Writing and the #kidlit community saved me when my grief (losing my sister) was so heavy I couldn’t leave my bed. But you know what I could do from bed? WRITE. So I did. LOTS of people gave their time to teach me and pull me up the ladder. Now, it’s my turn! LET’S DO THIS!

This one means a lot…. To be a #50PreciousWords winner and with a piece about my late sister… I need to process this one, but I’m so grateful. This one was personal. As close to the heart as you can get. Thanks to the judges for seeing me. 🤎🤎🤎
