I've got something neat coming next week... Why not a little teaser? We know that face by now, right? I've drawn him a lot. Cover reveal for my cottagecore curse wip (and its actual title) coming March 3rd!!

New to my books? This post is for you! 😁 Hi, I'm Claris (she/her), a Chinese Canadian indie author & poet writing to inspire readers with hope, perseverance, creativity, and happy endings.❤️ #books #writing #author #reading #indieauthor #readers #CanadianAuthor

A hobby I want to pursue but haven't is photography.📸 #WriteStuff

I've been reading since I was a child, but I think I got more into reading AFTER I overcame some reading comprehension difficulties in early grade school. Once I understood the stories better, I really enjoyed reading even more. #WriteStuff

Find my kids' fantasy chapter book, "Sadie Rowe And The Missing Necklace," at this link: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B... Available in paperback & ebook!📖 #kidlit #kidlitchat #booksky #writesky

On a personal level, I'm celebrating my first #kidlit book being published yesterday! 🎉 #kidlitchat

Writing brightens my life because it gives me the opportunity to create some stories that'll make me and other readers laugh, feel a sense of hope and have a story on paper that i can reread repeatedly, instead of accidentally losing the story before I have it written down. ♥️✍️ #WriteStuff

I like that reading gives me...knowledge? And inspiration. But also a time to just focus on the words in front of me and see where the story goes. #WriteStuff

I don't think I've specifically had any characters be interested in reading alone. 🤔 However, Aubri Harlow and Bastian Faulkner, two characters from my Harlow Mystery series books, are REALLY into reading/watching murder mystery media. You can imagine how that worked out for them.😆 #WriteStuff

Aside from writing, I enjoy reading books and playing video games - and, admittedly, watching a lot of Youtube vids. 😆 #WriteStuff

I think a key trait about Sadie from my book "Sadie Rowe And The Missing Necklace" is that she would always put her family first. She adores her grandma and would look for her lost necklace for her in any universe. #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity

Woke up to a 4.75 star rating for my newly-published book and I am so SO grateful for this! 😍 #booksky #writesky app.thestorygraph.com/book_reviews...

Five authors, at least five books: Gwyneth Rees Daisy Meadows Geronimo Stilton Junpei Inuzuka TJ Klune Yes, I'm aware that three of these are kidlit authors. 😆 I also realized, while writing this, that I could have added MYSELF to this list! #booksky #writesky

Honestly, get organized. Plan ahead, because I realized that not having a plan can make me get a *lot* less done this week. 😅 #WeeknightWriters

Getting life admin done is helpful. 😆 Also had a wonderful chat with an author and some good volunteer meetings. Also, getting TWO ARC readers for my upcoming kidlit book "Sadie Rowe And The Missing Necklace," which I didn't expect but it's good to have! #WeeknightWriters

Uh...honestly just trying to squeeze in more time to actually FOCUS and write like the wind. I got a bit off-course this week because of all the other life admin I had to get to, but I'm determined to get back on track this upcoming weekend! #WeeknightWriters

Holding up better than I thought I would! It was busy and I didn't get a lot of writing done (like last week, oops), but I've gotten other life priorities organized which is nice. #WeeknightWriters

[reading the thousandth or so fic of my favorite characters falling in love with each other] fic: and they fell in love with each other me, tears in my eyes: oh my GOD THEY FELL IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER 🥹

Question for my fellow authors: Do you consider YA to fall under the #kidlit category, or is it its own stage between children's books and books written for adults? What's confusing for me is that YA is meant to stand for "young adult," and how you define that varies. 🤔 #writesky #booksky
