OK, somebody help me. Who is this guy in the lower left corner of this peanuts gang throw? I know everybody else on this blanket, but who the heck is this dude?

I had my first painting class today. It was so much fun.

This app is so all over the place on my iPad. sometimes it’s half cut off sometimes it flips from portrait to landscape on its own. Is it just me?

@whinknee.bsky.social Hi Whitney! Thanks for the follow. So happy to meet you sort of, lol. I was just perusing your website. I believe I will have a project coming soon. And when I do I hope we can work together.

I love this overview

Early sunset bring me joy.

Snow snow snow snow SNOW! It won’t be long before we’ll all be there with snow. Time to watch the Christmas movies. #WhiteChristmas

Oh, how I dream of the day that I get to work with an amazing art director as I bring one of my manuscripts to life. Dear God, it’s me Angel. Are you listening?

Have you gotten your #costume for the party? #ABLArtfest @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

Why am I obsessed with Ame Dyckman books! Especially, Horrible Bear. I study her work like I’m still in college. This is what every little kid I know is getting for Christmas. I might need therapy.

When Rex, a no nonsense dog, hears something that makes him question whether life outside is better than his cushie life as an inside dog, he has to find out if it’s true. So he sets off on an adventure OUT IN THE WILD. #skypitch #authorillustrator #pb

Does anyone know what time this pitch event ends?

Why have I fallen in love with old-fashioned names like Harriet, Haddie, and Hansel. I need some triplets.

When Olive begins school at The Little Gray Schoolhouse, all she wants is to fit in. But after initially pretending to be something that she isn’t, she decides to follow her heart and be true to herself. Because, it’s nice to fit in, but it’s also okay to stand out. #skypitch #pb

In “WHAT TEETH LIKE TO EAT” learn all the secrets about teeth and their unknown snacking habits. Secrets like, teeth don’t actually like healthy snacks like fruits and veggies. But they do love sticky, stretchy taffy. Shhhhh! #skypitch #authorillustrator #pb

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #747,906!

@ksonnack.bsky.social Hi Kelly! I just had a question. On your MSWL it says you’re looking for author/ illustrators of picture books and graphic novels. But in query manager those options aren’t there for genre selection. Does that mean you’re no longer looking for those?

I love writing and illustrating chapter books! I hate that there are so few editors buying them. #chapterbooks #amwriting #illustrator

BOOK REVIEWS! TOWN IS BY THE SEA by Joanne Schwartz illustrated by Sydney Smith. BLOOM by Julia Seal MARY WEARS WHAT SHE WANTS by Keith Begley PARKER PETERZAK by @attcreates.bsky.social illustrated by Brittany Moodie. Don't forget to get your own reviews and library requests in!

Where oh where are the editors who like sweet little slice of life rhyming books? Anyone know? #publishing #kidlit #authorillustrator

I had two homemade gluten-free vegan oatmeal raisin cookies for breakfast. They were quite delicious so I think that I need at least two more homemade gluten-free vegan oatmeal raisin cookies for lunch. Is that unreasonable? 🍪

Someone please come and tune my ukulele. It sounds horrendous. Or maybe I just suck.

My fantasy backyard

When editors read stories written by marginalized people, can they stop expecting those stories to always center around marginalization. Can people just live? Why do editors want books by Black people to be about black trauma? Can’t I write about a black boy and his platypus?

Hi! Author promo moment! Did you know I have two picture books out? If you like the ocean, science, fossils, or strong girls, these are for you! I have two more books coming out in 2024 and will be sharing more on them very soon! #art #kidlit #kidlitart 🐡🦑 #author

Happy #Humpday people. You’re almost there wherever your there is. Don’t stop. When life gets hard, just dance. Keep moving. #justdance #keepgoing #kidlit

I’m actually missing fireworks season. So I made my own. #kidlitillustrator #kidlit #fireworks #drawingdaily

I’m finally loving who this little day dreaming 12 year old has turned into. My little kid self always knew who I was actually supposed to grow up to be.

What is cooler? Airplanes or trains? I really want a model train set in my office. #kidlit #airplanes #planestrainsandautomobiles

Thinking about doing some yoga but… #yoga #kidlit #illustrator

Patience is not my strong suit. Is there an over the counter remedy for that? #waiting #kidlit #writerslife
