I over committed. 😆 I got all these new releases from the library before my kids brought from school and now I need to return them but I haven't read them yet- and they are due. So I brought them to the park to read while my kids play.

Not that anyone was worried, but my kids are ages 8, 10, 14 (left the 16-year-old at home). They prefer I sit off to the side while they play with their friends. 😆

🔎 I am CERTAIN this pertains to my publishing goals. Agents & Editors... here I come. 🔎 I got a REAL good feeling about my newest PB ms that I'm about to query. #amwriting #fortunecookie

I solemnly swear I’m using my yummy brain to bring a zombie manuscript back to life. #KidLitZombieWeek
It's great to feel like this manuscript has a chance again.

I love this!
Advice from me as a literary agent who’s also a writer:
If your CP or agent or editor is telling you to remove things from your own writing (that you know you wrote) because it sounds like AI, you might politely tell them to go pound sand.
AI is trained to sound like us, and it’s only getting better at it. But you are the only one with your voice. Treasure it. Keep it sacred (with all the em dashes and metaphors), no matter what anyone tells you to do.

I have loved watching your journey and I'm requesting this for my library. I can't wait to get a copy. Congratulations on your book birthday!!!!
Today's the day.
The dedication says it's for my boys.
But it's also for every single one of us who's ever been challenged by our identity and dream of the future. 💜👇

My highschool son: "Mom the last time Friday the 13th happened in the month of March was the last day of school for the year because covid started."
Wow, six years ago today we had no idea what was in store! #FridayThe13th

Spent a few hours writing in an art museum today to remind me of the perseverance it takes to be a master of one's craft.

I NEED to know. What does your tooth fairy bring? Mine? Usually just a dollar.

Does this happen at elementary schools in your area?
At the beginning of the school year, a teacher will send home a brown paper bag and the child will put three things in the bag that represent them to share with the classes as a 'get to know you' activity.

Food for thought:
Are you enjoying the chase or are you just obsessed with a romanticized result?
If you’re fixated on the outcome but miserable in the process… what are you really doing?
Ask yourself: if I never get the desired result, is the chase enough to make me happy.
