Say it louder for everyone in the back: "Sometimes the story you thought you were writing isn’t actually the story that wants to emerge." Thank you Rosie J. Pova!

My favorite piece of revision advice from @christinashawn.bsky.social's #KidlitZombieWeek post: "Every good Franken-story requires at least one murder." 🧟

Proof that sometimes a manuscript has to die a few times before it finds its true form 🧟 Loved reading about how NO LEGS, NO LIMITS kept evolving until it became the right book! Thank you @nishaligon.bsky.social and Kanya Sesser!!

My advice is to never implement a critique suggestion literally. Always use it to hone what you want to say in your own voice. #kidlitchat

The odds of getting traditionally published (1-2%), is around the same as the percentage of actors (2%) who are able to make a living with acting. Let that sink in. #writingcommunity, you are defying the odds.

It’s been a minute, but I’m back here to share that The Dot Went for a Walk made the #PBParty HM list! This story has had a JOURNEY, and I’m so thrilled to hear that its new direction is resonating with creators I deeply admire.
