It's never a bad time to send a copy of THE CONSTITUTION DECODED to a child or senator in your life.

Congratulations on the launch of Fairy Tale Road, @christinafarley.bsky.social!!! Love romcoms and I can't wait to read it!
Today Fairy Tale Road is out in the world! This is my first romcom and I had a blast creating it in the choose-your-own-adventure style. Did you read those books as a kid? I always loved them but thought we adults need to have a little fun too, right? So I did!

Thank YOU, Sheila! It's SUCH an honor that Six Feet Below Zero won the 2024 Mark Twain Readers Award. Meeting and chatting with all the amazing Missouri school librarians @maslonline.bsky.social these past couple of days, and accepting the award tonight—there's no place I would have rather been!

In an effort to upgrade my presentations from Power Point, I tried learning Prezi. 🤣 What a disaster THAT was! Now I'm on to Canva, which is going much better, but still, it's step by step and slow progress. I need an EASY button!

Working on revisions for a MG while in the midst of home renovations/repairs and planning our daughter's wedding, and helping with family moves, and holiday traveling. And, yeah, the revision is a struggle. #kidlitchat
TOPIC: It's quarterly check-in time at #kidlitchat! Four times a year, we share what we've been up to (career-wise) for the past three months, and look ahead to the next three. (And just hanging in there totally counts!)

Interesting.
How the foundation of Bluesky was built is so crucial for the future of social — so much so that @rmac.bsky.social & I wrote a whole chapter about it in our book. From day 1, @jay.bsky.team was insistent on independence, a decision that was extraordinarily prescient. (1/2)

Hubby just pointed out my overly-generous use of the word “we” when I list household tasks: “WE need to remember to move the garage fridge to the curb for pickup tonight.” Or,“The power-washers come tomorrow. When should WE move everything off the patio?” 🤷♀️ Doesn’t moral support count for anything?
