This is how things are lately. Snippets of my week.

"Writing is the dragon that lives underneath my floorboards. The one I incessantly feed for fear it may turn and devour my ass." —Quentin R. Bufogle

Congratulations to artist María J. Guarda. Her picture book, PALOMA FLIES AWAY has been nominated for the Carnegie Medal for Illustration! This beautiful book leaves a forever imprint @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social @carnegiemedals.bsky.social @stormliterary.bsky.social

Authors, here's a pro tip because this has come up several times recently: If you've been traditionally published, make sure you keep hold of your latest royalty statement so you have more accurate sales numbers (specifically # copies sold) for your books. Future publishers may ask for that info.

I always thought if I ever owned a house I’d make us “the book house” each Halloween.

Getting all the chapter books, MG reads, and YA (we had a lot of teens last year, and yes, teenagers are kids don’t be jerks to them on Halloween) sorted for tomorrow!

250 giveaway books! But also candy.

The garden always needs my attention.

Loving this book so far.

Genius.

Over 11k steps today. Even met two wonderful ladies on my walk. I felt their kindness in my bones. We need more of that in the world!

It came! I’m excited to dive into it!

R&R kinda day. Enjoying the quiet after doing far too much yard work yesterday.

I’ve written a PB unlike any other. I’ve Googled the topic. There are no children’s books on this fascinating topic. Please let there be a fun and clever editor out there who loves it.

I admit, at times it can be funny. 🤣

At least it is not constantly making you dead, when it changes deaf to dead. Constant battle.

Morning walk. Perfect weather this week!

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day, I'm a writer and illustrator with a backlog of stories to tell, currently querying agents, see my website for more: johnlechner.com 🍄🐸 #kidlitart

Added to the garden.

Keep writing.
