I took this photo many years ago in Chicago. I still find it calming.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Got it! 😂
How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

Anti-book ban legislation has been proposed in Michigan.

I had a chance to look at the proposals from the state library association months ago and they're GOOD.

Michigan may join several other states in being an anti-book ban leader soon.

For the rest of 2024, @christebbetts.bsky.social and I are organizing writing sprints. Show up. Get it done. Find community. Brainstorm. For me, this time of year does not always lead to productivity. But this year, these sprints are helping me get it done. And that feels great. #kidlit
