Big step in the #kidlit journey, I just applied to this and am excited to work 1:1 with a mentor! Deadline is tomorrow!

I’m still riding the high of the @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social conference this weekend 🙌😎💃 THANK YOU to all who organized this, spoke, (and channeling Snoop Dog, which I'm sure I've never done) I wanna a thank ME for showing up! To committing time & resources to a dream and goal I've had 😜

Excited to submit my #FallWritingFrenzy story today -- it's a spooky one! Thanks @lydialukidis.bsky.social and @kaitlynleann17.bsky.social for putting on a fun contest. #kidlit Link to my blog if you want to read my 200 word story inspired by the photo below. jennadaucunas.com/blog/fall-fr...

I’m super excited to have signed up for the @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social Lines & Letters conference in October! The journey to publishing is long and in-person events like this help keep my motivation alive!

This is me -- doing the things to try and succeed ☺️First time sharing my blog on here, will anyone read it?! jennadaucunas.com/blog/how-muc...

How many people usually submit to the Ann Whitford Paul award? It feels like a long shot, but also always good to send off a manuscript. You never know! 🌱😎

The first part of one of my stories was critiqued on this podcast, starting at min 43:50 🤩 It's the little things that keep me going in this journey to becoming published.

My story, *Nighttime on Blue Sky Ranch*, was featured on this podcast! 😀 I was thrilled to get to hear their 'first pages' feedback, starts at min 43:50. I happened to hear the podcast the day before I submitted it to PBParty so 🤞@waywordwriters.bsky.social #kidlit open.spotify.com/episode/0Oom...

I love winter in Colorado❄️ Beautiful sunset over the lake near our house tonight.

I got an honorable mention last year (my 2nd year entering) so ready to try for this again!

Love this format to announce the winners. So fun to read all the poems and judges feedback 🙌 Great job to all who entered!

What other recent outdoor adventure books have you seen?

Excited to finally be here on Bluesky. 😎 Took me a while as having yet another app wasn't appealing but I know this is the place to be! Here for the #kidlit community!

It's the little things! 😊 I'm happy to get an Honorable Mention for my rock climbing story which I'm querying ☀️🧗‍♀️🏜️ #writingcommunity #PBParty #iamquerying
