Take the time you need. I wasn’t sure if I had missed some Skeet or email, etc.

Is there an E.T.A. on when selected #KidLitZombieWeek 2025 winners find out who on their survey they are paired?

If you are in these districts or know anyone who might be, call these reps. Tell them to vote NO on a bill that will:
* Deny insurance to millions
* Cause thousands of preventable deaths
* Reinforce and expand the fascist regime of deportation and camps

I am a #KidlitZombieWeek Pledge Contest Winner.

I am one of the selected #KidlitZombieWeek winners!

It’s 👌🏽I “read” that the answer was “No,” in the tears being wiped off face(s)giggly wiggly responses of @rebecca-ensign.nksy.social and @janmilusich.bsky.social .

To be undertaken?

I solemnly swear I’m using my yummy brain to bring a zombie manuscript back to life. #KidLitZombieWeek

Thank you for the bonus day!! I had a busy week and it was great to have time today to read all the blogs and start picking my brain for ways to revive my MS!

You say: #KidLitZombieWeek pitch and pledge window is now extended thru today Saturday 6/28 till 11:59pm EST!
I hear: Writer’s go “full Frankenstein” and offer up a second Zombie baby. Otherwise where will our spare body parts come from?
(Inspired by @JocelynRish.com). May we?

Whoa! The cover collage is magical.

You could add:
As his vision cleared, he looked up and he saw the tattoo. Panicked he looked down. That’s when he saw the nails….
Cue the scream.

😮‍💨 I submitted a pitch to my first #kidlitzombieweek

I just pitched and pledged my first Zombie manuscript at my first #KidLitZombieWeek .

And windowseats.

The easiest way to explain ranked choice voting is that it's a sandwich order, not a tier list. If I said your choices are turkey, ham, or dogshit, you wouldn't be like "ok my third choice is dogshit", you'd simply omit the shit sandwich.

Brilliant

Thx. I’ll reach out directly to Arree Chung.

Wait, what “one” manuscript? OK just know I spell 1 “o-n-e”. So I see permission to pull theee Zombie scripts.

@infowoman.bsky.social Hey, I see you are a former community manager for Storyteller Academy. Are new members only permitted during certain membership sign-up windows annually?

Me: mentally prepping my pitch. (And knowing that the conveyor belt scene is totally gonna be my week next week!🧟‍♀️❤️‍🩹🤯🤣)

I wonder if “Pantsers” are more often surprised than “Plotters.” As a pantser who feels my way into my writing, my answer is about a third of the way thru draft creation my stories within stories emerge.

…with clotted cream? Please.

OK, that’s it, you’ve got me. I am following you.

Please, with a soft, warm throw blanket over my knees and a window seat.

😅And what’s the Expedia Experience link to that trip?

👀You’ve got my attention.
