Monday is for the hard calls.
Today I removed a sentence I loved because it was beautiful, yet wrong for the reader.
That’s part of being a professional.

Some days writing looks like typing.
Some days it looks like deleting the sentence you loved because it lied to the story.
Today was the second kind.

What happens if unicorns get the flu?
Now I’m imagining glitter sneezes, magic gone wrong, and a kingdom sparkling for days.
That’s how stories start.

Today I wrote a story where a pink axolotl tried to lead and fell into marshmallows.
That’s children’s stories, done right.

New year.
So many stories waiting to be written. ✨📚
I help turn children’s book ideas into playful, heart-filled stories made to be read out loud.
If a story has been tapping on your imagination, maybe this is the year it finally gets written. 💫

Getting kids to sit still for a story? Nearly impossible.
But give them a flashlight, a blanket fort, and suddenly they’re marathon readers. 📚✨
Sometimes it’s not the book, it’s the magic around it.

Why is it harder to get kids excited about books than to eat a veggie? You try the award-winners… Meanwhile, they’ll rewatch the same YouTube clip 47 times.
That’s why I write silly, magical stories that turn “meh” into “read it again!”

1. One mug of cocoa gone cold ☕
2. A notebook full of doodles that were supposed to be outlines 📚
3. Characters yelling louder than my playlist 🎶

Half of writing is… actually writing.
The other half? Staring out the window like a Victorian ghost until the plot makes sense. 👻📚

Went for a “screen-free, clear my head” walk… then saw ducks waddling + birds singing in a tree. Next thing I know I’m on my phone, furiously jotting story notes. 🌱📚 Head cleared? Nope. New story unlocked!

So true
I wish more people knew that the work doesn't end when you self publish your book. You feel like you've climbed Everest getting it all done, but then you have to hike back to base camp. Marketing your book is a whole other skillset than writing/illustrating.
