#KidLitChat The Time change has really thrown me this year. And I had to sleep right during this chat. 😴

But catching up now!

I’m going to #Yallfest Friday/Saturday! I think proximity and cost both affect that decision for me.

Do I have any friends here on BlueSky planning to be at #Yallfest this weekend?

I'm planning to be there. And looking forward to hanging out with Kendra@readappalachia.bsky.social over the weekend.

Especially excited for @hannsawyerr.bsky.social and @ambsmcbride.bsky.social sessions. Love #NIV!

Finished a new draft of my pilot this morning! I’m so excited for our table read at the Yes And Laughter Lab Festival #yallfest in April. YALL centers comedians working for social change—because comedy can change the world!

#KidLitChat I mean, it worked with #YallFest #YallWest right? Surely there is some beautiful secluded spot for all kinds of Kid Lit focused writing inspiration!

Sketching at #YALLfest (Last slide is my favorite.)

I only managed to attend one panel as an audience member — and I have no doubt I was at the most inspiring session of the entire fest. David Levithan has been running the LGBTQIA+ AMA for over a decade.

Friday of #Yallfest was a full moon and that light on the water in the harbor just danced. I couldn’t catch it on camera, but this photo of the fountain came out beautifully.

Being at #YALLFest always reminds me that my one true love is fiction. I really love writing and I'd love to be published one day!

I had the best time with you love. The foods, the Pier, Book signings, checking out bookstores especially ‘Sweeter than Fiction’ ahhh. #yallfest 2024 was the absolute best. 💙

In the middle of the audiobook presentation (where I volunteered for reading 😬) I got a text from Anna Munger saying "Nice job!" And whipped around so fast to find her! ❤️

Oh my goodness. It was so exciting to hear how stoked people were for @authoramberc.bsky.social’s #Yallfest. She just debuted with Fortune’s Kiss. *covers face* I have not yet read it. BUT having read her MG adventure (which someone needs to pick up right away!) I’m sure it’s just as exciting!

Here’s the podcast pitch. It’s just Adam Silvera reacting to my ADHD flow of stories of my childhood trauma. I’ll call it OH, THAT REMINDS ME…

Also the way #Yallfest has inspired me to try to get some book ideas moving and write something again. It’s so inspiring to hear about other author’s journey and creative processes!!

Y’all — that was a lot of fun! Thank you to all who attended the #YALLfest panel on graphic novels! For those that missed out, check out the second slide. This was the welcome screen that kicked off the visual portion of our presentation. Can you match the childhood photo with the author photo?
