One of my idols passed away on Wednesday. Jane Goodall was an amazing woman. She broke down so many barriers for women in natural sciences. Thank you for all you have done for us.

I’m definitely Grogran

Playing new board games with my girls and hubby.

My 6th grade daughter (they/them) wants dark fantasy romance. They have found: Starlight and the Shadows by Vera Winter, A Game Of Heart and Heists by Ruby Rose, and Hunt Me Darling by Maree Rose. All are very 18+. Is there anything like that in MG or YA? They want LGBTQ+.

While walking my dog last night, the words to a a picture book idea came to me. I was telling it to my husband. He said you should have Docs open and voice dictate. So I did while I was doing some chores around the house. Very helpful.

I love today’s post for #Storystorm. I have always struggled with connecting with my characters. I am going to go back and rewrite some stories in first person. I really hope it helps me.

Good luck! 🍀

Not sure if that’s good or bad. Just cold here.

I’m participating in Storystorm 2025! It has inspired lots of ideas in the past and I can’t wait to see what is in store this year. #storystorm And on a random note, today was Day 1 of no Rob Lowe in The Outsiders.

The whole time about getting caught and in trouble. The wind was at my back there and I struggled getting home. Mom was concerned when I got back over an hour later. I felt scared but relieved that I didn’t get in trouble or caught.
I grew up on a farm.

Out. I got scraped up and was mad at my brothers, who in turn blamed me for getting hurt. Another was following the creek out of our pasture. That was fun and exhilarating. I never told anyone. The third was riding my bike to a crushes house that was probably 5+ miles from my house. I was worried

A few different ones come to mind. One is when my brothers told me they would push me off the cement slab into the driveway in the wagon. I initially said no. My brothers weren’t to be trusted. They both showed me it was fun and safe. So I decided to do it. I turned the handle as I landed and wiped
