Thank you, Canada, for your hospitality twenty-five years ago when everything was thrown into chaos. You didn't have to shelter so many of our people, but you did, showing true kindness during a horrible time. God bless you. Love you for always. 🍁

It's PSL (pumpkin spice latte) season. I've still never had one. Are they good? Am I missing out? 🎃 ☕
To those wondering why some authors seem to do a lot of self-promo, worth reading @parentclub.bsky.social's thread below 🧵👇🏽
Caroline Fernandez@parentclub.bsky.social · 3w agoMy friend @debbieohi.com suggested I post on bluesky something I recently posted on Instagram regarding authors promoting their own books...posting it here now... Let me know if you can relate.... #KidLit #authorlife
Professor Tolkien has been gone for fifty-three years today. Can we do something in his honor? Like maybe tend to a garden, plant a tree, read some of his work, or maybe love each other a little more with kind words and good deeds.

I am now 1/3 of the way through with my personal attempt at the Ray Bradbury Challenge! Day 122. Woot!
Tea = a leaf = a vegetable = I had vegetable broth for breakfast this morning
I just chopped 1k+ words from my WIP's opening. The whole scene could be woven into the rest of the chapter without me needing my readers to live through it. Book words, better be alert:
Lord Farquaad: Some Of You May Die

I'm so behind on EVERYTHING today, but I got to see my bestie and hang out in Oberlin, so it's still a win. Plus, the bookstore had a sale: 3 books for $2!!
I love Canva's features, but I'm afraid some of their images are gen AI, and I can't tell. Anyway, here's a thing I did:
We're past the first hurdle of the week: Monday! Today I hope to refine a vague outline I've made for my new project, edit some of book 1, and get various other writerly and non-writerly things done. You?
Favorite beverage? Tea. Favorite pastime? Reading. Favorite animal? Cat. Favorite season? Fall. Guys, we're almost to the time of year where I can have all the things I love!
I love Josh Johnson's sense of humor! Never fails to make me smile and laugh my butt off. youtube.com/shorts/PKcvP...
Some people were so mad about the casting of The Odyssey

Favorite reads for The Ray Bradbury Challenge (thus far): Favorite short story was by Jeffery Deaver called "Beautiful." Favorite poem was "Peonies" by Mary Oliver. And my favorite essay was by E.B. White about the time he spent on a ship to Alaska (can't recall the title.)
