Faith Lapka Richardson @faithr.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Perfect day to be working on my MG novel, The Frost Pony. #wip #kidlit #writingcommunity (Yes, little Penelope, after visiting her neighbor friends, prefers the shelter of a tree rather than her stable with a giant mound of hay. Meanwhile my big horses are all under cover tucking in on said hay.) 011
