This book means so much to me. The Bridge to Nowhere started as a story about grief—but it became one about hope.
It’s officially out now. 💙

Cover of The Bridge to Nowhere by Sarah Burr. Silhouettes of a woman and a man playing a guitar above a bridge with strange, ghostly light coming off it and in front of a flowery Dia de Los Nuertos skull.
I just got the cover of The Bridge to Nowhere out next month! I’m super excited about it! I’m thrilled with how it turned out! #writing #writingcommunity #paranormalromance
#kidlitchat is here again, as regular as the tides (though without the same, long history). Every Tuesday at 9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific, including tonight, we #kidlit lovers gather and chat, now here on Bluesky (where we signed up before the tides, I must note). I hope you'll join us!
Congratulations!
Fun! I haven't been to a ren faire in a long time but really enjoyed them as a teenager. #kidlitchat
That looks really cool! #kidlitchat
So glad everything turned out well! Congratulations on your book. #kidlitchat
Congratulations!
Doesn't it, though? Septembers have a way of sneaking up on you.
That sounds really fun! Congratulations! #kidlitchat
That's great! At the beginning of the year, I thought about launching another kickstarter, but kind of lost steam. Maybe I'll look at it again. I really enjoyed the first one (when it was done; it was a little anxiety provoking at certain points, lol.) #kidlitchat
Congratulations!
Beautiful cover! #kidlitchat
That's awesome! I did a kickstarter years ago (sounds like on a much smaller scale) and it flet so good to get everything finished and sent out. Good for you! #kidlitchat
Wow! That's Amazing! Congratualations! #kidlitchat
Great cover!
Congratulations! Thats so much. Somehow with that and the names of a couple of your stories, I'm picturing a squirrel spinning plates. Way to go! #kidlitchat
Congratualations on your re-retirement (and your final edits!) #kidlitchat
Fun! What genre of YA?
#kidlitchat I went to Storymakers conference & spoke to 2 agents about 2 novels. I revised the query letter for one, am doing another pass and plan to keep querying. I'm planning to self-publish the other. Also, I'm in the planning process of cowriting a time-loop nursery rhyme tie-in with a friend.
The Punch Up you Fight Scenes class at Storymakers Conference. Thank you Brandon Chambers and Colby Dunn. This needs to be a 3 hour workshop! #writing #writingcommunity

Music and musicians. I get obsessed with different bands and music and it makes its way into my writing. Time and time again there’s at least one musician character in each of my novels, and if someone’s a musician there’s gotta be at least one scene of a performance, right? #kidlitchat
raylan, from the show justified: 'if you run into an asshole in the morning - you ran into an asshole. if you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.'
dear eternally crunchy brethren and sistren who rail about the world on a daily basis without taking a breath of respite, i do think it will help you to take these immortal words to heart and grow.
suffering from acute main character syndrome is an affliction you can beat, i promise.
My advice for emerging artists and pros alike: it’s time for in person events.
The industry and community is scattered and algorithms are currently siloing us off.
Go to cons, festivals, screenings + launches, and other art events.
While social media is still shifting, invest in face to face.

Yeah, actually I’ve decided to try it again and just see how it goes because I’ve been spinning my wheels with my current WIP. Wish me luck.🤞
But since then, I haven’t been able to plot even at that level. I find it sort of soul sucking and de-motivating. I kinda wish I could plot so I could avoid the structural issues that require major revisions after the first draft.
The first novel I wrote I sort of plotted. I’d read a blog post that suggested taking a book you like and writing a phrase to encapsulate each chapter like, “POV meets a mysterious stranger,” “POV goes on a trip,” “POV is disappointed,” etc, and then use those to write a completely different book.
