@markeology Annika’s reminded me of it right away. 🥰

@LCStraut Oh wow, that's gorgeous

Thought it'd be fun to do a side-by-side comparison of one of my drawings vs. one of Annika's. She was 10 when she did hers. I was a little shy of my 50th birthday when I did mine. That's why mine is so much better, obviously.

@rrreadsbooks What really did me in was the bunnies on the trampoline. I very much wanted that to be genuine haha.

I miss when you’d see a picture of something really cool online and didn’t have to wonder if it was AI generated

@KipAuthor It’s on Aurora road in Melbourne! In a storage unit type place. Hit me up when you need a beta reader. 😊a

@LCStraut I’ve not been to Nu2U. Where is it? I love Florida history as well. I have one short story set in 1850s Tampa area. The novel I’m starting will be set (mostly) in 1930s Brevard County.

My current book project is set in my (new) hometown area. Yesterday, I went to the local library and a very enthusiastic librarian showed me to their “Florida History Collection” and even pulled relevant books from the main stacks for me 🙂 #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity

I just got to thinking about my old Mars #MG draft from 3 years ago! I took a peek, and I suddenly got flooded with memories of the characters and the scenery. After 3 years, I'm ready to go back to Mars and have some fun. I'm so grateful the muses have been active here! 🧡

The kitten is developing nicely into a writing assistant. She knows if she sleeps here, I will have to sit and edit out all the redundancies in this manuscript. I’m bored, but I’m also her hostage, so I’ve no choice. Thanks for the help, Alice.

@REstepLit I would read

Hear me out: the crucible retelling.

With queries open, here is a thread of things I really desperately want to see. Ill update this sporadically so check back!

Well, I was editing my #MG #fantasy with plans to add to it, but actually cut it down further to 16,000! oops. But the story is good! I am just going to develop a couple of characters that fell a little flat (maybe that will add a little, too) and then call it a solid draft!🤞

@RWeberWrites Trudging thru editing the muddy middle myself! It’s not the best but I’m glad it’s there so I can edit it haha. Better than nothing for sure! You can do it! you can do it!

I added 358 new words to my WIP, and I'm finally feeling a little better about the muddy middle. I've got a long way to go, but something is better than nothing. 💪 #WritingCommunity #writers #authors #amwritingfantasy #kidlit

@madison_cowsert @escherrington @PitMup Love this!

@PitMup Every Thursday, they drink. Every Thursday, they lie. Last Thursday, Erin disappeared. ...and the street hasn't been quiet since. 🍷Moms Who Wine is a domestic thriller 🍷 #MupPit #Q #A #T #WF

@little_press Thank you so much for saying that. I think less is more sometimes, especially in building up the reading of our middle grade kids!

@LCStraut MG is different now. Don’t overdue it. A lower word count is appreciated.

I have gotten back into editing my #MG #fantasy but it is only 22,000 words. I literally have never written TOO LITTLE of something. I know it needs to be more... but do we think I can do this without adding any bloat? I'm so happy with the story how it sits so far!

Small signs of life after the Florida freeze.

@LoveGrowingVeg Bud bunnies broke into my fence this week and ate 200 carrot tops. Sorry about your lavender!

I don’t know or care about Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl (even though my timeline appears to be just about this) but I have real bad bunnies here. They’ve got into my cages protecting my lavender and eaten the lot to ground level 😡 you’d think lavender would be unappetising but no, maybe a delicacy 😆

@Jessicawhippl17 Agree 100%

I asked my daughters if cat paws were cuter than dog paws and it was unanimous: Cat paws are cuter. (We have a cat. Thought it fair to reveal that bias.)
