What's your relationship with creating on a deadline? ❤️ it? 👎it? I'm feeling both at the moment. It's exhilarating.
Waiting for the #50preciouswords results. Heartfelt thanks to the judges for taking their time!
Noticed a $1.99 Kindle deal that the #writingcommunity might appreciate. Escaping Into the Open: The Art of Writing True by Elizabeth Berg. Hurry and grab it!
Have you applied, friends? #mentoring #WritingCommunity #kidlit I'm not superstitious at all, but I was tempted to tape my all my winter gloves in crossies formation. 🤞
#50PreciousWords UPDATE!!! 1st day of SPRING! The judges and I will be tallying the votes & hope to announce prize winners & HMs sometime next week. You all haven't made this easy for us - what an incredible community of writers you are! & more books for the #literacy initiative!
Great job @juliehauswrites on your #kidlitchoice win!
Also waiting for #50PreciousWords results, due out sometime soon! Did you enter? #kidlit #microfiction #SCBWI
Writer's Digest explains a genre I'd never heard of until today... romantasy. Do any of you write it? Read it? How would you define it? #WritingCommmunity #WFWA
#PBParty Even though I did the ranking party, I still changed my mind at the last minute based on engagement from Twitter pitch events, including today's. Hoping I made the right choice! 🤞 It's only my career on the line. It'll be fine. #ISWG #amquerying
#pbpitch is this Thursday 8am-8pm EST. Sending good luck vibes to all those participating!
Alright #amquerying folks - this is probably the last one I’m going to do, but once I reach 8000 followers I’ll do a query critique giveaway. (And it’s usually more than one, too). Follow and RT to help me get there and get a free critique! #writingcommunity #amwriting
"The reward for hard and good work is the opportunity to do more of it." Still thinking about this quote I recently heard, for authors & illustrators in the kidlit marketplace.
Who's excited for our 6th annual #springflingkidlit contest coming this April?!?! sites.google.com/view/springfli… (new prize donors coming soon!)

yes, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, but no one makes 100% of the shots they take, either. so write the next thing. query another agent. try a new genre. I promise, putting yourself out there gets a little less scary each time. shoot your shot, again and again.
Yay!! I was a #KidsChoiceKidLitWritingContest Honorable mention!! Thanks for running this contest @KaileiPew and thanks to all the kids!!
And now... announcing the 2024 #KidsChoiceKidLitWritingContest Honorable Mentions! Thank you to everyone who entered. You should be so proud of yourselves for putting your work out there. And congrats to all the honorable mention recipients! kaileipewbooks.com/post/announcin…
Sometimes the boost comes when you need it most, and after such a quiet start to the year, I definitely needed it! Huge thank you to @KaileiPew and all the amazing kid judges who put so much time and heart into this contest ❤️ You're the best! #KidsChoiceKidlit
@tonnyef I am eternally hopeful and think that possibly down the road someone will want to publish them. Editors turn over all the time, tastes and trends change, etc. So I just hold on to them.
Hi y’all! The 3rd annual #KidLitVibes contest will be back this summer!! Stay tuned! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Hiiiii!! 👋 It’s us, The Frenzies! 📚 Follow this account for all Frenzy Friends and #KitLitVibes updates! @GennieGorback @MollyIppolito @JessHinrichs @LindseyBHobson
Baby will say everyone's name but mine. I'm either a grunt or he signs milk 😅. This AM my daughter was playing with her doll that says "Mama". She looks at me with a full bucket of sass and says, "well, MY baby says mama." Ouch.
When I first set out to become a published children's book author, one "rule" about writing for children that everyone seemed to agree on was this: Don't write a story to teach a lesson. It was a good rule. We should go back to that rule.
Thrilled to announce that I'm now represented by the amazing and kind @lindsaydauld of Writers House! 🎉 Excited to begin this journey together!!!!! Somebody pinch me!!
Since I became a published author 2 yrs ago, I've been contacting local radio stations trying to get on to talk books, but no dice. My husband just came home & informed me that our DOG is going to be interviewed on the radio tomorrow. (Related... Our kids: What is a radio? 😂)
It’s funny that my iPhone’s Face ID recognizes me with sunglasses, but doesn’t recognize my morning, sleepy, groggy-eyed, just-woke-up face. 😎😅
Had a great call with @AndrewCHacket today, courtesy of @juliehauswrites’s blog. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experiences with me!
Thank you all for joining and reviewing!! We can’t wait to see you at future events! :)
Woohoo for MOO HOO!🥳 Thanks to everyone who joined for @audreyperrott 's reading of MOO HOO, with fantastic illustrations by Ross Burach! You all sent in 45 reviews, woohoo!! And the winner of Audrey's giveaway is... 🥁 🥁 🥁 @KenaiDiane!!
College sweethearts. It will be 20-years married next month. ❤️❤️❤️
Met hubby in a college class. Watched him from afar for a while. He noticed & eventually sat by me. We talked through class & walked home together. We were both letting the other lead & ended up on the wrong side of campus from where we each lived ❤️ Married almost 11 years now!
@garnett_nicole The heartbreak is real. But I keep reminding myself we could save ourselves the pain by not writing and putting ourselves out there. But then what fun would that be? 😏 Here’s to more adventures together! 🥂👯♀️
4 texts that made me write 11-year-old me didn't know books like The Hobbit were ALLOWED to be written. When Bilbo got Sting? What a moment. I found HHGG on a spinner rack at school. (An "adult" book!) JP and Guardians at a local bookshop. I'm so grateful for those adventures.
Do not discredit the power of incubation during the creative process. The creative unconscious is always hard at work, solving problems. All we need to provide is time and space. The creative crockpot wants to cook…Let it simmer on low!
Well, it's official I will never ever again experience my FIRST time listening to the #THETORTUEDPOETSDEPARTMENT ever again. Now to grieve the leaving the stage of: discovery But evolve to the stage of: obsession. Hmmm, which song will be first to play on repeat?
@kidlitjenny Sending you hugs. I’m so sorry to hear this, but unfortunately it happens. It’s hard to get people to participate in book readings. I’ve had quite a few no shows. You can only do so much. Keep your head up high. You have a wonderful book! It’s their loss!
@kidlitjenny Thank you for sharing. It’s awful but, sadly, it’s not the first time I’ve heard authors willing to be candid about this happening. Another part of being a writer we need to be prepared for. With each book may you become better known so you may laugh about it one day.
Jason Reynolds' thoughts on the current book bans speaks volumes,"As adults we want children to be better than we are, and in order to do so, they must have the information that we did not have. So to stop that information, really makes us all hypocrites." #FReadom
