Good night, #KidLitChat peeps! I had a blast.

You're making me salivate and I finished dinner and hour ago. Lol!

YES!!!

🤣🤣🤣

Salt and strawberries doesn't sound half bad. I enjoy basalmic vinegar with 🍓.

Ooo! Thanks.

How did you know what agent I referenced? 😆😂
#KidLitChat

Exactly, 💯%!

Can't go wrong with homemade ice cream.

Simple is a huge bonus! Love it!

Beautiful! Looks delicious too. 😋

Lately, some agent posts are quite informative, spotlighting the roller-coaster ride middle-grade is taking.

Yes, @middlegradehub.bsky.social has done a lot of good things for me and my writing. 💜

Gorgeous! 😍 I love the arrangement. You've got another talent.

Picture or it hasn't bloomed. 😆

I ditto this and add reading as many Amazon book samples in my genre as possible. And of course, read those that grab my attention.

Thank you!

Nobody can stop me from using the em-dash.
Also, I've always admired your writing. It's full of life and intimate as if I'm sitting in the same room.

For me it all boils down to want, need, and motivation. If all three are there, the scene hums. #KidLitChat

I feel the same. Submission package work is the worst.

I'm way late to the party, but it's good for the soul to vocalize accomplishments. I got through the toughest revision to date, but I not only got through it, I learned a lot about the craft and myself in the process.

How exciting! Congratulations to all. What a great pairing.

Good choice.

Definitely deserves the spotlight.

Wow! That's pretty darn cool.

Also, we can't talk about childhood favorites without mentioning Dr.Suess.

Put me in the Zoo
Green Eggs and Ham

Come on....
So good.

I love the story behind the story. What a good sister you have.
