Flying in just under the cutoff, my #50PreciousWords entry, Pelican Plunge, was inspired from this beach scene I captured last weekend.

#PB While M mutters 𝑚𝑚𝑚 while munching macaroni & P sings 𝑝𝑢ℎ-𝑝𝑢ℎ-𝑝𝑢ℎ while popping popcorn, C is quiet.
From A to Z, all of the letters find their sound– except C.
LOST AT C, he learns to follow his joy. With K & S, C finds a way to have not 1 sound, but 2! #P2Ppit #Q #Phonics

#PB Benny wants to put on an art show. But can he? He zips & zooms. He flits & flies.
When Benny’s energy buzzes out of control, he becomes a MOSQUITO IN A BURRITO! Tightly wrapped in a blanket, he quiets the buzz... & gets to doing what he loves: ART!

#kidlitchat A couple years ago, I reread my favorite book from my pre-teens. I wonder if anyone else has ever paired Christopher Pike with a Pinot noir. 🍷

I hope you all get a jumbo Reese's- or whatever your favorite candy is to sneak!
Here's my #Halloweensie entry- a teensy weensy Halloween story in 100 words or less using the words tiptoe, goblin and chill.

What a great 📚day! It started with an inspiring talk by @PatZMiller at @ArtLitLab. I made a couple new picture book writer friends there too. Then I crossed the street to go to the Grown-Up Book Fair to soak up the 80s/90s nostalgia and browse books from indie bookstores.

I have plenty of picture book ideas with a brilliant start. I can clearly visualize the characters, their world and their problem. But things usually get wishy washy when I try to come in for a landing. I'm interested to see how it goes working this muscle daily for #Storystorm.

I started my picture book writing adventure a little over a year ago. It’s fun to get little nudges now & then from people enjoying my stories. ☺️
The latest nudge: My story won an honorable mention in the 2023 Halloweensie writing contest!
