Part 4: There are lots of other things in this book I wanted them to learn, but I didn't want to frame it as a lesson. Instead, I decided to give them a thrilling story that lets them consider big and important ideas without being preached to.

See my comment for the real life story behind this conversation. This was one of those life shaping moments for me. #fantasy, #steampunk, #middlegradefiction #markedbymagic

Part 3: I couldn't stop thinking about that moment. It's one of the reasons I wrote my middle-grade novel "Marked by Magic" (coming in the fall). I wanted children to understand, it is okay to love both parents even when they have very different ideas and belief systems...

Part 2: They admitted they would not. When I asked why they thought it was okay to be rude to me, their response was, "Because you'll love me anyway." That shattered my heart for a few reasons. Even after a chat about not abusing people's love and loyalty,...

Part 1: This was one of those life shaping moments for me. My children were raised in a broken home by parents who had very different belief systems. One day, a child was being exceedingly rude to me. I asked if they spoke that way to their father.

@FBIDirectorKash This is amazing. I found the fact that there were that many sites on the dark web incredibly disheartening.

This is what happens when you take the FBI out of Washington and put it back where it belongs, in the fight. • 6,200+ missing kids located, +30% • 1,700 child predators arrested, +17% • 300+ human traffickers arrested, +15% • 764 criminal networks dismantled, arrests +20% • Online exploitation & NVE arrests up 490% • 3.8M+ pedophile accounts terminated on the dark web • 435+ VCAC arrests, 300+ indictments • 322+ child victims located • 500+ child predator & HT arrests this year • Just rescued two minors, a 16-year-old and a 7-month-old We rebuilt this FBI from the ground up, pushed agents into the field, and turned every tool we have against these sick criminals. This FBI is coming for them.

@eunicedraf277 My publisher runs it through two rounds of edits.

@theItalianMuse Nice!! Has book 2 been professionally edited?

Post 1 of 2. see comments When I can't think of something specific I want to go in a passage and need to keep writing, I'll place brackets and instructions for later such as, [[ Be astonishingly clever and put something funny here]] or [[ figure out name of this creature]], etc.

@eunicedraf277 This is book 2 of my middle-grade fantasy/steampunk series. Book 1 releases in the fall but the publisher wants book 2 ready to go right away. As I've already taken the recommended dose...

@theItalianMuse Just the recommended dose, not over or under.. What is the genre of your manuscript?

The struggle is real... #Writing #killyourdarlings...maybe
