 55:18
  and
• 55:19
  illustrating
• 55:20
  in
• 55:20
  your
• 55:20
  life
• 55:21
  versus
• 55:22
  prior
• 55:22
  to
• 55:24
  writing
• 55:24
  about
• 55:24
  Sally.
• 55:26
  So
• 55:27
  now
• 55:28
  people
• 55:28
  are
• 55:28
  coming
• 55:29
  to
• 55:29
  me
• 55:29
  with
• 55:29
  their
• 55:29
  stories,
• 55:30
  which
• 55:31
  is
• 55:31
  exciting.
• 55:32
  And
• 55:32
  so
• 55:32
  that's
• 55:32
  part
• 55:32
  of
• 55:33
  what
• 55:33
  I'm
• 55:33
  writing
• 55:33
  for
• 55:33
  next
• 55:34
  year
• 55:34
  is
• 55:34
  it's
• 55:35
  someone
• 55:35
  else's
• 55:36
  story
• 55:36
  that
• 55:36
  has
• 55:37
  touched
• 55:37
  me
• 55:37
  in
• 55:38
  a
• 55:38
  way
• 55:38
  that
• 55:39
  it
• 55:39
  fit
• 55:39
  into
• 55:40
  the
• 55:40
  brand,
• 55:40
  it
• 55:41
  fit
• 55:41
  into
• 55:41
  what
• 55:41
  I'm
• 55:41
  doing.
• 55:42
  And
• 55:43
  I
• 55:43
  would
• 55:43
  say
• 55:43
  that
• 55:43
  is
• 55:44
  how
• 55:44
  it's
• 55:44
  different
• 55:44
  now
• 55:44
  is
• 55:45
  it's
• 55:45
  not
• 55:45
  just
• 55:46
  my
• 55:46
  immediate
• 55:47
  experiences
• 55:47
  and
• 55:48
  animals
• 55:48
  that
• 55:48
  have
• 55:48
  come
• 55:49
  directly
• 55:49
  into
• 55:50
  my
• 55:50
  life
• 55:51
  than
• 55:51
  animals
• 55:51
  that
• 55:51
  I
• 55:52
  care
• 55:52
  for
• 55:52
  or
• 55:52
  take
• 55:53
  care
• 55:53
  of.
• 55:54
  Would
• 55:55
  you
• 55:55
  think
• 55:55
  that
• 55:55
  your
• 55:56
  conscious
• 55:56
  level
• 55:57
  is
• 55:58
  higher
• 55:58
  now
• 55:59
  in
• 56:00
  terms
• 56:00
  of
• 56:01
  your
• 56:02
  mind?
• 56:02
  Is
• 56:03
  it's
• 56:04
  almost
• 56:04
  like
• 56:04
  sending
• 56:05
  out.
• 56:05
  Almost
• 56:06
  like
• 56:06
  sending
• 56:06
  out
• 56:06
  signals
• 56:07
  looking
• 56:08
  for
• 56:09
  stories?
• 56:10
  Yes,
• 56:10
  I
• 56:11
  would
• 56:11
  say
• 56:11
  yes.
• 56:12
  And
• 56:12
  I
• 56:12
  would
• 56:12
  say
• 56:12
  that
• 56:12
  they're
• 56:13
  finding
• 56:13
  me
• 56:14
  and
• 56:14
  in.
• 56:15
  In
• 56:15
  these
• 56:15
  events
• 56:16
  and
• 56:16
  when
• 56:16
  I
• 56:16
  least
• 56:16
  expect
• 56:17
  them,
• 56:17
  you
• 56:17
  know
• 56:18
  what
• 56:18
  I'm
• 56:18
  saying?
• 56:18
  Or
• 56:19
  in
• 56:19
  these
• 56:19
  animal
• 56:20
  encounters,
• 56:20
  because
• 56:20
  it
• 56:20
  just.
• 56:21
  I'm
• 56:21
  doing
• 56:21
  what
• 56:21
  I
• 56:22
  love.
• 56:22
  I'm
• 56:22
  living
• 56:22
  a.
• 56:23
  That
• 56:23
  I
• 56:23
  love
• 56:23
  and
• 56:23
  that
• 56:24
  feels
• 56:24
  purposeful.
• 56:25
  And
• 56:25
  in
• 56:25
  it,
• 56:25
  these
• 56:26
  things
• 56:26
  are
• 56:26
  finding
• 56:27
  me
• 56:27
  and
• 56:27
  demanding
• 56:28
  to
• 56:28
  be
• 56:28
  told.
• 56:28
  And
• 56:29
  I'm
• 56:30
  willing
• 56:30
  to
• 56:30
  tell
• 56:30
  those
• 56:30
  stories
• 56:31
  and
• 56:31
  help
• 56:31
  bring
• 56:31
  them
• 56:32
  to
• 56:32
  life.
• 56:32
  Thank
• 56:33
  you
• 56:33
  for
• 56:33
  sharing
• 56:33
  that.
• 56:33
  Because
• 56:34
  recently
• 56:34
  I
• 56:35
  was
• 56:35
  watching
• 56:35
  a
• 56:36
  show
• 56:36
  on
• 56:37
  Sunday
• 56:38
  and
• 56:39
  there
• 56:39
  was
• 56:39
  a
• 56:39
  story
• 56:40
  and
• 56:40
  I
• 56:40
  had
• 56:41
  just
• 56:41
  actually
• 56:42
  got
• 56:42
  this
• 56:43
  inspiration
• 56:44
  and
• 56:44
  I
• 56:45
  wrote
• 56:46
  a
• 56:47
  children's
• 56:47
  book
• 56:48
  over
• 56:48
  the
• 56:48
  last
• 56:48
  couple
• 56:49
  of
• 56:49
  weeks.
• 56:50
  It
• 56:50
  fits
• 56:50
  into
• 56:51
  the
• 56:51
  Adventures
• 56:52
  of
• 56:52
  Caboose,
• 56:53
  the
• 56:53
  Rocky
• 56:53
  Mountain
• 56:53
  Bear.
• 56:54
  It's
• 56:54
  all
• 56:54
  about
• 56:55
  animals
• 56:55
  that
• 56:56
  live
• 56:56
  in
• 56:57
  the
• 56:57
  Rocky
• 56:57
  Mountains.
• 56:58
  It
• 56:58
  was
• 56:58
  interesting
• 56:59
  because
• 56:59
  I
• 56:59
  was
• 56:59
  watching
• 57:00
  the
• 57:00
  story
• 57:00
  on
• 57:01
  a
• 57:01
  blind
• 57:02
  mountain
• 57:02
  climber.
• 57:04
  Can
• 57:04
  you
• 57:05
  imagine?
• 57:06
  No.
• 57:07
  Yes.
• 57:08
  It
• 57:08
  was
• 57:08
  unbelievable
• 57:10
  story.
• 57:11
