I’m always so delighted by Spring…until the ZOMBEES arrive!! Then I’m even more delighted. Enjoyed this scarily sweet PB by Justin Colon.

@PSUNNJ Thank you parents and alumni - everyone was so helpful!

Penn State Accepted Student Program Tonight 🦁🦁🦁 Thanks to Admissions for a great night!

@WriterRebeccaGL I hear you. So powerful Rebecca.

Most of my poetry is for young kids, but here's one for YA and teens from Paper Lanterns, an Irish lit journal: "THE SOUND OF YOUR SILENCE" featured in their Autumn 2025 issue. Please to enjoy... #poetry #YA #teenpoetry #poetrycommunity

@RyannJones117 @AndiChitty @LawyerBri @bydannikaufman @BetJett So excited for you! And looking forward to this funny (and important) book to be out in the world!

Yay! I mean I feel bad for accidentally turning that shopper into a witch, but it got me an Honorable Mention! Thanks @SusannaLHill for hosting. And yay to CPs @sarah3hetu and @JennaDaucunas!

Getting a little angsty in the latest issue of Paper Lanterns Lit with my YA poem “Word Problems” :)

@JonathanHumble Happy birthday and thank you for bringing all these poems to children!

Excited my STEM poem about important rules for busy new caterpillars won an honorable mention in @viviankirkfield #50Preciouswords contest! Yay for all the winners and writers.

@MindyAlyseWeiss Critiquing is obviously important, but the cheerleading, venting, support and friendship are the best!

What do you love most about your critique groups... & how did you find them, #PBParty? 🌟If enough of you are actively seeking groups, we can help put new ones together after the #PBParty finalists are announced. Let me know! Great critique groups are priceless. I love mine! 💖

@MindyAlyseWeiss Tell me more what you mean by this word "routine." Haha! I am in the market for some regular rhythm.

Share your daily writing routine, #PBParty (and PB creatives). 💖I try to write or revise daily (although I often miss that goal during PBParty) 💖I love writing when it's totally quiet (but miss my rescue pup's soft snores & grunts for belly rubs).

Excited for another year of webinars, writing, and camaraderie with @12x12Challenge. Need a supportive group for your writing journey? Join us at: 12x12challenge.com

@POTUS Thank you for all your service!

One more selfie for the road. We love you, America.

If you're an unagented writer or author/illustrator of picture books, I hope you'll enter the 2025 #PBParty contest. It has helped make so many agent and editor matches...and we can't wait to see the magical matches that will happen this year. mindyalyseweiss.com/2025-pbparty-a… #kidlit #PB #picturebooks
