#kidlitchat is here again, as regular as the tides (though without the same, long history). Every Tuesday at 9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific, including tonight, we #kidlit lovers gather and chat, now here on Bluesky (where we signed up before the tides, I must note). I hope you'll join us!

#kidlitchat I went to Storymakers conference & spoke to 2 agents about 2 novels. I revised the query letter for one, am doing another pass and plan to keep querying. I'm planning to self-publish the other. Also, I'm in the planning process of cowriting a time-loop nursery rhyme tie-in with a friend.
TOPIC: We have a tradition here at #kidlitchat of checking in every quarter to share what we've been up to, career-wise. What have your past three months been like, and what's next? (Plans, daydreams and false starts are totally valid responses!)

Music and musicians. I get obsessed with different bands and music and it makes its way into my writing. Time and time again there’s at least one musician character in each of my novels, and if someone’s a musician there’s gotta be at least one scene of a performance, right? #kidlitchat
TOPIC: April showers . . . etc. etc. What non-career-related hobbies/pursuits/obsessions make your creativity flower? How does what you admire or find fascinating leave its mark on your writing or art? #kidlitchat

My advice for emerging artists and pros alike: it’s time for in person events.

The industry and community is scattered and algorithms are currently siloing us off.

Go to cons, festivals, screenings + launches, and other art events.

While social media is still shifting, invest in face to face.

I've just had a count up, and across all the different wide channels and I've sold 8 books so far this month!

Just 2 away from my monthly target.

If anyone would like to help out and get me over the line, 🔗 in bio 🫶🏻

Something wonderful happened yesterday. My still life painting has been accepted into the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London (26 March - 5 April)! It's beyond my wildest artistic dreams! Up to and including then, I will be walking on air!

My POV, Amelia writes a silly poem to read to her goddaughter every week over ice cream. I loved writing them and I’ve loved reading them again when editing. It’s a ghost story with some really dark moments, so I think the silly, lighthearted moments are an important balance.
7️⃣ What’s a scene or sidequest in your work that you love—even if it doesn’t directly affect the main plot?
Sometimes, the best moments in a story are the ones that take us off the main path. Share yours!

A setting (the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge near Taos) inspired my book, The Road to Nowhere, New Mexico #querying .) That bridge both captivates and frightens me. It feels haunted, so naturally I wrote a ghost story about it.

Current: I don’t use a lot of slang and try to avoid mentioning specific programs or social media. Historical: I only wrote one historical book. I looked up some slang from the time but mostly just used regular language. I avoided “OK” since we say it all the time but it’s pretty modern. #kidlitchat
TOPIC: "How do I write dialogue that sounds current but without references that date it instantly?" #kidlitchat asked. "Or if I'm writing historical fiction how do I know how kids and adults sounded back then? Share your ideas, questions, and tips, please."

Day 3 and 4 of #doguary is the Australian Shepherd! These #dogs are super kid friendly, and they love to herd when they get the chance (birds, squirrels, kids...). They have a ton of energy!
