Roy wants to blend in with the drizzle of raindrops, but that means hiding who he truly is under his raincoat. Until Biv, a ball of sunshine, inspires him to share his true colors. Together, they're RAINING RAINBOWS. #POSTERPIT #Q #CL #PB

Well, I didn't get selected for PBRisingStars, but a mentor had requested more work from me while reviewing applications. This feels huge for me. Someone wanted more of my words. 🥹 Thank you! ❤️

I had an acting agent before, and I ADORED her. I could visit and talk with her, always felt like a teammate. But I witnessed her handling contracts, and she was like a lawyer. It was amazing! That's what I'd like for a lit agent. I just don't know how to search for that.

#writingcommunity, how do you know if you should query an agent? Sometimes it feels like tossing queries in the air and going along with whoever says yes first. This makes querying hard for me. I know it's a business, but do I hold out for my fave? Or just take a yes?

@1Storyteller Wow! That's some luck. 🙁

Literally the only time I left something in the faculty freezer overnight so I could have it the next day (labeled and dated), they decided to install an entirely new fridge/freezer! So now I have no lunch :(

I won the radio trivia this morning and got a $40 ACE gift card! (Yay more garden supplies!) The question was: "A recent statistic says 30% of adults have at least one of these on their skin."

@LikhaNiCindy Congratulations!!🎉🎉🎉

@NikkiRobbAuthor @REstepLit Missed pun. I see it now, but my compliment remains. I love this poster and pitch!

@NikkiRobbAuthor @REstepLit This is ADORABLE!!!

When two rival neighbors fight for the right to fill the silence, musical sparks fly. Now they just have to hope they don’t get burned. Me & the Boy in 5C 🎵 #posterpit #ag #c #r Rep: @REstepLit

I scheduled my posts for #posterpit EARLY for me, and then had to teach kid's improv this morning. When I logged in and saw my poster's engagements....🥹🥹 I drew each of those, and y'all's tapped-hearts made my real one almost burst with happy. Thank you so much!

Cyd is utterly unnoticeable... until magic glasses reveal hidden cryptids at the zoo. As he learns about sea serpents, Yetis, and Chupacabras, he starts to see who he really is. #POSTERPIT #Q #CL #PB

Alan's dad is deployed for six months, and Alan misses his hugs. LETTERS FROM DAD arrive for Alan every Monday. They help time pass, but Alan's heart won't be whole until he can wrap his arms around Dad again. #POSTERPIT #Q #CL #PB (inspired by my family's experience)

My 6yo was telling me about a TV show and said: "They rescued her from... Oh what's that word. It's one of those things from the 90s... Oh a well!" 🤣🤣

@FawnPoet 🫂 I'm sending all the healing thoughts!! And 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for no more pain! ❤️

Sorry I've been M.I.A. My back got way worse before it got better. It's still pretty tender and stiff, but Im able to get up and walk without so much pain today! Hopefully I'll be back to writing soon.

@RyanRaeHarbuck 😭😭😭🫂🫂🫂 that's the sweetest thing!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

My youngest just quietly tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I'd sign his copy of my book and now I just can't possibly hold it together anymore😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@RyanRaeHarbuck Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉 (On the publication) And may your appointments be annoyance-free!

My first traditionally published book releases tomorrow--I've worked so hard to get here!--and I will be inappropriately celebrating with a mammogram today and dentist appointment tomorrow. Please, someone do better than me... 😩🫣🫠
