Life goal: Write a ban-worthy book.

Strategy: Write a #dystopian #pb about book banning

Humble brag: An agent has already declined representation, saying "[a dystopian picture book] is not a good idea." One step closer to my goal!

Everyone knows MUTE Miles*—I also call him CHATTERBOX, all those chemicals—got a bad deal with the Tylenol. Horrible. But now they're saying BLAISE, THE DINOSORTA had autism, too, before Tylenol was invented? FAKE NEWS PEOPLE!!! #unhingedpit #pb #q

*STILL WATERS (pb)

MUTE Miles has to gesture with his tiny hands because MEDICATION Mama couldn't stop popping pills. SAD!! I've said it before—and I've said it so well and so beautifully, no doctor has said it like I have—taking Tylenol is not good. #UnhingedPit #pb #q #nd

If your tastes
for verse
skew a little

Forgive me

THIS CHRISTMAS, I MUST SAY
may be just
the dish
you need.

Should you prefer heroic tales
Of sweet fraternal feats,
AND DRAGONS TO SLAY BEFORE I WAKE
Your scrutiny entreats.

Sweet agents who dabble in rhyme,
I beg but a beat of your time.
My instinct for meter
Just couldn’t be sweeter:
Delectable, scrumptious, sublime!

Thanks for sharing, Lorri!

Question for my #PB #kidlit people: Would anyone be interested in a critique service that caters specifically to rhyming manuscripts? It seems like many critique services focus on non-rhyming stories, and I LOVE working in rhyme.

as an older teen I took stock of myself, recognized my dorkiness and looks far outweighed any charisma, and decided my main activity of acting was never going to be it for me professionally and I’d better stick with the writing I’d always done quietly on my own

THE BETRAYAL OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA AGE

Your social media presence uplifts the entire writing community. You deserve to take care of yourself, but you should also know how much we all appreciate you!

Thank you!! 🥹

Thank you! ☺️

When garlic-loving, blood-hating vampire Belladonna can no longer bear the weight of her secret double life, she must choose between a hunger strike (look out for hangry Belladonna!) and telling her friends the truth (perhaps losing them forever). #QuestPit #PB #Q #HA #ND

As Cyril walked through Egypt land,
Suddenly he froze
When something struck his nasal gland…
What’s stuck in his nose?
And his friends said, “Cyril Camel,
Sneezing up storms of sand,
Tell us, tell us:
What’s stuck in your nose?”

Bah! Humbug! Someone has stolen Christmas *again*, but it wasn't the Grinch this time. If the perp doesn't turn things around, someone REALLY unexpected might end up on the Naughty List. #QuestPit #PB #HA #Q [in acquisitions, as start of #holiday series]

Miles is frustrated not to be meeting milestones, and Mama worries as she watches Miles melt down in the face of his frustrations…but that is NOT their story. They learn early on to run their own race, celebrating wins on Miles’ schedule and in Miles’ style. #QuestPit #Q #PB #ND

Some very good news for your Monday! The right to read won BIG in Texas on Saturday. Thank you & congratulations to Frank & everyone else who made this happen!

Perfect--thank you! 😊

I'm having a great time getting my bedtime story ready for the ICL contest. @lamortensen.bsky.social, does the rule excluding illustrations also prohibit art notes?

Thank you, Ginger!!

I had this exact reaction to scanning the lists! 😂

Your story gives me chills.

Aww, thank you so much, Tracie!! I was not remotely surprised to see your name on the list. 🤩

I am beyond delighted to be included in the #50PreciousWords Winner's Circle! Thank you to @viviankirkfield.bsky.social and the judges, and a huge shout out to the many familiar names among the winners and HMs!

Most of all, immense gratitude to my boy, who inspired my precious words.🩵

How exciting! Congratulations!! 🎉

THE DUMP is a dystopian picture book. Speculative. Fiction. The headlines below are real. Recent. Threatening.

It's time to stand up for books. No one comes back from the dump.
