YES!!! AMAZING

Preface: I listen to just about every type of music under the sun. My kids heard me listening to heavy metal and asked what it was... The words my brain chose were: "Rock n Roll, but with dinosaurs singing." I can never unhear this. #music #perspective #butwhy

The first page/sentence (i.e., the hook) is a promise to the reader about what they can expect from the story.

What if that voice you're hearing, that's telling you to reach, is actually the voice of your 'calling'?

Always a great listen! ♥️

I used to write A LOT! As in, I have hundreds of story concepts and partials, about 60 completed story drafts, and about 20 fully edited stories. After working in publishing, I now know I would not publish essentially 99% of my work. Crazy how perspectives change.

Officially on a rake strike. It's kind of nice being lazy and not raking... But how long before the neighbors get annoyed 🧐 #leavetheleaves

Be there or be square! Also, nothing wrong with squares. They are lovely shapes. ❤️ But check it out if you can!

Hot take: Anyone looking for a masterclass on children's writing, watch (and analyze) the show, #Bluey. The depth and layers are some of the best I've seen (at least as far as kid's shows go).

The goal is not to write a book, it's to become a writer. The goal is not to have illustrations published, it's to become an illustrator. Whatever we're working on, the outcome isn't the goal--the process is.
