Can you believe October begins next week? 🤯 This month flew by (I don't even think I promoted the calendar in September! 😂)

Come on, PB writers. Who doesn't have a zombie MS??? Let's do this!!
With just 5 days left until the official #KidlitZombieWeek 2025 kickoff, it's time to get a little skin in the game. Who's ready to play Dr. Franken-kidlit with their dead manuscript? Let's see those hands!

I guess I will wash dishes later. Can't ask the senior dog to take her nap elsewhere.

Calendar: It's spring!!

Winter yesterday: Bwahaha....I can't hear you!

Signs of spring. Also known as mud season. The only reason our road doesn't have 12 inch deep ruts is my husband back-dragged it with the tractor bucket today. We are walking in and out until it dries up. Usually takes 2 weeks.

We had to say goodbye to JuJu today. Best kitty in the world.

The #PBParty agent/editor/AD showcase opened early this morning and requests are flying! With 55 finalists and 20 in the Illustration Showcase, we'd love to have even more participate.

Everyone may read them & cheer online, but comments are only for requests.

So much wonderful art in #boardgaming & I always look for the artists here on Bluesky in hopes I can help boost their work but most don't seem to use alt-text.

Using alt-text not only helps visually impaired & neurodivergent, but helps your post get discovered: publish.obsidian.md/debbieohi/al...

JuJu, the best cat in the world, was diagnosed yesterday with a tumor in her mouth and prognosis isn't good. She loves to sleep under the covers. She has to pounce on treats before eating them. She says "hi" when she sees you. She is my daughter's best friend. I am heartbroken.

First trip to The Briar Patch in Bangor, ME - one of the coolest bookstores I’ve been to! Great selection, recommendations, and people! And don’t miss this gem, LILY’S DREAM by Bea Jackson!

Yay for snow! I love it when the bottom step disappears. Hannah's okay with it, too.

Thank you, @debbieohi.com
When posting images, include alt-text.

I've updated my alt-text resource with tips esp for artists & authors: publish.obsidian.md/debbieohi/al...

Not only does it help visually impaired & neurodivergent, it helps your post get discovered, clarifies intent, can be translated, etc. #BlueSkyTips

It won't be sufficient for snowshoeing but it's a start. And it's pretty.
January 29, 2025 at 2:03 PM
Yes! I am ready!!!!
Are you ready for another year of humor kidlit awesomeness?!

Kidlit Haha Week is on April 1st - 5th and this year’s line-up is 🔥🔥.

Last year’s content was focused on writing PBs, but this year I’m excited to add MG and illustration content in addition to PB content.

JuJu knows where to be when it's bitter cold outside (and in some corners of the house).

I have a mini "vacation" coming up (carpal tunnel release surgery) and am kind of looking forward to a forced break from work. I plan to catch up on writing webinars but also looking for feel-good or funny movie recs. Kids movies, too!

Went out to mark property lines today and saw these tracks. Pretty sure it's a bobcat. Seriously. I know I don't have anything in the picture to provide perspective but these are not polite little household kitty-sized prints.

JuJu enjoying the warmth of the woodstove. #caturday
