A rural 4-Her brings a triceratops to the county fair. As 15-year-old Steve trains the dinosaur to lead, pose, and enjoy baths, he fights militant Creationists and gains new BIPOC friends from the city. He also has to clean out lots of poop. #YA #CON #F #JoyPit

I read through the first chapters of a novel I wrote a couple years ago. Boring! I love the plot and the main character though, so I'm scheming about ways to get rid of those (yawn) opening chapters. #writerscommunity #amediting

@ToryKuzetova Writing is a craft that takes time and practice to develop. Frequent reading and writing, past experiences and personal pain, creativity, and persistence all factor into each writer’s art. Genetics has very little to do with it.

Dear writers, poets and authors #WritingCommunity In your opinion, can poetic talent be inherited or can absolutely anyone become a poet? Your opinion is very interesting, I wish you all a great day.

@theislandwriter I’m catching up on my edits too. It’s been a busy week, but I’ve had a couple good days.

Currently behind on edits, late to everything & SO unorganized 😵‍💫 BUT, I found a quiet zen-zone to get a few hours of serious FLOW! Cheers ☕️ to all the writers trying to make deadlines out there— We got this. #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying #kidlit #pb #mg #author

@pandaaze Thanks! It was fun to write.

@MarkJensen93 I love your idea! It sounds fun & funny.

@theislandwriter Very nice premise. I'm an avid Science Friday listener, and the news about the reefs is not good. 🐠🐟🐡

@AprilBerryBooks Oh I love this. You can learn a lot about your parents while hiking with them. (Speaking from experience) 😉

HIKE x HURRY UP Are we there yet? While hiking with mom, Nina and her sisters can’t help but wonder where they are going until… they notice the flowers, woodland critters and natural beauty around them. Hiking is about the journey, not the destination. #PB #KidLitPit #nature

@pullen_claudine Ah-ha, a clever chicken and a mean dog. Nice premise!

THIS IS NOT MY HAT X ALF 🐥 wants to be the ONLY Pet. But, urgh, adorable, smelly, salivary, 🐶 stands in his way. So 🐥 hatches a cunning plan. 🐶 teaches 🐥 a lesson: ✨be careful what you wish for!✨ #KidLitPit #PB #POC

@Amandabadillo25 Hm... a weird bookshop owner and vampires. Oh my! 👀 😎

@kimharnes Nice stakes, your main character has a lot to handle!

After a nasty bite from grandma’s false teeth, 10-year-old Zeke is becoming a zombie. Now, not only must he search for answers before the transformation is complete, he must also save Copper Hills Retirement Home from whatever just escaped from the third floor. #MG #KidLitPit

@cosmicemilia1 I'm pitching tomorrow too. Here we go! 😃 @MarkJensen93

I am entering the #kidlitpit and #joypit contest on June 1st. And would love to read other pitches and offer encouragement! Could I ask you to do the same for me? This is my first attempt at these!

@virginia_fox28 Yep, I decided to pitch in both events tomorrow. I'm a little nervous.... @MarkJensen93
