When my kids were little I gave them weekly “TV coupons” — one coupon per thirty minute show, and no more TV after they ran out. EXCEPT, they could watch anything on @pbs for “free.” Because I knew any show on PBS was going to help me raise BETTER PEOPLE. What a gift.

Shout out to my buddies who still have the urge to underline book titles every time you write them.

Seriously curious question for those who have step-moms. Is there anyone out there who had an honest to goodness good relationship with said person, even in the growing up years? I’d love to hear your thoughts either way.

No one has more faith in my writing than the past me who wrote “fix this” on my manuscript for future me to find.

I had to get rid of a character during revision today, and genuinely felt bad about it. But she did kind of bring it on herself. Like, sorry Tracy, but if you wanted to stick around you should have moved the plot forward more.

THE WAY I SAY IT is two years old! Thank you to all the teachers, librarians, reviewers, & readers who have supported my debut novel over the past two years. Core learnings from this time: stories can be powerful, writing friends are awesome, and rising tides lift all boats.

Give an author a deadline, and she’ll want a new social media platform to go with it. 🪂 Hello, #kidlit friends. Shall we procrastinate together?
