““We’re on our own”: People with disabilities left out of climate planning” by @AP_Climate twitter.com/i/events/15817…

I just entered the @lucky_seat drawing for $30 tickets to see SIX! luckyseat.com/dash/shows/six… #luckyseat

@WriteOnCon @ViviBarnes Hey, I know her! And a crit from @ViviBarnes is a gold mine!!

Hey, middle grade & young adult writers, get a critique from Author Vivi Barnes @ViviBarnes! See writeoncon.org/critique-bouti… for details. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amquerying #kidlit #writersoftwitter

@soontornvat Soooo adorable. I want to squidge her!!

@DebraGetts @SCBWI_Florida This sounds great. I've been with my SCBWI crit group for over a decade. Giving critiques to my fellow members helps me so much with my own writing. And their perspective on my writing helps make my work so much better.

@SCBWI_Florida I run an online MG crit group for advanced & agented writers. (Always open to receiving inquiries from SCBWIFlorida members. debragetts@gmail.com) #scbwifloridasocial How is a crit group most helpful to you? You to them?

Q#5:  Is there anything you would like to ask your fellow kidlit creators? Curious about something? Ask away! #SCBWIFloridaSocial

@evereducating @SCBWI_Florida I struggle so hard to find comps! My books don't fit a mold so I have to find books with similar themes

@SCBWI_Florida Do you use comps in your queries? I struggle with finding ones I feel strongly about for some of my manuscripts, so I don’t always use them. #SCBWIFloridaSocial

@SCBWI_Florida Making the commitment to butt-in-chair so I can turn an outline into scenes

Q#4: What is something you would like to accomplish by the end of the year? Struggling with anything? #SCBWIFloridaSocial

@SCBWI_Florida I'm learning a lot from the fiction I've been reading lately. I explore plot points, look for character development, and so much more.

Q#3: Have you read any great books, (craft or otherwise), that have inspired you or taught you something new? Any new insights or tips to share? #SCBWIFloridaSocial

@gabi_justice @SCBWI_Florida I need to bust out my copy.

@SCBWI_Florida Save the Cat Writes a Novel. Really interesting structuring. #SCBWIFloridaSocial

@ACHarvey_ @SCBWI_Florida Love that book!

@SCBWI_Florida Reading Bird by Bird and it’s just over all amazing and inspiring for writers! Highly recommend.

@SlothReads @SCBWI_Florida Spooky!!

@SCBWI_Florida I am working on a middle grade book about a group of girls who investigate the supernatural for their YouTube channel. #SCBWIFloridaSocial

Q#2: What are you currently working on? #SCBWIFloridaSocial

@RoxyanneYoung @SCBWI_Florida That's fascinating!

@jill_watson326 @SCBWI_Florida Absolutely, they will!

@SCBWI_Florida I am working on the synopsis for FAKE FRIEND FIASCO, my MG book. It will be going out on sub in September, and one lucky editor is going to fall hopelessly in love with it.

@KerryOCerra @SCBWI_Florida Wahoo!!!

@SCBWI_Florida I'm completely rewriting a YA I wrote 20+ years ago. Takes place during Deaf President Now Revolution in 1988. About finding the courage to express yourself while not stepping on others own right to do the same

@jill_watson326 @SCBWI_Florida

@SCBWI_Florida Hi! Jill Watson here at my kitchen counter in Stuart. I write humorous MG with a deaf protagonist. #SCBWIFloridaSocial

Let’s go! Q#1: ICEBREAKER Introduce yourself! Tell us your name, where you live, and what kidlit genre(s) you write and/or illustrate! #SCBWIFloridaSocial
