Whipped up a little #kidlitchucklechallenge story today! You’ve got a couple hours left to do so too.

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. 🍷

This is a vision board for a picture book MS of mine.

👻🎃Happy Halloween🎃👻

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.

Who me? Funny? Okay! I'm excited that my #kidlitchucklechallenge story is a winner. ON THE HAUNT FOR PANTS was a fun one to write!

Wow. An honorable mention as a "queen of creativity" for my #SpringFlingKidlit story!

I tip my crown to all the winners. 👑

I had submitted my #SpringFlingKidlit entry just as April showers turned into snowflakes out my window. And now it’s back to ☀️! Oh, spring….

I was so impressed with the incredible beauty so many of you weave into just #50PreciousWords!

Here is my first go at this fun contest by @viviankirkfield.bsky.social

The kid judges are going to have a blast! …I submitted my entry today.

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 just registered for the #SCBWI Marvelous Midwest Conference this April in Davenport, Iowa. It will be my 1st #kidlit conference. Who else is going? www.scbwi.org/events/marve...

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!
