When I'm working with #authors on children's books I'm super focused that I find it hard to work on personal art. Like this one it took me ages to finish haha, I'd draw a line every now and then 😊

#KidLitCritiqueDay was a good experience for me. I was lucky to win a very great insightful critique from @terriclemmons.bsky.social
She was wonderful and kind, and gave me her perspective to help improve my Story. Really grateful.
And thanks to @kidlitjenny.bsky.social for her time and efforts 😍😊

I have been part of many different communities during the last 10 years, but I have never seen a community that's more welcoming, beautiful, kind and humble than the #kidlit community, I'm genuinely impressed and I feel warm around all these sweet people.

Having a wish to taste a fish is achievable. But going on a fishing trip with a bear + big hunger & very little patience = a fishy disaster.
In Rush's Fishy Day, Rush, a little boy, realized that fishing was just another word for waiting, so he had to find ways to make it fun. #SkyPitch #L #kidlit🎣

If you have picture book agents or unagented #KidLit authors following you on other platforms, I encourage you to let them know about #SkyPitch. Let's help show them that Bluesky is a GREAT place for a picture book pitch party! Read @boringstorybook.com's post below for more info.

Everytime I revised, I felt different ways about my story, either I wasn't satisfied or unsure. but each time the story gets better, now I reached the point where I'm so satisfied and I was thinking even if no agent took it, I'm so proud and excited to not give up on it and self publish it.
