🧹 EARLY MAGIC - When a cocksure witch loses her magic to a cunning daemon, she hatches a plan to steal it back—though it means betraying a grieving classmate who’s only just discovered the world of magic.

When I was born I received a welcome card from Jimmy Carter. Now that he has died, I feel a certain part of America's humanity and decency has gone with him. I hope I'm wrong. I hope the world he worked toward is one we will realize one day.

I love researching for writing a novel. A thin thread can lead to many strange and wonderful spiders.

Been churning out 1500 words a day and just reached 20K in my new middle grade book draft. The bad news: I have big plot holes coming up. Don't know whether I can tap dance across this chasm, but dammit, I'm gonna try.

Really disappointed to see people across the social platforms I follow dunking on someone, regardless of their faults or whether they had family, being murdered.

I'm doing 1500 words a day on the 2.0 version of the new book. If you haven't tried an accountability partner, it's so helpful to create a mental deadline and push to reach the finish.

Just read that Twitter asserts it owns all accounts and they allow people to use them. Is there any better reason to quit that dumpster fire of a social platform?

TOPIC: Tonight, we're thanking those individuals who have meant the most to us in our careers: a mentor, a critique partner, a reader who wrote a glowing review, a professor who pushed us to succeed, a spouse who never stopped believing, or... you tell us! #kidlitchat

It's getting hard to publish #mglit these days. If you look industry publications, there's hardly any sales for it each week. That's due to all kinds of things: a past glut of middle grade and changes in how they're sold, fewer editors, and the age-old screen vs. book issue with readers. And more.
