Thank you!
Thank you!
Nobody can stop me from using the em-dash.
Also, I've always admired your writing. It's full of life and intimate as if I'm sitting in the same room.
For me it all boils down to want, need, and motivation. If all three are there, the scene hums. #KidLitChat
I feel the same. Submission package work is the worst.
I'm way late to the party, but it's good for the soul to vocalize accomplishments. I got through the toughest revision to date, but I not only got through it, I learned a lot about the craft and myself in the process.

How exciting! Congratulations to all. What a great pairing.
Good choice.
Definitely deserves the spotlight.
Wow! That's pretty darn cool.
Also, we can't talk about childhood favorites without mentioning Dr.Suess.
Put me in the Zoo
Green Eggs and Ham
Come on....
So good.

I love the story behind the story. What a good sister you have.
Gosh, these look so familiar, but I don't recall a thing about them. I'm gonna have to hunt them down now. Lol!
I love how it came back into your life.
Wow! Young poet. Awesome.
I love your heart stories. Great foundational picks.
I adore those precious moments when Mom acted out picture books. Favs?

Although I don't write PB's, my MG writing is full of danger and fantasy, much like these stories.
Super Cool! #KidLitChat
Your cake is beautiful as always.
I find another writer willing to do sprints. Accountability is key for me. #KidLitChat
Looking for a kidlit editor? I'm reopening to editorial services!
Sharing more widely now! Working in managing editorial, I don't always get to interact with authors, and I miss it. So in addition to working in house, I'm reopening to freelance editing!
If you need a developmental or copy editor, I'd love to hear from you:

I adore planting flowers! I never thought about the writing connection until now. #KidLitChat
Lol! That's fantastic. #KidLitChat

Yeah, that's what I remember. I'm glad you're enjoying it. #KidLitChat
Yeah, I haven't touched Scrivener since it first came out. It overwhelmed me then. I wonder if it would now? π€ #KidLitChat
Aw...you're too kind.
No kidding! Those cookies look amazing! π #KidLitChat
I wrote my first stories inside a volume of notebooks. Now my hands won't work right. I'm doing too much typing, I think. Lol!
#KidLitChat
I use ProWritingAid to catch all the missing commas. But nothing beats a good Excel spreadsheet to outline/revise and a Word doc to create stories. #KidLitChat
Made-up slang is the best, and yours had me roaring. π€£
