- Reposted by Stacey BAs an author, remember: - Your writing will always look different the next day. - Remove each obstacle, one at a time. - Keep going. Keep Writing. - Many times, even though you don't realize it, your #writing is ok for the current draft that it is in. - Wrtr #AmWriting #Writer #Author #BookSky

- Reposted by Stacey BToday! Make sure you use the correct hashtag (don't forget the ART part in #KidLitArtPostcard). Also try to remember to use alt-text! Not only does it help those who use screen readers & neurodivergent but it can help your post get discovered.
- Tomorrow is the last #KidLitArtPostcard of 2025. My holiday wish is for #kidlit editors, agents, and art directors to connect with illustrators right here on Bluesky. I can't wait to see everyone's art tomorrow! Learn more at: www.ginaperry.com/postcard

- Reposted by Stacey BOK, #kidlit illustrators, help me shop for Christmas! My nephew (8) likes drawing, so I want to get him some art supplies and a book or 2. I’d like to find something that helps him build core skills. Or are the How to Draw X books just as good? (He’s a bit of a perfectionist when following videos.)
