@JThomasABC @TheDirigible @_AlisonManning I love this! And I know my students would get a kick out of it

When life gets hairy here on Earth, I like to escape for a bit into the poetry skies in @TheDirigible. Look way, way up with this gem by @_AlisonManning. 🌖

@PointsTangent No, but this looks adorable and right up my alley. I have to check it out!

The cuteness of the latest episode of LITTLE RABBIT AND THE BIG BAD LEOPARD has me over the moon 🥹 Perhaps I've just become a sucker for all things small & adorable in my old age, but this was #cuteness overload for me 🥰🥰🥰 Anyone else reading this #webcomic? #littlerabbitandthebigbadleopard

@jaime_berry3 Best advice ever

Today I got very upset. My 9 year old was w me and he said, “Take a deep breath and think of how lucky you are to have a dog”. And you know, it totally helped!

The Seminole pumpkins are blossoming!

@StorinoDana I feel so much better now 🤣

I think I'm not smart enough for Saran Wrap

Miriam is so talented and insightful. She was my Pitch Wars mentor and her feedback and critiques have helped me so much on my writing journey. Definitely worth entering, #WritingCommunity ! #amwriting #querying

@JoHackl We would love that! It would be such a great reading kick-off at the beginning of the year. 🥰

@jaimeformato I’d happily do it at the beginning of the year, too. I’ll bet other authors would as well. Wishing you a terrific summer!

To my new #teachers on a budget, please know that you don't need to throw an expensive EOY celebration for it to be special. There's a lot of pressure, esp. online, to do these elaborate parties, but I promise your kids can have a blast on the cheap! Some ideas my kids loved:

What did I just find in today's comic book research? 😆Came across NOT BRAND ECHH, basically a Marvel parody series from the late '60s. Tagline: Who SAYS a comic book has to be good? LOL, can we get a reboot?
