- My first school visit is in the books! And it was SO FUN.
- #KidLitChat Laura Shovan is one of my agent siblings. And she's excellent! So check this out!
- #KidLitChat Happy Book Birthday! How exciting!
- #KidLitChat After the initial draft, I reverse outline my work, check it against Save the Cat Write's a Novel to see if any beats are super super short or long, and then I also work through the character arc using K.M. Weiland's creating character arcs to see whether I'm missing anything big.

- #KidLitChat But really... I call my first draft my trash draft. So that I can keep writing and finish it and be ok with it feeling... bad. Then I flesh that out. And since I write primarily verse novel, I'm always going back and forth between poetic and story, and balancing the momentum of both.
- #KidLitChat Hi friends! Joining you from recently thawed South Carolina where we've just had two more snow days, after two snow days and several late start days last week!
- In the past week and a half 4 school days have been snow days. The weekend before those began was an ice storm, and my spouse was out of state, and one child came down with the stomach bug. Then the following week another child dealt with the stomach bug. Starting February with fear and trembling.
- This is horrendous. It has to STOP.

- Whether I will make it to #KidLitChat is up in the air. I was up with a kindergartner 3-4 times an hour from midnight to 5am as the stomach bug pummeled her. If I manage a nap this afternoon…maybe.
