To me, this is a weapon, a tool, a symbol of the work it took to achieve my dream of becoming an author and the day-to-day labor it takes to remain one. To my dog it's a cool stick she stole off my nightstand and took into her crate to gnaw.

Grateful for every day 💪🏻🩷

I hope to see you this Saturday!

Happy book birthday to @emmykastner.bsky.social's So Tortoise Dug!

Being an author means having the audacity to believe you have something worth saying, the humility to take feedback & rewrite til you say it right, the vulnerability to put a piece of yourself into the world, & the toughness to weather the rejection that comes. - Why every author needs a therapist

There is still time to buy books!

This, but with an added note: if you don't have a local indie, know that many independent bookstores will ship nationwide, so you can still support a small business 😉

When you ask people about the books that changed their lives, they almost always mention a children's book. They're the books that make us readers, shape us at the deepest levels, and stay with us FOREVER. That's why I think children's books are the most important books of all! #kidlit #books

I made you something…

Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.

At the risk of reading too much into Bluesky’s success at the moment, I do think it’s a signal that people don’t want to be surrounded by bots and manipulated algorithms AI can only go so far. We want human connection.

There is NO downside here! Read for fun. Read for curiosity. Read whatever you want.

Ai cannot produce anything original. Human art is where it’s at. Ethical, imperfect art with a soul is what we want. #noAi #madewithhumanintellegence

Looking to connect with KidLit Events and Resources right here on Blue Sky? There are so many here to check out and the list is growing! I also have a #KidLitEvents list on my website or subscribe to a list of upcoming events sent directly to your Inbox every Thursday. go.bsky.app/Cb46ric

I'm new here and excited to give out all the virtual bear hugs I can! #kidlitart #kidlit #illustration

My agency is not yet on Bluesky, but I figured it’d be nice to put together a starter pack of the authors and/or illustrators of BookEnds Literary who’ve already made it here. Say hi to my agency siblings! #starterpack #booksky #kidlit go.bsky.app/Uw5hJaE

My husband is visiting pandas IN CHENGDU, CHINA, without me, but at least I get to wake up to cute pics like this one...and now you do, too! 💕
