Okay, but for real, in 2020 this would've worked 100% of the time. 😂👑🧻

🤓 Say it with me:
We won't have adult readers without encouraging middle graders to read.
Children's literature is important! 👏👏👏

Truthfully, the only regret I have about my writing journey is that I didn't start sooner. 🥰✍️📖

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm quite pleased with the character voice in Foreverland thus far. I added 621 new words today. We're nearing the midpoint of the first draft, #WritingCommunity. Gotta keep the voice strong and the plot moving! Balance is the name of the game. 🥰

Huzzah! Great work!

I'm proud of myself. 🥰
Since 2020, I've written 3 books and published 2 through Kinkajou Press. I've engaged in author events/self-promotion even though it's difficult for me. I didn't give up on SM after a hacker stole my X account.
What are you proud of today, #WritingCommunity? 🧐

Anyone else get so excited while #drafting that you immediately want to share your unpolished WIP with any and all willing readers? 😅
I'm a better writer than my alpha draft suggests, I promise. BUT ISN'T THE IDEA COOL? 🥹

The image says "Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader--not the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon."

Do you agree or disagree? 🤔
And what is your best writing advice for evoking sensation in the reader, #WritingCommunity? 📖

Publishing:
You know how authors are introverts who translate their emotions/experiences into written words instead of having face-to-face conversations? Here's an idea.
What if they have to market themselves and a comprehensive list of their life's work to the public?

As a reader, when do you consider a book "old" (based on release date)? 🤔📖
