An actual diary entry from when I was 8 yrs old: "My life's a lot better now. I know cursive."

I hate this

My toxic trait is I like to buy celery and never use it.

Ugh. Today sucked. And it's the 12th. 😓 Bad things can also come when you least expect it. 😥 Not ready to share, but f*** cancer. 💔 I normally do a #PB critique giveaway on the 12th of each month, but I'm not in the right head space. Check back soon. Big hugs, #kidlit XO

@tonnyef Wonderful!

@jesssicawatts Awesome! Thanks for the opportunity! I’ll send you a message this evening!

@christinevz 😆😆

@jesssicawatts That's so funny.

I declare Pluto a planet again.

@Jessicawhippl17 Nope.

Would you submit to a literary magazine if you knew its images were AI generated?

This weekend! Still some spots left if you want to hear me nerd out about contracts.

I will open again to queries on the 7th. I think I want to see more witches in my inbox. I always wanted a coven. THE SECRET CIRCLE and THE CRAFT made me think I would just find one in high school, and I was let down. #mswl

@StephDRondeau That’s amazing

My 5 yo went to a birthday party this weekend where the birthday boy chose what to give out for party favors. He chose plungers. Yes, real toilet plungers. Cue 18 4 and 5 year olds running around with plungers like they’re the world’s best toy. This child is an icon.

Grateful for the recognition my debut #pb is getting...and more on the way yet to be announced!

@janycampana Thank you!

It’s the first day of fall, y’all (and my wedding anniversary)! And your cue to start watching Over the Garden Wall
