Are there any kidlit style world builders on here? Like cartoony or “not so serious” stories you’re telling in increments online? I’d love to connect with you! I’m building a world out right now that’s like kidlit meets dungeons and dragons!

Applied for 2 PB mentorships this summer! Cannot say how supportive the process has been. Zoom calls, application help, discord groups, little messages in app… Thank you Layla, Ebony, & Kailei! Only regret is I hadn’t found you before. Best of luck for you all in your next chapter 🧡💙 #pbrisingstars

Talking w/a friend about surrounding yourself with people who are further along/higher in a career or talent than you. This is what can change in a single years time when you’re motivated to learn & improve! 2020 vs 2021 *Do you have anything you’ve gone back to and improved? #kidlit #kidlitart
