  • Gabi's definition of "snack characters"
  • A brief-ish digression into venus fly traps--flowers or just fiends?
  • Gabi calls Courtney a snack
  • Gabi talks about how first lines can be used to introduced character and mentions Six of Crows...again.
  • Reader magnets--what they are, how to distribute them, and ideas for your newsletter
  • Our favorite side/snack characters and why we like them
    • Of course, snacks that include pumpkin cookies and a warm brussel sprout salad.
    • Courtney learns something new about Gabi that she should have already known.
