Here's a quote I love from @bethanyhegedus.bsky.social last night on a Zoom meeting. "The story you're telling doesn't need to be what everyone wants. It needs to be what somebody needs."

I'm a newbie, just getting to know Bluesky. It's different than Facebook, that's for sure. Please let me know what features you like best, and if you know of any starter packs for PB/MG writers.
