I've got all day, but I'm here anyway (although I haven't been in the best of morning moods since the annoying semi-annual clock change). Btw, happy spring. #5amwritersclub

Jennifer Ann Richter @jenniferannrichter.bsky.social is "a writer of stories and watcher of birds and stars," and that’s exactly what her first two books are about. Check out Bird Nerd and The Star of Moon Village and add them to your library. #middlegradebooks

Still working on backstory. Figured I'd take my time on this since I'm not on deadline. Have a good writing/planning/thinking morning, #5amwritersclub!

On this Friday edition of #5amwritersclub, I'm diving into my protag's backstory by writing a detailed origin story scene to pin down her misbelief (an exercise courtesy of Lisa Cron's Story Genius). Okay, back to work...

Happy Thursday, #5amwritersclub! I've barely finished chapter one, but I'm stopping to write my 2-page synopsis because I know I won't feel like it later.

Good morning, #5amwritersclub! It's been a while, but I'm finally back to a morning writing routine. At least I think I am. We'll see how the rest of the week goes. 😄

Slept through the night but still waking up tired. I blame the pollen. Anyway, here's to successful writing (and waking), #5amwritersclub!

Happy morning writing, everyone! Got revision notes late yesterday afternoon, complete with a tight deadline, so I'll be "butt in chair" over the next month. #5amwritersclub

Good morning, #5amwritersclub! Starting late since yesterday's DMV experience required a bit of recuperation. There was one bright spot, though. BIRD NERD was featured in a Book Riot post! I love how they described my book. bookriot.com/best-childre...

First, a bit of morning writing. Then off to the DMV for a car inspection and registration renewal (and thus, beginning the day's downward trend). #5amwritersclub

Good Monday, #5amwritersclub! This morning I'm fine tuning a synopsis for a book that hasn't been written yet and that nobody's asking for. But the mood (muse?) struck me. Plus, I like to keep extra projects in my quiver just in case.

Good morning, #5amwritersclub! Pivoting from writing to prepping for a "books and birds" presentation at my local library's homeschool hour. It's not until next month, but as per usual, I'm already stressing.😬 #BookSky #EduSky #Kidlit

Belated good morning, #5amwritersclub (well, unless you're out West). I spent a good deal of time watching freelancers angrily telling others not to "reply all" to a message that had been sent in error--of course, replying all in the process.😄

Good morning, #5amwritersclub! I'm working on a short story while waiting for my second round of revision notes on my novel. Hope everyone's adjusting to the biannual man-made sleep disturbance! 🛏️

Good morning, #5amwritersclub! So, last night I dreamt that I was on Good Morning America. Not for my book, but for my "famous" lemon chicken alfredo over linguine. I'm still taking it as a sign. #kidlit

Final morning writing session before my mini-vacation south to get away from the...snow. 😑 Guess I should pack some road salt and a shovel. #5amwritersclub

Been cloistered at home during this deep freeze, but I did emerge for a Saturday book signing at the Barnes & Noble in Rehoboth Beach. Enjoyed meeting all the visitors, and I sold some books to boot! Now back to writing... #5amwritersclub

Winter wonderland...with grackles. I'd write a poem about it, but I'm on a tight deadline with my novel. #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity #birds #ProjectFeederwatch #backyardbirds

Just read the delightful #MG book BIRD NERD by Jennifer Ann Richter, which was perfect for me as my feed here is all KidLit and birds. It's a sweet book, and, of course, filled with birds! My kiddos and I are backyard birders like Nyla. 📚👍

Survived my first author event! This was at a local author showcase at the Kent County Public Library in Dover, DE. The bird tree looked better in person.

Cover reveal! I couldn’t have dreamed of a more beautiful cover for my debut novel! Artist Bea Jackson did an amazing job capturing nature’s beauty and Nyla’s sense of wonder. #Kidlit #middlegrade #MG #nature #birds #5amwritersclub
