It’s easy to get attached to the first thing you draw because it takes so much time and heart. But it’s better if you keep trying new things until your art sings.

When I was a little kid, I used to dream of swimming under the water like a mermaid. So, when I read the prompt for the December/January
#scbwidrawthis
, I knew exactly what to do - explore the deep sea with a mermaid and her friends!

It’s
#kidlitartpostcard
day today and I’m not in a good mood. I have this image and the thought did cross my mind about a thunder bird storming justice on the United States right now. I have a feeling that not even weather devastation would stop the violence 😓

This Insta discussion from an editor and sensitivity reader reminds me of our conversation last night in
#kidlitchat
. I feel like sometimes publishing DOES want diversity for diversity’s sake, because real diversity is uncomfortable, or “unrelatable.”
