I’m reading the amazing Prairie Lotus by Linda Sue Park. I selected for the historical fiction I needed for my MLIS children’s literature class. ❤️

I’m in my first semester of my degree to become a school librarian and just wanted to say that if anyone out there is considering becoming a librarian or archivist, I am loving my Masters of Library and Information Science degree program with University of Maryland!

I’m a little delayed here, but thank you to Scribente Maternum for publishing my humor poem, “The Break-up.” Hope it brings you a smile! scribentematernum.substack.com/p/the-break-up

After a 6-month hiatus, I’m back! Today I revived an old linoleum block and printed to make some greeting cards for friends.

I have such fond memories of #PippiLongstalking, movies, but when I went back to preview them for my kids, I realized the stereotypes and racist word choice/views, plus Pippi playing with her gun makes it not the fun, wholesome, imaginative movie of my memory. Someone please remake this story!

Thanks to @sabrinawritesnh.bsky.social for coming up with this #Spooky #Horror #KidLit prompt! I have never tried writing anything from this genre, but was inspired to give it a try.
Hey #KidLit community (esp #horror writers):
I had an idea for a project to keep my creative juices (ew) flowing. Then I thought it would be even more fun with friends!
Please share to spread the word & consider joining me this Sunday for the inaugural #KidLitSundayScaries!

I want this time to be about giving thanks, no matter what else is happening. We still have a lot to be thankful for. I plan to write down one thing I am thankful for each day for the rest of this month and will share it with my kids and encourage them to do the same. Who's with me?

@sabrinawritesnh.bsky.social @jess-a-roux.bsky.social I thought of you when I saw this!
My WIP is a ghost story set in a Broadway theater, and I'm finding @timwaggoner.bsky.social's WRITING IN THE DARK workbook to be a fantastic resource. I read a little, write a little, read a little, write some more. So many great exercises to prompt out-of-the-box thinking.
