Got a huge board & a ton of post-it's to pull my stories off a screen & into the real world (hoping it helps me see where they need work by making them tangible). #amwriting
Will be spending the rest of the week like this.

Walking down the hall at work when I caught whiff of a '90s generic otter-pop, pink flavor. 🤔
I like to call that a smemory.

Ugh, @BrianLies, The Rough Patch is so good. 🫠
One of my other faves is Esme Shapiro, but I don't think she has an account here. You HAVE to check out her eccentric, surreal storylines paired with her retro-esque, whimsical illustrations!

Criterion is playing Down with Love this month. I love this movie so much, a fantastic tribute to 60s rom coms. Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger are so good and the costumes are incredible.

My MC's favorite dish would probably be a mug cuz it has a handle so you don't have to touch hot things 😜. Jk iykyk
But really, my MC's fave dish is candy, but she has to go through some questionable snacks to figure that out! 🤫 #PBParty

I'm loving the #PBParty excitement!
We received 1016 entries. The judges & I can't wait to read them. Stay tuned for tips & teasers.
What is your main character's favorite dish or sweet treat? Even if it isn't in the PB, it can help you get to know them better.
