Loved my visits at the River School and the Landon School this week. We talked about the origins of characters and stories, and had some laughs. Thank you to everybody who participated, and to @politicsprose.bsky.social . It's always so much fun. 🥰 #schoolvisits #authorvisits #kidlit

Early in my recent writing journey, I returned to social media and found it a bottomless, loud, and often lonely place. @mychal3ts reached out to me with kind words and lifted my spirits. Years later, and by happy accident, I got to thank him in person! ❤️

Yikes. This year's vaccines knocked me on my a***. 😵

A group of youth climate researchers affiliated with UC Davis is trying to fix climate models to correct for fossil fuel industry propaganda that has snuck its way in. But... of course their funding was just cut. :(

So they're doing a GoFundMe.

If you need something to do in the ridiculousness of this conversation, go find some volunteer opportunies. It's easy, free, and actually makes a positive difference. If only more people chose service as their form of self-expression.

Thank you for coming to my Teddy talk.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

It's wild to be working on a revision of a book you wrote ten years ago and remember exactly where and when you wrote a specific line. Some magical mind-motor memory. Spooky.

Rainy September morning. Perfect for #writing. Who's with me? 😉
#amwriting #writers #writingcommunity

Great chat tonight, and I got a bunch of recommendations to look into.

I'm so grateful for all of you. Like many places, D.C. is struggling to keep its light alive right now, and it can be scary. Nothing gives me more hope and light than spending Tuesdays with this group. Thanks! 💓 #kidlitchat

I tried a dogfighting game recently and it... MESSED. ME. UP. 😆
I've never in my life had motion sickness, but something about that threw my brain into a blender. #kidlitchat

My oldest, a sophomore in college, just told us they're interested in becoming a school librarian. 💓 💓 💓

It's amazing to have such a strong and supportive community. 💓

Everyone at the office has been talking TINY BOOK SHOP for weeks. Sounds like the perfect game for fall.

You know, I just figured out my Halloween plans. 👻 Thanks, Debbie. #kidlitchat

I do! And Fireproof is the best! I almost applied for a job there, knowing I didn't have a chance (and wouldn't move overseas). How did I miss GHOST TOWN???

VR is really fun for certain types of games, but not very many. And it really takes a toll on your poor neck muscles and eyes. 😫 #kidlitchat

That's a very healthy perspective. I need to keep those goals in mind when I write. 🧠 #kidlitchat
