I also love how you related writing to a river and revising to chiseling away at marble! Great visuals!

Iβm super bummed that my story didnβt make it into the #pbparty showcase BUT I will still read the winners and support the authors and illustrators who made it! PLUS seeing the agents & editors who request work/genres similar to mine gives me an idea of who to submit to! β€οΈ

We're holding our first #MSWL day over on Bluesky!
Not aware of hashtag#MSWL days? It's when agents post their current wishes for their inbox. This is fabulous data for querying writers.
Hope to see you there!
