Another day another poem not getting any love in a poetry contest

I wrote 1500 words today and I feel victorious. I’ve battled various levels of brain fog, fatigue, depression and anxiety all year and today I just feel calm and happy. Whew.

The #BeSMART campaign promotes secure gun storage to prevent kids under 18 and other unauthorized users from accessing guns. By having conversations about secure gun storage with family, friends, & community members, we can ALL help reduce suicide and unintentional shootings by children and teens.

Our Executive Director Sarah Baker attended NCTE last week and documented her time there 📚📸

Welcome friends. Nice to be with you all again!

This…

Today is the 11th anniversary of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary.

There have been 656 mass shootings and 1,685 kids killed by guns since last year’s anniversary.

How many more years must go by before we pass the gun safety laws that will ensure it never happens again?

Just sent 3 manuscripts out - I’m feeling scared & brave & nervous & happy all mixed up!!! 🤩😫🤓😳🥳🫢🫨😻

Ok going to my first #NCTE tomorrow- wish me luck and say if you see me looking lost!!

Spent the afternoon at Hawk Mountain recharging my raptor batteries.
