We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?

One of my fave plotting methods is the Sticky Note method that I learned at a workshop taught by David Macinnis Gill. I've used it for every novel that sold & now there's a craft book about it! I've tweaked the method to work for me (a pantster), but I swear by it! www.stickynoteplot.com/snpbp

A writer’s vibe may be calm and serene on the outside. We think up stories. We write words. But on the inside our minds are swirling all the time, creating a universe, building a giant puzzle, being a puppet master. It’s a fun, sneaky life! #mglit #kidlit #writingcommunity

If you write MG, you should know of Greg Pattridge and his blog Always in the Middle, with a “Marvelous Middle Grade Monday” review compilation. Reading those reviews provides a great overview of the current market and can inform mentor text and comp title lists. gpattridge.com/2024/11/18/m...

Sometimes I get to do author-ly type things and the Rochester Children’s Book Fest was one of the best. 🥰 Wish I could chat about stories with readers every day! ✨📚

Writer friends! If you're having a tough time focusing on your novel right now, try doing some writing off-draft, in a separate document. Here are three Small Assignments you can try to keep working, even when it's hard to focus: 1/4

Pouring my heart and soul into this manuscript is one thing. Sifting out a few sentences that describe it for a longline or query? That’s next level brain-bending. #writingcommunity

Rereading my manuscript today and thinking of new ways to get my characters into trouble. Send them to a forbidden, misty, underworld market? Okay. 🤷♀️ Lock them inside with Alice in Wonderland-inspired creatures? Absolutely. 💫
