@JustinRColon #PBChat ugh

[Jason J. LoBello @JasonJLoBello]

@JustinRColon #PBChat oops! My bad!

[Jason J. LoBello @JasonJLoBello]

@JustinRColon Had an awesome double ms critique, followed by a dual line by line edit with an amazing agent!
She was tough, but challenged me to find my true voice! (My throats a bit scratchy)

Also, a brief rekindle with my very first major contact, which got this thing kickstarted!

@VashtiHarrison We wouldn’t have known we went over time until you told us.
Learned a lot in limited time!

Thank you!

And thank you to @linoliver as always! Oh, and for the flowers, minus the three spiders!
