I a csuch a fan of Debbie's artwork. She's been so generous in allowing us writers to use some of her comics with credit. Thanks for sharing your journey and tips!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved Debbie's art. Thank you for all the ways you pay it forward, Debbie. I loved reading how your road was paved. I just saw Romelle's comment and I agree about your generosity. :-)
