What am I missing by not having a profile on the pretty blue place? Did an alternate literary community sphere actually end up taking off there? My security software keeps flagging it as unsafe, so I'm still dragging my feet on creating a profile over there.

Look at this tiny cuteness!
I have a 3" hive to show readers when showing them THEY WORK: HONEY BEES, NATURE'S POLLINATORS.
I love having fun visuals for visits and book signings. I haven't decided if I'll paint it or not.

This year I'll get to share amazing books. I'm so exited for spring, when I'll get to visit libraries and schools to talk about hard working pollinators.
Then in July, lift-the-flap lovers will get to BE the paleontologists as they hunt for dino bones.

Day 4. A little frustrated because I spent an hour on this eye and then realized, upon further inspection... it's too small for the face. It's actually an OK size for any other pony but Buttons had enormous Bambi eyes and to do justice to them definitely requires a repaint! π

When your family asks, βHowβs the writing going?β
- distribute the first three chapters, query, and discussion questions
- tell them youβre stuck on a character death and could they help you research how to write an authentic murder?
- produce their diary and begin reading aloud
