We got a logo! 🙌 We did it, everyone! 🎁 Merry Christmas! 🎁

At a Chinese buffet. Pretty much sums up my daughter -

Anyone notice that Scribd changed their name & logo this week? Looks like Scribd became a “digital document library” & moved everything else to Everand. Very weird to make this huge change & not even mention it in their emails!

Woohoo! My story won 1st place in my SCBWI region's writing contest!! ⭐🏆⭐ Congrats to everyone on the list! twitter.com/SCBWI_SoBree...

I'm about to hit my 1,000 day Duolingo streak and... I think I'm going to stop after that? I've learned a lot about sentence structure, but it really doesn't teach grammar or vocab well (at least for Japanese). Looking forward to spending more time with other programs.

I know a lot of features are on their way, but you know what BlueSky could really use right now - a freaking LOGO. (How does it not have one already?) Granted, you'd probably have to avoid anything with a cloud... and the BS initials aren't great, but I think we could throw something together!

I've put off joining anything new, but let's give BlueSky a try! Really hoping for it's success. Let's open this place up already!
