Don't listen to what anyone tells you.
Middle Grades are not dead.
Kids will always be hungry
for healing, waiting
for gentle words to be
placed into hopeful hands.

Of course he is.
Felons gotta stick together.

One of the most beautiful sibling relationships you'll ever find in a read.

ICYMI, @mitumalhotra.bsky.social provided me with such a special opportunity on the Cynsations blog. Read her interview of me here: cynthialeitichsmith.com/2025/09/auth... #kidlit #versenovels

For me
that’s always the answer 🤷‍♀️.

Now more than ever.

When Woke = Truth. Liars will always suppress Truth.

Four-panel comic titled “Will Write For Chocolate” by Debbie Ridpath Ohi. A person sits behind a desk reading a manuscript while another person, Eliza, peeks from behind a couch. The reader says, “Eliza, I can’t critique your book with you lurking there.” Eliza replies, “OK, OK, I’m going to the kitchen to make lunch…” She disappears, and the reader continues taking notes. In the final panel, Eliza pops back up yelling, “I knew it! You hate my book, don’t you? Just come out & tell me! I can take it!!!”

Rejection and criticism are part of publishing process, before AND after publication. Work on developing a thick skin early on and you'll not only enjoy the journey more but also increase your chances of longterm success.

Inspiration
a gentle nudge forward
can go a long way to keep
the spark of creativity
Burning.
Protect your words
from the storm
out there.
Tend your own
little fire, knowing
others are glowing
all around
You.

Why would any country risk sending their athletes here?

Please remind me why we have a House & Senate?

More time … to play golf.

This is who WE are.

Even red Florida? I wonder how they’ll feel after their next big hurricane.

Why do they feel entitled to strip away the rights of other Americans? What gives them the desire to control others?

You know what the hero of this book is doing when we first meet him? Kicking over the headstones of complete strangers in the cemetery. I review a STRONG title from @katemessner.com #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2025/06/06/r...

This is what happens when people hire a grifter/ convicted felon who bankrupted multiple businesses.
