Almost New Year; not quite a new me.
It’s time to separate my #kidlit and #romance. IG will be for adult books, Bluesky for kid lit, and Twitter for everything me.

Recipe for an Author
1 c grit
3/4 c persistence, sifted
2 T grammatical rules
1 T raw talent
1/4 t patience
And a pinch of luck
Combine all ingredients carefully and bake for 30 minutes, or forever--whatever comes first.

Reading info fiction to 3rd grade and I’m mad that a publisher hasn’t made @brilawyer.bsky.social ‘s 🐸🕷️book! It’s brilliant and the voice is hilarious. Think Mel Fell x Norman Didn’t Do It.
#editors #publishers gimme it!! I can even imagine the @noveleffect.bsky.social soundscape.

Should a sensitivity reader be used if the author has personal experience with the subject matter?
When I include my experiences to fictional stories I want to be honest and authentic, but not cause harm if that makes sense.

My family gifted me writing resources for Christmas🤗
I don’t talk a lot about my writing to my family, but they see the effort I put in. I feel so loved and so supported right now!

Seriously considering putting undecorated, but lit Christmas trees in my writing room Jan 1. In my mind it’s a magical forest, but in reality it would probably look like a storage unit.

I was thinking there’s no better compliment than someone choosing to read your story again. Then, I started thinking of all the other “compliments” like:
Gifting your story
Recommending your story
Reviewing your story
What are some others?

Serious question… Do I need a self cleaning robot vacuum mop because it will make my life easier or is it because it’s on sale?
