Good luck and stay strong 💪

My partner had cancer twice. Last year was her reoccurrence and she went through five rounds of chemo and five rounds of radiation.

She is slowly recovering and getting stronger every day — you will, too!!

Keep fighting

And adding a little shameless self-promotion, but if you want help with getting that project in shape or wrestling with your query letter or synopsis (or both!), feel free to reach out. www.alisonweisseditorial.com

Me too — and I worked on an automotive plant floor where the eff bomb was the noun, verb, and adjective in one sentence. 😳

I can't stress this enough. Being a great writer requires you being an enthusiastic reader. Read in your genre and out of it. (Yeah, even those kinds of books you swear aren't for you occassionally. You might be surprised.) Devour as much as you can.

Age verification. Black and white tv with six channels (one was a Canadian station) and our phone number began with two letters. 😳

Great NFL commercial!!

Wow Walker with a nice jump move

Seahawks tackling has been tremendous

Pat’s defenders are jumping routes, time for Seahawks to turn up field.

Job offer!!
I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July.

This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

I find the awards inspiring. Not that I’ll EVER win an award. Same as I’m inspired by the monks walking for peace but knowing I’ll never be a monk. Every writer and illustrator was in my position at one time and it’s motivating to see them achieve this kind of success. Congrats to all.

My MG did not get many requests for a full. I’ve recently worked with a phenomenal editor and feel the manuscript is ready for submission. Can I resubmit to agents I researched and seemed like a good fit, but passed the first time around?

Thank you @gregpincus.bsky.social and @bonnieadamson.com for hosting #kidlitchat week after week
👏👏👏👏👏

Yes, just came out this year. The writing is off the charts and laced with dry British humor.

I absolutely love mysteries. It’s what I write, read, and watch.

PSA

Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials on Netflix is phenomenal. Highly recommend.
#kidlitchat

Stunning!
#kidlitchat

#kidlitchat

Thanks, revisions can take some time, ya know 🤣🤣🤣🤣
#kidlitchat

My first goal is to finish my mystery and get it ready for submission and my second goal is to not have the same goal for 2027 🤦‍♂️
