Just started the Whole Novel Workshop at Highlights Foundation to work on my first YA novel! Already enjoyed a great first class with @alering.bsky.social . So thankful to @highlightsfound.bsky.social for providing fantastic resources for writers.

My heart is full after an amazing weekend with this beautiful group of authors at the Asian Asian American Voices In-Community Retreat. I'm so grateful I was able to go it far exceeded anything I could have hoped for.@highlightsfound.bsky.social @debbimichiko.bsky.social @authorgracelin.bsky.social
So excited to be attending the Asian and Asian American Voices Retreat with @highlightsfound.bsky.social I was on the waitlist for months and can't believe I was able to get in! Woohoo! 🎉🥳🙌 Looking forward to an amazing time with other AA creators! ❤ #kidlit #amwriting #asiankidlit #koreanamerican
Yay! Just got my 3rd set of badges from @12x12challenge.bsky.social for submitting my March draft and revision PBs. Why are these so satisfying to get?
Thank you Lisa Fraustino who introduced me to 12x12 in her amazing PB writing class at Hollins last fall!

Please add me to the chance for this critique! TY!
loved your interview on literary rambles and I'd love a chance at that critique!
Thinking about "Asian diaspora" feels expansiveness, honoring, and distinct but connected to me... so fascinating!
I'm also curious how using "Korean diaspora" instead of Korean American might affect South Korean (or motherland) @beyonkz.bsky.social #kidlit #amwriting #asiankidlit #aapiheritage
Hollins University, where I'm completing my kidlit MFA has the most beautiful campus! I had the wonderful privilege of visiting the stables, thanks to Dr. E, who arranged a visit for me to help groom these sweet creatures and muck and scoop poop! @dulemba.bsky.social @hollinskidlit.bsky.social
