@MindyAlyseWeiss Hello #PBParty goers! 👋I'm an author/illustrator from Michigan, and I entered a Character-Driven story and dummy. So fun to see where everyone is from and what work is happening. Good luck everyone, and thank you judges!

What an amazing PB day, #PBParty! Someone said it felt like a holiday where we should celebrate with cupcakes. That sounds great to me! 🧁🧁🧁
What's your MC's favorite dish or sweet treat? Even if it isn't in your book, it can help you get to know your character better.
English
@MindyAlyseWeiss Acorns and Blackberries 🐿️ But I'm sure my MC wouldn't turn down a cupcake if it was offered 😂

A little bunny died in our front lawn so I had Ken bury it and gave it a little funeral. I've been sad about this so I made the bunny a little grave. I am really not made for this world.

Thank you to @DowPhumiruk for a fantastic webinar on Powerful Portfolios. It was so encouraging and generous to see Dow's early work and to see how she has grown. Gives me hope. #KidsBookIllustration #StillAtIt #Illumination #PortfolioTips @SCBWI @SCBWIEastPA

@MindyAlyseWeiss So sorry Mindy! 💔 Such a young kitty! Big hugs to you and your family.

I'm so grateful to have #PBParty & the amazing kidlit community--they help me through tough days.
Our sweet 5 year old cat ate less & less daily for ~ 3 weeks. We recently found out she has feline leukemia & an infection.
We lost her yesterday, due to a kidney infection. 😭

@TeresaRobeson @MindyAlyseWeiss @Matt_Tesoriero @GDavisBooks @SylviaiChen @SarafinaDesign @ProfessorAixa @mar_illustrates Yes, it was one of the live-critiqued ones, so the dummy was part of the Greenwillow session, for all to see. I revisited my color palette afterwards, thanks to Sylvie LeFloch's comments. :)

@karamarsee @MindyAlyseWeiss @Matt_Tesoriero @GDavisBooks @SylviaiChen @SarafinaDesign @ProfessorAixa @mar_illustrates Was that the ms you had critiqued, Kara? We don't look at any of them; we just shuttle them from attendees to faculty and back. In fact, our brilliant ARA recently set up an automated system and we no longer have to handle the shuttling! I'm so glad you got good feedback! 💖

@Scarbrough_Art I found my local writing group after participating in a SCBWI workshop. And I also have one in Storyteller Academy. I have a 3rd one with illustrator friends. I also think 12x12 is a great resource for finding CPs

@jpuglow @MindyAlyseWeiss Lol, yes, a little chocolate does wonders. That and a good shoulder to cry on. And then focusing on what I love, and not what I've missed out on.

Congrats to the #PBParty finalists...& everyone who entered. Putting yourself out there & working on your craft makes you all HUGE winners. 🎉
Hugs to everyone hurting. What do you do when a no (or not yet) gets you down?
Lets lift each other up with helpful tips! 🫂
English
@VaishaliKGrover @MindyAlyseWeiss Yes!!! I totally agree. Talking a walk in the woods is such a great way to reset.
English
@MindyAlyseWeiss Also, if you can get a hug that's great too! Or pet a critter. Their healing capacity knows no bounds.
If you can grab 10 mins to be outside among trees and the green etc. - that's restorative too and scientifically backed.
