My bouquet of flours for the holidays.

In the darkness there is still joy. So grateful for school visits and meeting my young readers. They have kept me going.

Hey, kidlit writers. I'd love to hear some of your best School Visit advice/truisms. I can start with, "If you are going to end your slideshow with pictures of your cats and dogs, be ready to only hear about everyone's cats and dogs...and rabbits and snakes and cows."

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

@debbieohi.bsky.social Have you played Wingspan? I got it for the holidays last year and we honestly couldn't figure it out. I've heard it is a brilliant game and want to play!

@kellybarnhill.bsky.social Just finished When Women Were Dragons and I want to fan girl all over you and then take to the skies! This is what brilliance reads like. Fierce and Lovely!

When your cat (and the Kansas Authors Club) approve of your work.

Book Birthday time! Really excited to unwrap this sweetie!

#Writers of Blue Sky. My author friend Donna Bowman is looking to learn some things about school visits and the authors who offer them. Please help her out by answering her survey. THANKS! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It's thunderstorming, so there was no morning walk. But Ollie thinks we just haven't tried going out the RIGHT door yet. #guilty #lookingforthebrightside

Had such a great time at the Kansas Literary Festival. And got to meet a MEOWSTERPIECES fan!

I'm working on chicken drawings today. They seem to be having a #mood.

Last day for 25% off preorder purchases.

Custom feeds are great but feature those who post a lot. Some people lack time and/or energy, so can only post occasionally. These quieter voices tend to be lost in a custom feed. Ability to create private Lists would help. If you agree, pls re-share post below or boost my Github request?👇🏼 Thx!

Closing summer with a blueberry pie. (Of course I'll probably be opening fall the same way.)

Lawful Evil. That tracks, but is there another level for "single malt"?

I've got some PB critiques (with 30-min zoom) up for bid at the Friends of Levine Querido auction. Really happy to offer this opportunity for such a great cause! www.32auctions.com/friendsforle...

Anyone else spend 1/2 hour deciding between the words "could" and "would" in their #WIP, or is that just me? #amwriting

Finally made it to the Light Side! Thanks @neglet.bsky.social for the invite. Feels like this:
