Hi, #kidlit bluesky community! I’m Christine!

I love to write whimsical and lyrical #BB & #PB, full of heart and musicality.

🎶 I also love singing karaoke — some of my favorite songs include My Immortal, Lights, Come What May, & We Belong.

What is your favorite karaoke song?

Wow~ it's been a minute since I've been back to bsky and I'm so happy to see hashtags work now! How has everyone been doing with the #growyourwriting challenge? I'm in the midst of a revision retreat! I have one spread left I'm puzzling out before I can send my latest #pb out for #critiques!

What one word encapsulates your goals to #GrowYourWriting in 2024?

For me, it is “Re-envision.”

Several of my existing #PB stories are going through editorial or revision rounds this year. As for new projects, I'd like to explore different genres and formats!
