He ain't wrong #invisibledisability #chronicillness

Okay but why do I have to confirm that I'm a human to pay a bill? Is AI out there paying anyone's bills? Cus that I could get behind. #sendmethemoneyprintingrobots #noAI #unlesstheywanttopaymybills

So they're acting stealing from us and killing the earth AND not even giving us what they promised. Big surprise. #noAI

The #PBParty entry is in!!! GOOD LUCK to all! And that wraps up a month of contests - whew! Okay. Back to focusing on the Kickstarter... 🐢 #kidlit

Okay but there is NOTHING in the world like having a skittish cat decide to trust you enough to curl up into a ball right on top of you, close their eyes, and start purring #catmom #bliss #nevermovingfromthisspot

"Your opinions about color palettes are legally binding" lol nice It was more difficult than I expected What's My JND? 0.0059 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

I just want to know two things. Who designed the pickup lines at my kid's schools and why do they hate people?

Not sure if it's more fun to watch the new season of the live action One Piece or to watch my One Piece obsessed teen watching it 🏴‍☠️

I just have to say that, after all of the contests I've entered, it is STILL utterly terrifying to put myself out there. But my first entry is in! Good luck to all!! #PBRisingStars #kidlit

So my kid brings home a box of erasers that her teacher "didn't want anymore" and there was one single tiny turtle in the mix... that she said I should have because it looked like Toby. Ugh my heart 💚🐢 [Toby is the name of the turtle in my book] #kidlit #momlife

I am literally sick to my stomach and I can honestly no longer tell if it's because I caught the bug going around my kid's school or because I can't stop reading the news

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

So I was typing up something in Word that said that "I was unagented" and Word considered "unagented" to not be a real word and suggested I change it to "untalented." Not cool, Microsoft. Not cool. #kidlit #amwriting

Here's a SNEAK PEEK at my new book! There's even more at www.kickstarter.com/projects/ros...

Watching an old crime drama on tv and these FBI agents are very passionate about hunting down human trafficers and ped0philes and putting them in jail for life and man it's wild to imagine consequences for illegal actions

Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairytales....... Like our music doesn't belong on the oldies station. #ButThe90sWereOnlyAFewYearsAgo

✨I am SO EXCITED to announce my newest picture book: IT WASN'T THE MOON!✨ This book is both written & illustrated by me. 🐢 I'm launching it with a pre-order campaign through Kickstarter - and you can check it out right now! ➡ www.kickstarter.com/projects/ros... #picturebooks #kidlit #kickstarter

Watching Sandokan... PROS: seeing a fun pirate show set in an interesting location CONS: having a very specific theme song stuck in my head for dayyyyyysssssss san-do-CAN la la la la la la la.........

I love how cats sniff and nudge at your hands with disbelief like this IS your hand correct? So why is it JUST SITTING THERE when it could be PETTING ME?? #catmom

How am I supposed to get ANY work done when the cat curls up on my lap and purrs loud enough to vibrate my bones?? #amwriting #wellimtrying

It's been a really long time since I've lived somewhere that has been freezing or near freezing for so many days in a row. I'm not used to it. Florida has warmed my blood. Tried to remember how I used to deal with it. Remembered I owned scarves. Currently waiting for my scarf's effects to kick in.

Make TWO trips with groceries from the car to the house!? My good sir, that arm has been numb for decades. There is no going back. #igotthis

I ordered some cosmetics for my kid and one of the graphics read "vital on tiktok" and I've decided that I now shall describe myself as such #autocorrectwin #goingvital

Anybody else got the heat turned way up and is all snuggled up with multiple blankets and a heating pad and also a big bowl of comfort ice cream? Just me? #itscold #flurriesinflorida #icecreamisgoodinallweathers

So either the E is broken or this scrolling marquee has some serious concerns for our country. #metoosignmetoo

So sometimes the funsize box has 4 milk duds and sometimes it only has 3 milk duds and that feels really unfair and anyway I don't recommend doomscrollng after discovering the forgotten leftover halloween candy stash

So I was driving and I looked to the side and my neck did NOT crack or pop and I was so surprised that I was actually scared something was wrong for a min #invisibledisability #hsd #thecrackisalreadyback

So our dog is a gentle soul but also 75 lbs of pure muscle, and she will NOT let us cut her nails. So we give her drugs from the vet to calm her, bring her in, the vet takes her back... 3 people unsuccessfully try to hold her. She "screams, kicks, barrel rolls, and sprays pee everywhere." (1/2)

Sooo... reminder that when you use the Replace function in Word it's kinda sorta important to make sure you're paying attention to your spelling 😬 #amwriting

Today I tried to tap my notebook paper with 2 fingers to erase a pencil line I'd just made. Tell me you use Procreate without telling me you use Procreate.... #artlife #amdrawing #kidlit

So my kid normally takes the bus but today she has an appointment and so I get in the carline only to find out she accidentally got on the bus, which should just give me nornal worries about being late or wasting gas but instead... 1/2

Tbh I'm wondering what the ancient yuletide carols did to deserve all this trolling

All I'm saying is that when it's 47 degrees outside when I wake my kids and 82 degrees when they get out of school ON THE SAME DAY my nervous system is highly confused #floridalife #isthisautumn #whatishappening #iamhotandcoldatthesametime

For something a little different, I decided to try painting a self portrait in procreate! 🎨 Thoughts?? Favorite?? I'm not sure if the "background" elements enhance it or not... #kidlit #kidlitart

Loving the Trick-or-Treating so far! Have y'all checked out the Seasons of Kidlit blog this year?? 📖 This one has an amazing treat! 🎃 www.seasonsofkidlit.com/post/trick-o... #kidlit #amwriting

Y'all remember how the old guy in "The Holiday" gets lost because new stuff was built and he didn't recognize how things looked?? Yeah. Imma need businesses around where I live to stop building new shops. Thanks.

I would like to announce that I went to the local Blick Art store AND I stayed within my budget. Yes thank you, applause is acceptable 👏 🎨

Who else is excited??? It's almost time!! 🥳 Okay so, I'll be at Comic Con all weekend BUT I can't wait for the replays!!! 📚💖

New blog post! I'm adding a section of WRITING TIPS to my blog, and today I'm talking about where to find names for all the characters in your stories! 📖 #kidlit #amwriting #writingtips Check it out: rosemarylynnbooks.com/for-writers/...

Can't remember the last time I was up all night unable to sleep. Do you think it's due to the radiofrequency abulation I had on my back yesterday morning? Or eating ALL of my feelings out of a box of Publix sugar cookies? Or existential dread?? Gonna go with cookies. That feels safe.

Removing fake nails is a great reminder to me as to why I don't get fake nails very often.
