I ordered Seasons on the Farm by @chelseatornetto.bsky.social illustrated by Karen Bunting & chose "store pick-up" with a note that it's for @viviankirkfield.bsky.social book drive!
Looking forward to next year when I can donate my own book Dark Skies, which came about because of #50PreciousWords 😊

Spring is almost here, but it's still not too late to donate a book in honor of #50PreciousWords. I just called Toadstool Bookshop to ask what they needed, and the entire process took no more than 4 minutes. Thanks @viviankirkfield.bsky.social for an excuse to make a small difference this morning!
#50PreciousWords UPDATE! Toadstool Bookshop in Keene NH says there are only 25 books in the pile for the literacy nonprofit we are supporting this year, but we had 585 contest entries. Books are the best vehicle to spread the message of #kindness & #equality. toadbooks.com/store/2 (603) 352-8815.

#50preciouswords is of my favorite contests. This year, I was afraid I wouldn't have an entry, but inspiration struck! Coming in right at 50 words, I give you LOOK AT ME! A poem about independence and the love and support of parents.

Yes!! Definitely a sign. I love this PB manuscript! 🐦⬛❤️
I’m choosing to believe that this beautiful raven picture at our vacation rental is a sign that I shouldn’t give up on my Edgar Allen Poe PB.
It’s written in perfect trochaic octameter (!!!)
It’s funny and sweet and a tiny bit dark and creepy. And I really really hope it finds a home!

Had a great writing session yesterday! I think I hit the halfway mark where my hero loses everything. I used the Save the Cat method this time (usually a pantser), but it's still slow going. Just goes to show there's no secret formula other than just making time to write!

As an apprentice 🧙♂️, Aloff is always stuck gathering ingredients instead of casting spells. One day, he sees the chance to prove himself, but the spell goes awry! Now, he must find a heap of humility, a pinch of apology, and a cup of courage to own up to his mistake and set things right. #SkyPitch

A STONE SAT STILL x THEY CALL ME RIVER
A narrow boat. A summer's day. A whole new world to explore. What lives in the shallows? What rustles the reeds? Sights and sounds abound as we float DOWN THE RIVER, because placid and peaceful, swift and strong, the river flows on and on. #SkyPitch #L

I love to go to my library to write! It's so quiet and distraction free.
An easy way to support your public library is to make use of it—even if only to visit. We keep (anonymized) statistics not only on circulation totals but on attendance & visits and even on patron-staff interactions. Big numbers please trustees and municipal/county administrators. 📚
ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.
