I put it on my phone to take with me in case I have to leave the main TV. I’m so glad they let us watch. Go Barrett!

For podcasts, I love listening to some that aren't necessarily writing-related, but they spark my creativity and make me want to write beautiful things! My current obsessions: Solve This Murder, Escape This Podcast, Lateral, Good Job Brain, and Secretly Incredibly Fascinating. :) #KidLitChat

I write mid grade mystery and have heard that book recommended before. I enjoyed the Author Fleur and met her at a Bouchercon conference where we were both speaking Her books are fun #KidLitChat

Just going to say, if you want to read an adult nonfiction book that thinks deeply about the qualities of excellent children’s literature, isn’t snobby about the many types of children’s books people write & read, and will help you make your own book even better:

I once square danced in an elevator. But I’ve never pitched to an editor in an elevator. #kidlitchat

I agree, pitches are hard. I gave a webinar for CBI about first writing a synopsis then pulling the query and pitch from there. #kidlitchat

I credit that conference with making sales and gaining agents. Just hanging out and talking to other writers is where the really connecting happens. #kidlitchat

#kidlitchat I revise as I go along. My first chapters will be revised dozens of times. Each time I find things to improve.

#kidlitchat another source of information is the podcast Writers with wrinkles. They frequently interview, editors, agents, and writers.

#kidlitchat I used to get most news from Scbwi conferences—especially the LA Summer con-where I had fun conversations with writing friends. But with few SCBWI local conferences and SCBWI’s Summer in-person conference canceled, I mostly get information online like PW & CBI. Also my critique group.

Yes—I miss that conference SO much. Zoom is too impersonal.

#kidlitchat I did the nano contest once and made it two weeks only but managed to add nearly 100 pages to the book I was writing. Then I spent a month+ rewriting. Still, I don’t need challenges. I can’t relax unless I’m writing.

When SCBWI used to have the amazing summer conference in person, I would be energized by talking with friends and learning from workshops, often discovering new ideas and submission options. #kidlitchat

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said “when you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

A whiteboard leaned against a shelf with many trinkets. On the whiteboard, it says “When you look at a blank page, think of who you love”
