You don't have to be an expert in poetry to be poet.

It's ZERO degrees (F) outside. It's warming up!

I'm a part of this poetry anthology being published by Bandersnatch Books, and you can too by backing the kickstarter! It's going to be a gorgeous finished book with poems from over 60 poets and full color illustrations! kickstarter.com/projects/bande…

I just looked at yesterday's to-do list and scoffed at my lack of productivity, but then I remember that I wrote THREE poems and finished a sketch for an illustration spread, and now I feel better.

Three school visits scheduled during Read Across America week. One down, two to go. One of the best things about this job!

Today's pie of choice: Coconut cream! How about you? (Though this bear has apple) #PiDay2025

I sent a query today! Which should have taken a few minutes (20 at the most?) but it took over an hour because of me obsessing over every detail. But...I sent a query today!

The surest sign of spring is when the ants go marching one by one through my living room again.

The weather is weird today, so I wrote a haiku: Bright flash, thunder booms Sleet and snow whip in the wind Winter-spring tug-o-war #Haiku

I'm on Bluesky now (rebeccajgomez), in case you'd like to follow me there.

All of my current book projects take place in winter.

I'm a long time kidlit author, now author-illustrator working in a blend of analog and digital media. I love drawing with paper and pen or carving and printing block prints by hand, then painting digitally. Seeking representation! #kidlitartpostcard

Nothing like the planning part of planning a vacation to make you feel like you need a vacation.

My husband and I were married 31 years ago today!

You could be writing a future reader's favorite book. Good enough reason to keep going.

When I open a book and am drawn into the world of Narnia, I can’t help but feel a little bit like how the Pevensie children must have felt upon returning to Narnia in Prince Caspian. Like I’ve been away far too long and am finally home. What books feel that way to you?

One of my new favorite things to do is listen to an audiobook (usually MG) while working on an art project. These are my most recent listens, which I really enjoyed: #kidlit #audiobooks #mgfiction
