Yes! His drawing of one of the habitats made me rewrite part of it. So fun!
Absolutely!
My son is making these and it's so fun to see him translate what I've written into a drawing
In my novel, the MC sketches as he learns about the Conservatory, and my son is actually making them, like this map of the Atrium. It well represents where I am: I have everything labeled, I know what direction everything is in, and I am oriented. But none of it is real yet.

My camp dreams: find more awesome people to share stories with (one of the bonus benefits of writing this story is connecting with other writers, who are curious and creative by their very nature), find more critique partners, and cheer each other on.

Hello fellow campers! I am querying THE MYTHICAL CREATURE CONSERVATORY, a MG fantasy mythology mash-up.
What if mythological creatures ceased to exist when we stop telling their stories? A very anxious kid named Jack must prevent their extinction at a magical Conservatory.

Scanxiety is real
For a long time, I thought I could only be a plotter. That left me with dozens of unfinished pieces. One day, I decided to try pantsing. Now I have a complete novel that I am super proud of.
Only one way to find out!
I did not. Thank you!
Today was a big day!

My aunt, who has no interest in KidLit, line edited my entire manuscript. She used to teach English and is excellent in grammar, so that was a huge help. And it was really nice to have her support. ๐ฅฐ