  And
• 57:11
  I
• 57:11
  thought,
• 57:12
  oh.
• 57:13
  And
• 57:13
  even
• 57:13
  though
• 57:14
  it
• 57:14
  didn't
• 57:14
  take
• 57:14
  place
• 57:15
  in
• 57:15
  the
• 57:15
  Rocky
• 57:15
  Mountains,
• 57:17
  could
• 57:17
  very
• 57:17
  well
• 57:17
  have.
• 57:18
  And
• 57:18
  I
• 57:18
  thought
• 57:19
  that's
• 57:19
  an
• 57:20
  inspiration
• 57:21
  for
• 57:22
  another
• 57:22
  story
• 57:23
  in
• 57:23
  our
• 57:23
  books.
• 57:24
  I
• 57:24
  wrote
• 57:24
  the
• 57:24
  title
• 57:25
  down
• 57:26
  based
• 57:26
  on
• 57:27
  this
• 57:28
  Blind
• 57:30
  Mountain
• 57:30
  Climbing.
• 57:31
  That's
• 57:32
  incredible.
• 57:33
  And
• 57:33
  so
• 57:33
  to
• 57:33
  your
• 57:34
  point,
• 57:34
  you're
• 57:34
  sending
• 57:35
  these
• 57:35
  signals
• 57:36
  out
• 57:36
  searching
• 57:37
  and
• 57:38
  then
• 57:38
  it's
• 57:38
  funny
• 57:39
  what
• 57:39
  bounces
• 57:39
  back
• 57:40
  to
• 57:40
  you.
• 57:41
  And
• 57:41
  it's
• 57:41
  usually
• 57:42
  when
• 57:42
  you
• 57:42
  least
• 57:42
  expect.
• 57:43
  And
• 57:43
  you
• 57:43
  didn't.
• 57:44
  You
• 57:44
  weren't
• 57:45
  like
• 57:45
  advertly
• 57:46
  looking
• 57:46
  for
• 57:47
  it,
• 57:47
  like
• 57:47
  you
• 57:48
  were
• 57:48
  just
• 57:48
  watching
• 57:49
  and
• 57:50
  you
• 57:50
  didn't
• 57:50
  expect
• 57:51
  to
• 57:51
  be
• 57:51
  inspired,
• 57:52
  but
• 57:52
  there
• 57:53
  you
• 57:53
  were
• 57:53
  and
• 57:54
  it
• 57:54
  demanded
• 57:54
  to
• 57:54
  be
• 57:54
  written.
• 57:55
  And
• 57:56
  so
• 57:56
  you
• 57:56
  wrote
• 57:57
  it
• 57:57
  and
• 57:58
  are
• 57:58
  producing
• 57:58
  it,
• 57:59
  which
• 57:59
  is
• 57:59
  incredible.
• 58:00
  You
• 58:00
  know
• 58:00
  what
• 58:00
  I'm
• 58:00
  saying?
• 58:00
  I'm
• 58:01
  like,
• 58:01
  that's
• 58:01
  what
• 58:01
  has
• 58:02
  happened
• 58:02
  here.
• 58:03
  Yes.
• 58:04
  Yeah.
• 58:04
  So
• 58:05
  thank
• 58:05
  you
• 58:05
  again
• 58:06
  for
• 58:06
  sharing
• 58:07
  how
• 58:07
  you
• 58:07
  are
• 58:08
  being
• 58:09
  motivated,
• 58:10
  the
• 58:10
  catalyst
• 58:11
  to
• 58:11
  keep
• 58:11
  your
• 58:11
  children's
• 58:12
  book
• 58:12
  authorship
• 58:13
  journey
• 58:13
  going.
• 58:14
  So
• 58:14
  thank
• 58:14
  you
• 58:14
  for
• 58:15
  sharing
• 58:15
  that
• 58:15
  because
• 58:16
  I'm
• 58:16
  sure
• 58:16
  a
• 58:16
  lot
• 58:16
  of
• 58:17
  people
• 58:17
  think,
• 58:18
  oh,
• 58:18
  I
• 58:18
  wrote
• 58:19
  one
• 58:19
  book,
• 58:19
  I
• 58:19
  got
• 58:19
  an
• 58:20
  idea
• 58:20
  for
• 58:20
  a
• 58:20
  second
• 58:21
  book,
• 58:21
  but
• 58:22
  maybe
• 58:22
  not
• 58:22
  thinking
• 58:23
  it
• 58:23
  all
• 58:23
  the
• 58:23
  way
• 58:23
  through.
• 58:24
  And
• 58:24
  I
• 58:24
  think
• 58:25
  you
• 58:25
  never
• 58:25
  know
• 58:26
  when
• 58:26
  inspiration
• 58:27
  is
• 58:27
  going
• 58:27
  to
• 58:27
  strike.
• 58:28
  If
• 58:28
  you
• 58:28
  are
• 58:28
  open,
• 58:29
  I
• 58:29
  say
• 58:29
  keep
• 58:30
  that
• 58:30
  open
• 58:30
  heart
• 58:32
  and
• 58:33
  the
• 58:33
  stories
• 58:33
  will
• 58:33
  keep
• 58:34
  coming.
• 58:35
  It's
• 58:35
  a
• 58:35
  great
• 58:36
  segue
• 58:36
  because
• 58:36
  my
• 58:37
  next
• 58:37
  question
• 58:38
  for
• 58:38
  you
• 58:38
  is
• 58:38
  advice
• 58:39
  for
• 58:39
  aspiring
• 58:40
  authors.
• 58:41
  What
• 58:41
  advice
• 58:42
  would
• 58:42
  you
• 58:42
  give
• 58:42
  for
• 58:43
  someone
• 58:43
  who's
• 58:43
  just
• 58:43
  starting
• 58:44
  out?
• 58:45
  That's
• 58:45
  a
• 58:45
  good
• 58:46
  one.
• 58:46
  I've
• 58:46
  had
• 58:47
  a
• 58:47
  lot
• 58:47
  of
• 58:47
  help.
• 58:47
  I've
• 58:48
  been
• 58:48
  very
• 58:48
  fortunate
• 58:48
  and
• 58:49
  very
• 58:49
  blessed
• 58:49
  to
• 58:50
  be
• 58:50
  next
• 58:51
  to
• 58:51
  the
• 58:51
  right
• 58:51
  people
• 58:51
  without
• 58:52
  even
• 58:52
  knowing
• 58:52
  I
• 58:52
  was
• 58:53
  right
• 58:53
  next
• 58:53
  to
• 58:54
  the
• 58:54
  right
• 58:54
  people.
• 58:55
  I
• 58:55
  would
• 58:56
  say
• 58:56
  to
• 58:56
  keep
• 58:57
  that
• 58:57
  open
• 58:57
  heart.
• 58:57
  Like
• 58:58
  I

