“...Into the Gray[...] weaves a story of love, loss, and the magic of in-between places. [...]A compelling heartfelt journey about family, sisterhood, friendship, and how letting go—even when it's the hardest thing to do—is a kindness we all deserve." -Ally Malinenko, author of This Appearing House

“There are many things we are uncertain of on this planet, like what happens after death, the possibility of life outside our solar system, and the existence of lesbian sheep” from Bianca Torre is Afraid of Everything by Justine Pucella Winans Such a good first line imo. #kidlitchat

Today I visited the library to pick out some very epic early middle grade graphic novels, and now I’m gonna start studying them in preparation for my “Brittany and Timmy” graphic novel project! 🥳

Shedding 2025 and getting some 2026 scales!

Brittany looks so cute here!!!! Wocky did such an epic job!!! 🥳

For first drafts, I tend to have a basic understanding of how I want the story to end. It isn’t a super detailed ending, but enough of an idea for me to know when to stop writing. I do find the ending and overall plot of my stories get more detailed the more I draft #kidlitchat

Painitte on Instagram drew this really cute piece of my characters Brittany, Timmy, Poppy, and Sally as a part of a Secret Santa exchange I’m a part of!

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

I hope this is true! It would be epic to get some Christmas movie collabs

I created this edit of my characters Brittany, Timmy, and Poppy using Fusion 9! The end result looks pretty funky.

Writers, especially those who write kidlit, I think we need to have a conversation about using parents not telling their child something to “protect them” and why this doesn’t really work especially today. Does this happen? Yes. And do we see it continuing to happen? Yes. ….

Such an epic fanfic! I plan on revisiting this audio drama during the winter break

Usually when I’m planning out my stories I use a basic “beginning, middle, end” kinda thing. I don’t do anything too specific other than that. But I find the structure of my stories get better with each piece of feedback I get. #kidlitchat

I do pay attention to trends, especially when someone has made a bunch of graphs about publishing. I love looking at analytics! But trends don’t impact my writing or art. I create depending on what comes to me and what I feel personally connected to, that way my work can feel real. #kidlitchat

#kitlitchat These are some pretty epic questions! Personally I think a great holiday tie-in book is one that fits in with the themes for each holiday. For Halloween it’s all spooky and creepy, for Christmas it’s joy and togetherness, ect. (1/4)

I know I'm missing context but children deserve art, and they deserve adults who act like there is a future. If trans and queer people are making that art, it is already in and of itself an act of protest in our climate. Imagine saying writing for children is "selling out" in this age of book bans.

#kidlitchat I have a little bit of experience with each of these things, but the ones I have the most confidence with is log lines and synopses. I wrote a bunch of them, and with the feedback I got from some epic writers I’m definitely getting better at them. 1/4
