I love what you said about reviving stories. I agree!

I use voice dictation a lot and dictated my list of writing work, one of which is revising a story. I just looked at my list, and instead of "revise," it says "revive." Truthfully, that's a better description of what I need to do with this story! #writingcommunity #edusky #booksky

@kelstarly.bsky.social is a fabulous teacher! She was my @weneeddiversebooks.bsky.social mentor and has become a dear friend. She knows #PBs and has innovative ideas for marketing. You won't regret taking a class with her. #kidlit #childrensbooks

This weekend's a big one! See you soon, New Jersey & New York!
