@bookbarrista This is so relatable. But you got those 500 down!!!

Trying to use the weekends for my own writing. My goal this weekend is just 1500 words, but so far I’ve written 500, taken a long walk, baked, planned college for all four of my children, taken a personality test to figure out why I’m failing at this task, and played Stardew. 😆

@KristaVanDolzer This story hits all of the highs and lows and plumbs the depths of thought and emotion with dexterity. You do not want to pass it by.

Chasing a miracle for her dying aunt, 12yo nonreligious aspiring journalist Iris goes undercover at Baptist summer camp. As her ex-BFF pushes her to embrace faith, Iris must wrestle with the camp’s closed-minded culture and decide what she truly believes in. #PitchMe 13 MG

You know you're deep in revisions when you start talking to yourself. And posting about it on Twitter.

@Jessicawhippl17 Hi friend!

@sarahheatcreate IT'S YOU!!! I haven't seen you in FOREVER.

I always make too much soup.

@dadavis3 @SCBWICarolinas @SarahJWMeade

@sarahheatcreate @SCBWICarolinas @SarahJWMeade It was incredible!! I’m so happy I finally got to hug y’all!

I’m headed to @SCBWICarolinas conference to meet @sarahheatcreate and @SarahJWMeade —my Critique Sisters! Who else is going?? #kidlit #kidlitart

@SoCalledYALife Nice! I've made a few quilts but I've never taken a class. Learning how to properly cut things out and piece would probably be a good investment!

@NLoosMiller Hooray! You're smart, gorgeous, and funny. Take that with confidence to your draft! You've got this!

@KentuckyJessica @6and_MANuscript @KaitlynLeann17 @writerjolene @SarahJWMeade @kristinwauson @RylandDk @MikeIrvineBooks Absolutely! Or have a critique partner make a recording. @SarahJWMeade does this for me and it's game changing.

@6and_MANuscript @KaitlynLeann17 @writerjolene @sarahheatcreate @SarahJWMeade @kristinwauson @RylandDk @MikeIrvineBooks Something I consider: record yourself reading to hear how the rhythm sounds. Would it sound that way if someone else read it?

baDUM baDUM ... #KidLitZombieWeek2024 Day 2: Try a Major Metrical Overhaul by Diana Murray kaitlynleannsanchez.com/2024/06/17/kid… Thank you, Diana Murray! Discussion: Writing a PB in rhyme is hard most of the time. What are your tips, tricks, and cheats to make it less scary?

Can you believe that today is not only the fourth day of #KidlitZombieWeek but also #PBPitch? Don't pitch an unfinished zombie story, of course. Who else is pitching today?

@FableFiddler Fun rhymes! Your love for nature shines in your pitches,

@ShumakerDebra Thank you so much for your tireless devotion to getting authors' stories seen and out there in the world. Your work has positively affected so many! Best of luck in all your new endeavors.

Aimlessly scrolling his feed, he saw it There it was The book he was supposed to have written The the one he had been tinkering with for years Someone else had snatched it From the ether Snatched it right out of the air Right out of his hands
