To me, this is a weapon, a tool, a symbol of the work it took to achieve my dream of becoming an author and the day-to-day labor it takes to remain one. To my dog it's a cool stick she stole off my nightstand and took into her crate to gnaw.

Being an author means having the audacity to believe you have something worth saying, the humility to take feedback & rewrite til you say it right, the vulnerability to put a piece of yourself into the world, & the toughness to weather the rejection that comes. - Why every author needs a therapist

New rule for myself: Read at least three picture books before scrolling through social media. It's sooo much better for my mood!!!

Two stacks of picture books sit on a black coffee table. Bookshelves appear in the background with more books and storage bins.

This, but with an added note: if you don't have a local indie, know that many independent bookstores will ship nationwide, so you can still support a small business 😉

When you ask people about the books that changed their lives, they almost always mention a children's book. They're the books that make us readers, shape us at the deepest levels, and stay with us FOREVER. That's why I think children's books are the most important books of all! #kidlit #books

Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.

At the risk of reading too much into Bluesky’s success at the moment, I do think it’s a signal that people don’t want to be surrounded by bots and manipulated algorithms AI can only go so far. We want human connection.
