The season passing is an important timeline element in my WIP, so the heat is mentioned pretty often in Acts 1 and 2A. #WIPSnips #amwriting #amediting #amrevising #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Heart-shaped art in the foam of a small cup on a grey saucer, sitting on a white table next to a notepad and pen.
A break in the writing routine to shake things up. #amrevising #writing

Had the best time at @boydsmills.bsky.social last week surrounded by kidlit creators, good food, the flora and fauna of the Pocono Mt, and inspiration! Perfect place to make headway on my #PB #WIP. #amwriting #amrevising #kidlit #authorlife

My amazing editor is having a contest! This is how I met her, ten years ago. I kind of hate to tell you about her . . . ;) #amrevising #amwriting #giveaway www.deareditor.com/2026/04/free...

Gas lamps felt closer than regular lamps I guess 😂 Ryo’s plan to sneak Rin into the spirit world just took an unexpected turn…and she’s going to have to work a little harder to pull it off. #WIPSnips #amwriting #amediting #amrevising #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Some students have been beta reading my first revision, and even though that’s skewed by proximity, their excitement and positive reactions have been sweet ❤️ Looking forward to working on revisions when all the beta feedback comes in. #writesky #writingcommunity #amwriting #amrevising #amediting

Tetsuya can be hard to find, but luckily Ryo’s mission in the human world forced him to get a cell phone 😂 #WIPSnips #amwriting #amrevising #amediting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

I'm working on revising the last pb manuscript from the Feb. 26 Big Sur Writer's Conference. @kirstenwlarson.bsky.social was my favorite mentor. As we discussed picturebooks, she said, "It's always about the emotion."

I was surprised that almost all of my uses were stuffing hands in pockets lol
Rin’s childhood friend Jiro dislikes Ryo instantly.

You can keep your beta readers. I just sent the 2nd draft of my new mystery TO MY GROUP CHAT, the one bunch I know will absolutely roast anything that deserves it. And maybe a few things that don’t. Revision is not for the faint of heart! #writesky #cozymystery #amrevising

I feel like I'm having one of those "discovered 10000 ways how not to make a lightbulb" and .... it's both a relief and incredibly frustrating that I spent a week and a half trying to fix a chapter that was probably fine to begin with. #AmWriting #AmRevising #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

A nine-panel image collage of Kermit the Frog dolls in distressed situations, with the center image caption reading: me when i’m writing. Images include Kermit with tears, lying on fire, and using an oxygen mask.
Literally on the 9th version of this chapter and I think it's FINALLY right. 🙃🙃

I know it's not a big deal, but I had an old document that I was revising and it had straight quotes and smart quotes. To fix it, FIND, REPLACE quote with quote, and now they are all the same.
