The house is unvacuumed and the world is burning, but I've managed to cut 5,000 words off my MG novel. How to celebrate? #writerslife #kidlit #amrevising #writingcommunity

It’s getting chilly which means the end of the year is coming—which also means the end of my exhibit @carlemuseum.bsky.social ! Make your November (or early Dec) plans to see it NOW because it goes down as soon as 2026 arrives!
Catch the show while you can:

And this whopping new $100K fee is on top of the many hundreds of dollars in application fees employers already pay to get help they can't find here.
My dad came to this country because we needed more doctors. He worked in the Bronx, in Detroit, in Houston where I was born, and then in Little Rock helping to start the Arkansas Cancer Research Center, still one of the to places for his particular specialty. (1/?)
