Vet visit with Banjo this morning. I suspect it is his teeth that are bothering him once again and causing him not to eat his usual amount.

I got my first ever 'fan email' the other day and it meant the world to me. I often feel like a very small fish in a very large ocean, so to hear that someone else has connected with my work is HUGE

Woke up to Banjo’s furious purring instead of distress meows this morning.
He’s eating some still, and the fact that he hopped up in bed on his own is a good sign that he feels better and his strength is coming back.

This little prince had a plate of kibble delivered to his chosen spot on the couch.
We’re home. Banjo is uncomfy and yelling about it so it’s safe to say he’s feeling better.

At the emergency vet with Banjo. He woke me up at 4:45am with low distress meows. He didn’t even fight going into the carrier. Something is very not right with my diabetic buddy 😭

It’s important to remember that, with trends in traditional publishing, everything runs 3 or so years behind. You have more flexibility with this in indie spaces but racing after trends is hard to do #kidlitchat

I don’t write to trends but I have noticed an uptick in characters that are necromancers which I feel ever so slightly smug about “predicting” even if I ended up going indie with my debut #kidlitchat
TOPIC: We just had a time change and, as always, times are changing, too. Do you keep an eye on trends? How do they inform how you work? And what trends are you noticing in the kidbook biz these days? #kidlitchat

I'm tossing the Forest Book.
Yes, it sounds dramatic (and it is a wee bit) - but even after all my time away and new fresh eyes, I realized that the emotional core is all wrong. I'm trying to internally process something that doesn't fit.

It's November! Did you write today? 👀
For me, writing looks a lot like sitting, journaling, and deep thinking with minimal typing since I'm diving into revision. It counts and I'm keeping track of 'Time Spent' versus words written.

Word counts aren't very impressive during the Revision stage - but I can *feel* my brain getting a real work out to untangle all these knots while putting the pieces together

If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone.

Why Did These Authors Have Their School Visit Canceled? They Were Talking About Their Book About Book Bans.
Country Club Elementary School in California's Bay Area canceled an author visit moments before it began. Why? It covered book bans.

For this revision of #TheForestBook I'm trying what worked well for the book I just finished - An intensive, chapter by chapter breakdown and outline for the entire book.
I have words from the 1st draft to reuse, but a lot is getting shuffled. Hopefully this helps me keep track of it all
