Hot take: You don't break into the acting industry solely by being a good actor. You break in by being a good auditioner. Similarly! You don't break into traditional publishing solely by being a good novelist. You break in by writing a good query.

Hot take: Queries are not a necessary evil. They are a chance to show off a skill you'll need for the rest of your writing career.

It's not an understatement to say that a @HighlightsFound writing workshop with @christebbetts changed my life in the best of ways. The price is a steal, the weekend is Jan 8-9. Perfect if your NY resolution is to start querying. highlightsfoundation.org/programs/3376/…

5) Listens a lot. Openly admits writing full-length novels is not happening right now. Wistfully pipe dreams about Nanowrimo.

I am part of the SALTIEST, MOST CURMUDGEONLY Plant Identification Group on Facebook and, although I am very hesitant to prescribe one-size-fits-all advice, I really think everyone could use some salty plant identifiers in their lives.

Post-Star Wars Day burnout is real. Especially for the under seven crowd. #RevengeOfTheFifth

I don’t understand why Govs don’t understand that young people need to learn interpretation and empathy more than ever and where better than music, art and drama? DON’T CUT ARTS FUNDING! It’s a no brainer!

Would anybody like to pontificate about the state of the Picture Book and/or Chapter Book market right now? What genres/subjects/formats are in demand these days? I have an idea but I’m wondering the best way to spin it. #writingcommunity #pb #amwriting

Got my second Moderna vaccine on Friday evening and only had a sore arm and a slight headache, just like the first one. :) Drank a ton of water on the day of and the day after. Blood type O-. 37 years old. Its different for everybody, but if this gives you hope, take it!
