Happy New Year, #amquerying #kidlit creators! I am once again OPEN TO QUERIES! Can't wait to see your new #PB, #CB, #MG, and #YA projects! See pinned tweet for my general #MSWL. I'll also thread below with some specifics that I'd really love right now.

You may think you know what #ADHD is, but it might be more complex than you thought. I hope you'll learn more about it below. #ADHDCorner #ADHDtwitter #wednesdaythought #WednesdayMotivation #WisdomWednesday youtube.com/watch?v=2qUTQC…

Well, been feeling darn right heartbroken about writing the last 6 mo. Like I. Will. Never. Get. Traditionally. Published. But...tonight, I sat down and got 2 queries sent out for the new year. Gotta keep trying and see what happens...#writerslife #WritingCommunity #amquerying

I wrote a poem tonight. It made me happy! #amwriting #amquerying

Wow, Disney's Encanto was truly something special. Watched it (and cried) tonight with my husband and 4 kids. Afterwards, we all got up and danced happily to the credits - it was a magical moment after a magical movie! I LOVED the messages/characters/music. A new favorite! #Encanto

#mondaythoughts #MondayMorning My hope is to spread awareness about what it's like to have #ADHD as a self/mom/daughter of the disorder, share helpful tips I've learned, and testify that God can help us in our ADHD challenges. Check out my channel: youtube.com/watch?v=gW2eh0…

Been working on stuff! Do you know how big a deal that is for me? 😄 First #illustration done ✔️ for my new #pb about #sisters. Always fun to see the #beforeandafter from sketch to completion. #amwriting #writingcomm #kidlit #kidlitcommunity #writerslife instagram.com/reel/Cj-jcwcAK…

It’s been awhile. Even after all this time, writing is here in my mind and heart. Been working on my sister #pb an hour here & there between all the mom/wife/nurse things. This is the year I’m finishing it. Let’s go 2024! #goals #amwriting #WritingCommmunity #kidlitart #kidlit
