The Queen Anne’s Lace is in full bloom! It always reminds me of my precious mother-in-law who’s gone onto her heavenly home.

Ewww! So sorry, Brian. Your pitches are fantastic! I haven't attended any pitch events until the past month because of being agented previously, but today's event is so disappointing. I haven't seen one agent or editor say they were even attending. So sad.

Are there any #kidlit #pitch events here at Bluesky, yet? I will be pitching tomorrow on the very last #PBPitch event on X tomorrow. I am hoping there will be a good showing for the founders, @debrakshumaker.bsky.social and PJ McIlvaine working tirelessly for the #kidlit community for 9 years!

I’m not upset at all, just totally confused. Social media is getting to be so overwhelming and I would love to be a part of this community and I am just trying to figure it out. I didn’t mean for it to sound like I was upset. I read the instructions and was still confused, but will try again.

OK, after some feedback from some professionals in the publishing business… I am rethinking my character for my book. I would love your input. Which do you prefer with my friendship elephant story set in Africa and why? ❤️🐘

I turned 62 last week and I am trying to embrace my age but with social media it’s sometimes difficult to not use a filter. I am realizing it’s just so great to be healthy! I’ve been cancer free for 15 years as of April 24 and I am so grateful to be alive!
