Snowed and iced in. A record snow fell in Kentucky! We donโ€™t have enough snow and ice to be well prepared!

My heart goes out to LA county. Prayers for all and for the brave souls fighting those fires!

Two large dogs snuggled close, a light brown one with a black muzzle and a white one. They look very cozy and relaxed!

Hey, authors! Iโ€™m curious about something with indie authors. Iโ€™m indie and traditional hybrid. And Iโ€™m also a proofreader. Do most of you guys use a proofreader? Do you think 1000 words free is enough for a proofreader to offer. I want to step up my game! You can help! TIA! Photo of my partners.

Do you ever hit writerโ€™s block? Hereโ€™s an assignment. Write 200 words about any single word that you choose randomly from a dictionary. Only give yourself one hour! No rules other than using the word somehow. It might get you brain back in gear.

Colleen Hoover is such a popular author with our teens that I spent a beautiful porch day reading one of her romances. Sheโ€™s a wonderful writer who pulls you in with some things kids are afraid to discuss sometimes. It reminds me of how sophisticated many of our teens are. Writers, be aware!

Iโ€™m working on a freelance project that I love so much itโ€™s making me question everything!!! Iโ€™ve done many and most havenโ€™t even needed edits. Do you ever get more anxious about one where you love the message of the ms?

Love this! Once you learn you CAN sew, youโ€™ll want to do it more! I made wedding dresses in my past! Loved the challenge, and loved the people I made them for! Have fun!

The photo shows a snow scene through a window. There are snow-covered trees and indistinct houses. It appears to be a neighborhood snow scene.

Important question: Do you have a season when your writing flows best? Iโ€™m not sure why, but winter seems to be my best. I think itโ€™s because I have fewer distractions except at the holidays. What about you #kidlit writers?

Two large dogs, one white and one brown, on a woman reclining on a sofa. One dog is crowding into the womanโ€™s face.

My header makes me sad now! It featured my two dogs and bearded dragon. My two little dogs have been replaced by enormous lap dogs. Love them but it sure is different. What size dog do you love best? Why?

Yes! Worked for years to curate Twitter! Iโ€™m no longer interested in pure numbers like I was then, but want to find writing family.

Not sure I have. Iโ€™ve just started looking around.

Iโ€™m excited to be on this new platform and eager to connect with authors, teachers, librarians, and readers. My favorite part of writing is seeing my books in the hands of kids!
