INK Sisters Write

Dear Alison, You sure do know the way to my nerdy heart. I can't believe that you went to all the trouble to create charts just for me...well, I guess it was technically for the blog, but we know who those charts were really for...I mean the post screams, "Kim, this one's for you!" I don't have anything stat driven today, but I plan to gush on and on about Zachariah Ohora and the Character session I crashed at the SCBWIEPA Pocono Retreat. In last week's  SCBWIEPA Pocono Highlights #2 post , I announced to the world that I am a closet illustrator.

Dear Kim, We made it! Today is officially the last day of our #AtoZChallenge. I can't think of a better friend to end the challenge with than Zachariah Ohora.

Much Love, Alison
