Awesome Addition, Shawna! I’ve made a habit of finding out who the people I listen to are listening to. What books do they read? How do they spend their free time? What do they do to learn more and keep their minds sharp? These are easy, friendly questions to ask and very revealing.

I really like how you listened, and then you were able to push the boundaries with your own imagination and skills! Great post! Over my years of freelancing, I have come to learn who to listen to and who not to listen to. A lot of the time in recent years I have found it’s not my agent I should listen to. In past years I took everything she said as the gospel truth. That I should have the kind of portfolio pieces she thought I should have and take on all the jobs she gave me. But over the last almost two years, I starters listening to other writers and illustrators who are making it in pursuing their dreams in the right way. It’s all about listening, and listening to the right people and then doing. Thanks so much for sharing a little bit of your recent journey!

Well worded, David!
