I can't believe it! I just had my #scbwiny26 manuscript consultation, and I didn't have a panic attack! That has happened exactly NEVER BEFORE.

I'm feeling like bottled lightning right now.😭

If you see me sitting alone in the back of a room, no need to swoop in and rescue me, I'm in my safe spot. 🤗

Anyone else have a #KidLit #WritingConference #self-care plan this weekend?

Unpacking My Self-Care Plan (And a Pink Plastic Suitcase)
Just one more sleep until the start of my nightmare-dream conference! But at least I’ve slept a little better the last few days than I normally do leading up to such a big stressor. One thing…

Major Hubble to Ground Control: Due to an unexpected abnormality (possibly gravity,) my destination has transitioned from ‘The Moon’ to… the sandbox. I will claim this uncharted territory for hamster-kind. Send pellets.

Final packing for NYC.

Looking forward to meeting up w/ @jpchanda.bsky.social @gingerninja.bsky.social @brianlarossa.com and others.

Hope to see some of you at #scbwiNY26! I am bringing my one (1) copy of I'M BUSY, if anyone wants to take a peek. 😁

A person with green glasses peers over an open picture book titled “I’M BUSY,” holding it up in front of their face so only their eyes are visible. The open book shows the title on the right page and the names Michael Ian Black and Debbie Ridpath Ohi on the left page, with illustrated characters and scattered papers. The background is orange with the word “busy” repeated in white outlined text.
