The image is a promotional graphic for Debbie Ridpath Ohi's directory of "Bluesky Lists." It features a blue and white color scheme with cartoon illustrations of people and books. The title "Bluesky LISTS" is prominently displayed in the center. Below the title is a URL in white text: "https://debbieohi.link/bluesky-lists" and a QR code on the right side. A list of categories is provided, including K-12 Educators & Librarians, KidLit/YA Publishers, Indie bookstores & booksellers, and several others related to children's literature. Users are instructed to click on the "About" tab in Bluesky to browse a list of users in each category. The overall design is playful and informative, aimed at connecting individuals in the children's book community.

I did it! Entry for PBParty2024 completed. And now we wait 😶 Thank-you @mindyalyseweiss.bsky.social and all the wonderful PBParty judges for your hard work, encouraging words, mirade of answered questions, and virtual hugs! Wishing all the participants the very best.

It's here!!! PBParty entries go live at midnight EST. Fingers and toes crossed for all of us 😊

Anyone else hold on tightly to characters or scenes that need to be cut from your book. The tough love of critique is so good and also hard to swallow.

This tracks for writing novels as well😂

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

Finding balance is hard. This year I am practicing being kind to myself by counting any "butt in chair" time as a win whether I accomplish a single sentence or over 1000 words.
