Same but I’m genx. I remember the Christmas I got Where the Sidewalk Ends.

1. Plans to make friends with squirrels and crows
2. Spotting dust on every surface of office
3. Discovering again the beauty of fall leaves

First author event included a tour of the historical library and the secret room! Lots of things in store in this chapter of life!!! #authorsofbluesky #writingcommunity #library

“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”

—Madeleine L'Engle

I retire TOMORROW! 32 years in the education/library world. What a ride! I got cake and gifts from my friends at work. #library #writingcommunity #authors

Hope you’ll catch up with me on my November book tour! #booksky #writingcommunity

Shout out to my library sisters who talked up my book at #aasl. Being a librarian in #ohio has its benefits! #writingcommunity

IDK what people are hating on. The Life of a Showgirl is brilliant. Lyrics are a writer’s dream. I am moving and shaking. Already got my favorite lines. #taylorswift #thelifeofashowgirl #poetry

Had so much fun learning and finding community at @scbwi-ohionorth.bsky.social

Traveling for @scbwi-ohionorth.bsky.social and I just told my husband, “I spent all my cashflow on books.”

#PlotTober Day 2

This is a character-driven book based on a real event. I used archetypes to build my characters: the Fool, the Matriarch, and the Messiah. I love taking these templates and making them into living, breathing humans with the facts from primary sources. #writingcommunity

Love this!

Love the sound of this!

Thanks for hosting!

👋I’m excited to participate! I write for early readers to YA. I love to write about family & the truths of the 🌎.

My WIP is a HF YA about good trouble on the Underground Railroad. I used the Heroine’s Journey to plot it out, but it’s based on true events!

Some people have difficulty understanding that perspective is a person’s truth. So they believe that being a radical means violence, guns, and hate.

This is the radical left. We have a different perspective of what radicalism looks like.

A diagram to figure out if you really need a new book. Conclusion is that you DO need a new book. 😉

Of course I need a new book. #booksky
