I loved what Ada Limon had to say about writer's block in her talk at #NCTE24 today: "It is not so much that you don't have anything to say; it's that you have so much to say." We have to take time to sort through the overwhelmingness of it all, time to let one good idea at a time shine through.

When the kids ask, “Have you met the Smile lady?” I can finally say, “YES!” So excited for this new book collaboration with Scott McCloud! @goraina.bsky.social #ncte24 #NCTE #kidlit
