Oooh this sounds like a great resource for #kidlit and #kidlitart. Thanks @100scopenotes.bsky.social!

Oh, not at all! You have to give me partial credit for the 70s vibe, though. 😀 #kidlitchat

I can't believe the hour's gone already! Thank you all. Tuesday nights are special. :-) See you next time!

I have a regular rotation of toppings, lol. My favorite is a mock Nicoise with tuna and bolied potato. #kidlitchat

They've shown up on my next-door-neighbor's backyard camera--I've never seen them. We have a lot of construction going on right now, though, so wildlife is very scarce, except for owls and hawks. #kidlitchat

ANYTHING GOES
#kidlitchat

Awww! We get the occasional coyote, but no deer. #kidlitchat

Don't knock it till you've tried it. #kidlitchat

I put sliced strawberries on chef salad. #kidlitchat

I have that one bookmarked. :-)

One way to keep up with #kidlit info right here on Bluesky is by checking the Kidlit Mega Feed! bsky.app/profile/did:... #kidlitchat

Well . . . that happens. :-/
#kidlitchat

Look at you with the 70s reference! #kidlitchat

That's why it pays to hang on to those "vintage" manuscripts--you never know when fresh inspiration will hit! #kidlitchat

So glad you're working on it again! #kidlitchat

I'm betting on #Hoot!
#kidlitchat

O.O
#kidlitchat

Yikes. #kidlitchat

TOPIC: How and where do you keep up with the news, reviews, and people in our business? Is your work informed by what you learn - trends, gaps, what’s selling or not - or do you just like to keep current? Or… other? #kidlitchat

Coming up on another #kidlitchat at the top of the hour! [9E/6P] See you there!

Thanks! That makes more sense to me. :-)

Quick question: for a MG critique, if you're asked to send a one-page synopsis in the SAME file with the first 10 pages of your manuscript (so, 11 pages total), would you put the synopsis first or last? I'm used to subbing PBs and haven't got a clue! #kidlit

Looks great--just registered!

Thank you all for a lovely hour, on what was otherwise a pretty stressful day. Keep doing what you do. See you next time! #kidlitchat

It will add a layer of truth to the story, even if readers aren't aware of your efforts! #kidlitchat

I'm trying to work on this, too! Actually, what happens is, I fall in love with my pencil sketches, so I need to find a way to make THEM the final art. Consistently.
#kidlitchat

I NEED THIS DELICIOUS THING RIGHT NOW
#kidlitchat

Interesting. I really enjoyed converting one of my stories to GN format--mostly dialogue. I was thinking I might enjoy scriptwriting. #kidlitchat

YES!
#kidlitchat

LOL #kidlitchat
