Fable has mad skills as a cucumber pointer. A must-have helper in the chaos garden when Greek salad is on the menu!

I love this wildly productive time when the garden is going mad with flowers and fruit ... and I'm flinging out words like zucchini! #writingcommunity #kidlit #amquerying

Smoky skies over Puck's head. Horses are now inside with hay, and I'm on my computer. No plum picking for now.

Not sure whether to pick that flower or worship it ... Strange alien communication? Making my tinfoil hat now! (okay, anything to avoid working on this next chapter.) 😉🤣😬👽#wip #writingcommunity

Berry, Destroyer of Worlds, with his evil genius sister, Honey. They've taken out one pod and one umbrella and are now ready for breakfast. It's a good day. #WIP #BerryDestroyerofWorlds #kidlit #amquerying

Every bloom reminds me to pray for nurses. It's a tough profession. Stay safe, keep burnout away, my colleagues! Thankful for a wonderful class of nursing students who gifted me this lovely plant when they graduated a few years ago. #nursing #caregivers #nursesky

Yup. Impostor syndrome doesn't care about any past success ... it's kind of like that Jack-in-Box pop up that scares the heck out of kids the first 101 times they play with it. Then, it doesn't. You just sort of realize it's going to happen! And carry on. 😄

Berry is in a mood. Berry is fueling the energy of a character who is pushing everyone away with his chaotic frustration at LIMITS! A whole acre of wooded, bushy, goaty bliss, but he is preferring to bash things where I can note his displeasure. Berry would like to be driving the tractor.

Were you a horse book addict growing up? All it took was a cover pic of a pony to get my attention! The Black Stallion series, Jill pony series, all the Pullein-Thompson stories ... even Trixie Beldon and Honey Wheeler had horses! Walter Farley ... I'm not worthy. #kidlit #writingcommunity #booksky

It is strangely pleasant to be writing about winter snow and Christmas on this gorgeous spring day! I get to have minibreaks outside with the horses and watch them LOVING the new grass! Keep being nature inspired, Creatives! #writingcommunity #frostpony #kidlit #wip

Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls. Story-tellers and poets ... their words make the souls of their readers stronger, brighter, deeper.”