  something.
• 59:26
  There's
• 59:27
  they're

  bravery.
• 59:32
  And
• 59:32
  one
• 59:32
  of
• 59:33
  the
• 59:33
  titles,
• 59:33
  those
• 59:33
  are
• 59:33
  the
• 59:34
  things
• 59:34
  that
• 59:34
  I've
• 59:34
  tried
• 59:35
  to
• 59:35
  emulate
• 59:35
  in
• 59:35
  True
• 59:36
  Heart
• 59:36
  Tales
• 59:36
  and
• 59:36
  they're
• 59:37
  things
• 59:37
  that
• 59:37
  I've
• 59:37
  found
• 59:37
  in
• 59:38
  my
• 59:38
  own
• 59:38
  life
• 59:38
  that
• 59:38
  are
• 59:39
  important.
• 59:40
  And
• 59:40
  there
• 59:40
  are
• 59:40
  things
• 59:41
  that
• 59:41
  with
• 59:41
  my
• 59:41
  special
• 59:41
  needs
• 59:41
  work
• 59:42
  and
• 59:42
  my

  day
• 59:42
  job
• 59:42
  and
• 59:43
  everything

  else
• 59:43
  I
• 59:44
  feel

  world
• 59:45
  needs
• 59:46
  more

• 59:46
  It's
• 59:47
  hard,
• 59:48
  it's
• 59:48
  tough.
• 59:49
  And
• 59:50
  so
• 59:50
  I
• 59:50
  hope
• 59:51
  that
