Writer. Likes to rhyme, though not when writing movies or novels. But you should see my shopping lists! Has never bought an orange. #kidlitchat cohost for 14+ years on ex-Twitter (and now here on Tuesday nights at 9 PM EST!). Still bats and throws righty.

TOPIC: Guess what? It's time for another quarterly check-in . . . already! Share what you've accomplished in the past three months: baby steps, or giant leaps, full landings or near misses . . . celebrate whatever has carried you FORWARD. #kidlitchat

That is a totally wrong soup to sleep in. Not at all comforting. So I also hope you don't fall asleep in it. And I hope you get to join us or at least get to sleep in a bed with a pillow of something cheese-free!

It is another Tuesday so there shall be another #kidlitchat (at 9PM Eastern/6PM Pacific) right here on Bluesky. If you're thinking "gosh, it'd be swell to talk with other #kidlit fans and creators for an hour"... 1) you'd be right and 2) you should join us! See you soon!

#KidLit friends, I am hearing rumblings that the desire for middle grade is slowly inching up again. Your moment may be closer than you think, so maybe it's time to consider dusting off that manuscript you've been too afraid to even think about.

Thank you all for joining in another #kidlitchat. I celebrate all of you and the fact that we get to come together each week for this. (And I celebrate desserts, but that's a given). See you all next week!

always chocolate chip (shared last week) for cookies. Cake? If banana bread doesn't count, then... shockingly... chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. #kidlitchat
