Be sure to tune in for MSWL coming soon! It’s a great opportunity to find the agents/editors you should query!

Snowed and iced in. A record snow fell in Kentucky! We don’t have enough snow and ice to be well prepared!

My heart goes out to LA county. Prayers for all and for the brave souls fighting those fires!

Hey, authors! I’m curious about something with indie authors. I’m indie and traditional hybrid. And I’m also a proofreader. Do most of you guys use a proofreader? Do you think 1000 words free is enough for a proofreader to offer. I want to step up my game! You can help! TIA! Photo of my partners.

Do you ever hit writer’s block? Here’s an assignment. Write 200 words about any single word that you choose randomly from a dictionary. Only give yourself one hour! No rules other than using the word somehow. It might get you brain back in gear.

Colleen Hoover is such a popular author with our teens that I spent a beautiful porch day reading one of her romances. She’s a wonderful writer who pulls you in with some things kids are afraid to discuss sometimes. It reminds me of how sophisticated many of our teens are. Writers, be aware!

I’m working on a freelance project that I love so much it’s making me question everything!!! I’ve done many and most haven’t even needed edits. Do you ever get more anxious about one where you love the message of the ms?

Important question: Do you have a season when your writing flows best? I’m not sure why, but winter seems to be my best. I think it’s because I have fewer distractions except at the holidays. What about you #kidlit writers?

My header makes me sad now! It featured my two dogs and bearded dragon. My two little dogs have been replaced by enormous lap dogs. Love them but it sure is different. What size dog do you love best? Why?

I’m excited to be on this new platform and eager to connect with authors, teachers, librarians, and readers. My favorite part of writing is seeing my books in the hands of kids!
