You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Anyone interested in writing Poems for Pets to support my local rescue? What's better than writing poetry about the adorable quirky pets in our lives and helping us rescue more animals? Please share

New release date... whenever my publisher gets to it 🤷

Planning a tattoo with one of my favorite artists who does all my weirdest pieces--see pug butthole-- and I referenced Salt Lake City Punk and he had no idea what I was talking about and then I remembered that I'm old.

"Don't Let's Start" for me, but I don't think there's a single song I don't like.

Subs close in less than a week!

Applied for a thing, even though my instinct is to self-reject.

How can we play this terribly, like abysmal, against an amazing D who should get all the credit, & still almost win. PS I can't stand Brady. Can't adapt if things aren't working. Basically every game we've won has been Josh going maniac in the 4th quarter to make up for Brady's shortcomings.

Does anyone want to read an ARC copy of book 3? I just got them, even though the release date is the 25th...🤔 #writesky #mgfiction #mgfantasy #writingcommunity #WIPSnips friends?

I'm in it for the activity pages.

We want to celebrate all the mags sharing our mission to give young students a voice. @litkidsmagazine.bsky.social

Congrats to all the amazing winners and honorable selections, including the kid pick. These are all so good! I hope you consider submitting to @nimblewitlit.bsky.social as we are open to submissions of poetry, short fiction, and art on the theme Trustworthy!

I'm sorry to have to say this, but #Frankenstein was mid.

#WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writesky I really love the strange bond between these two.

Indie Author Day 2025 @ the Buffalo library

#WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writesky From my #ya #scifi called Timewalkers or Alone in the Multiverse

I've hit 1 of those periods in life where I've got a lot going on, mostly good, & it's too much to process at once. I can't give anything my full attention. So everything is in stages of completion. I don't even think I have laundry done to go to the 2 events I'm meant to be at tomorrow. Send help!

#WIPSnips lots to choose from here, but I felt this passage really gets to the heart of my characters environment and frustration.

What a fantastic night writing poetry about camping with K-8 students! We did haikus, acrostics, odes, and limericks, and I even have a few kids interested in submitting the @nimblewitlit.bsky.social !

It's Literacy Night and I saw this in the library!

#WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writesky This is a WIP that has been buried for a long time bc 1) it needs a total rewrite and 2) dystopias died in the market

Huge thank you to everyone who allowed me to use their amazing poetry and stories about nature and camping for the literacy night at which I'm presenting tomorrow night. I truly appreciate your help!

I'm apparently V bad @ the internets & missed that winners were posted, & GUESS WHAT? I'm 1 of them! And I was hand picked by the amazing @alexgino.bsky.social, author of Melissa. I'm beyond excited. Thank you @lydialukidis.bsky.social & @kaitlynleann17.bsky.social & @professoraixa.bsky.social

6 picked this up somewhere..."I can feel it coming in the air tonight." 🎶 Singing it over and over and over...

#wipsnips #writingcommunity no burger, a lot of pizza tho... Going with food

Why did I assume detoxing my kid from screens would only be painful for him???

Take my word for it!

Moderate Democrats will never get it. They are so misaligned with the demands and the voices of Americans who were sending a very clear message. Goodbye to the only leverage they had.

#WIPSnips #writingcommunity #mg #ghosttrain

Props to @gcbwrites.bsky.social for being on top of it this issue! (I'm the only one who hasn't sent out any yet. 🫣

Thank Glob, an easy one. #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #horror #writesky

I had to.

Acrostic poems not you or your kid’s thing? Try this: Consider a metaphor or simile that symbolizes a relationship of trust and write a poem or story about it. Can this metaphor be represented in visual art? Submissions open through Nov 30! #EduSky #TLSky #KidLit #MomSky

Check @smokelong.bsky.social out!

I had such a blast answering these creative questions! Check it out!

When Mom comes in to sign me out, she looks frantic. Her movements are jittery and distracted. Her breathing is quick and shallow. The only thing she says to me is, “Come.” I obey like a pet collie. #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #mg #con

This is hilarious and awesome! And look at me hanging out with Robert Frost.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but it's so perfectly me. #tattoo #pug #pugbutt

As @chriscottom.bsky.social's biggest fan, I have to insist you read this! Congrats, my friend!

This is as close as I can possibly get to #penultimate. #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #scifi #lit "Final two years"

The only part of trends I worry much about is what not to write, like tabling the dystopian YA I took too long to finish. #kidlitchat

Help me pick a new #headshot for my website and author page.

Book 3 was supposed to come out tomorrow, and yes, stuff happens on the publisher's end, but you'd think they'd let me know what's going on since they have everything from me they need. #pubproblems
