I need coffee before beginning March's draft, but I am excited to start a new story. #12x12 #kidlit #pb

It does seem to all happen at once!

It seems to be the time of year for some great writing contests. Did you enter any?

TOPIC: Let's talk process. Do you start at the beginning of ideas and power through? Do you just work on whatever hits your mind? Are you a plotter or a pantser? Spill the beans (and give tips) here at #kidlitchat

I usually watch the images in my mind or there will be phrases that I write down and wait for more. I jump around based on what I feel like writing.

@mfmwrites.bsky.social

Will do!
