Anyone have writing craft courses they’d recommend for those who don’t want to write but want to be more insightful reviewers? 👀

Today we’re venturing into the maze & talking @sarahhollowell’s What Stalks Among Us for Feature Friday. Sarah and I are hoping to have a more in-depth convo at a later date, so this will help us be ready for when she teaches us to navigate the maze. youtu.be/Ux2ldi8G5Kk
