The five days off with family (which also included a lot of house work) has made me turn into a slug and I don’t want to do anything today. 🤣 But I’ll probably open my laptop and do some revising on my current WIP soon.

Thanks for having me! 💜

I managed to do some manuscript revisions today and start sketches for a painting I’m gifting someone. I should probably think about a piece for next week. When I’ll get it done…? Not sure! 😆

Get those postcards ready! #kidlitart #kidlitartpostcard

The only person getting this job is someone whose well-off parents are still supporting them at home. There’s no way this would work otherwise.

Thanks for joining us tonight! Hope to see you all next month on December 18! #kidlitart

Awww shucks…thanks! 💜 I’m thankful for all of the mods who came before too and that we continue to do this. #kidlitart

That sounds really nice! I feel calmer thinking about that. #kidlitart

Mmm… stinky cheese contract… #kidlitart

You can buy chocolate with that cash too! #kidlitart

Sounds good to me! #kidlitart

Why not both? #kidlitart

LOL, I’m sure it’s fine. It’s just going to be that, “Oh my god, that’s my own voice and it sounds weird” sort of thing. Hah! #kidlitart

A really nice book contract?? 🤣 #kidlitart

Yeah, it’s a lot of #KidLit folks she interviews, but not always, so it’s a nice mix. I love Nancy and have been listening to her podcast for a while. Also, I’m the next guest on the episode coming out next week. Eep!! I hope I don’t sound too silly. LOL. #kidlitart

That’s a really good idea! #kidlitart

His art is always amazing no matter when it’s from! I almost got to meet him, but he couldn’t travel because of a health issue. But, I met Wendy and Toby! #kidlitart

A4: I’ve been using the Finch app. I have tasks on there that are to say things I’m thankful for that day and such. I find it helps me think about being thankful more.

Alt: My Creative Life podcast with @nmillerillo.bsky.social is a nice way to remind me of awesome artists around me #kidlitart
