For anyone in need of a little laugh:

This morning I sat on the couch having coffee, my dog next to me. But I had to run upstairs to get something so I got up quickly and tossed the blanket off my lap. This is how I found my dog when I came back down.

If I didn't have to pay for all the books I buy for my school library, what a dream that would be. Instead, I push right up to the edge of my budget every year and still can't buy everything I need.
I've seen a few people mention (one to me) others before and now today that libraries are advocating free stuff/not sales for the author.
Libraries don't acquire books by magic. They buy copies with money. It can be hundreds/thousands of sales. People pay taxes to use the library. Nothing is free.

First 4 beats have been laid down. Only 11 to go.

I love this workbook (knew I would) and I use it in conjunction with Save the Cat and Story Genius.

What’s in your writing tool kit?

I don’t remember who I was talking to about this but I shared that my teen doesn’t like to read. Not a bookworm at all….but wait, she just shared that she LOVES (her word) to analyze texts. She loves looking for symbolism, etc.

That’s a win in my column!

AABB stands with our trans members, friends, colleagues, heroes, and the countless trans Americans who will be affected by this needlessly cruel Executive Order from the Trump Administration.

We are proud to do so alongside so many of our comrades in the fight against book bans.

For those that maybe need a little joy…for reasons… @libro.fm is having a romance audiobook sale. Lots of good titles. I…probably bought too many. 😬

To illustrators posting videos of their art process: Pls use #ArtProcessVideo tag when you post? Looking for some to feature in my Uplift feed. Add #KidLitArt if they are appropriate for children's books.

That hustle life vibe is out. But if you’re being super productive with soul and purpose replenishing activities, that’s in.

This weekend I:
- Worked in the @lkbfstorytellers.bsky.social marketing strategy
- worked on the LKBF auction content
- wrote a picture book
- read a new book
