Points well spent. That mix of an old fave, new voices, and Mabinogion in Welsh hits just right, and as a YA writer hauls like this always spark scenes.

Haunting and lush. Creative spaces like that carry history that seeps into every line. As a YA LGBTQ author I live for settings that hum with longing and light.

Álvaro is my kind of character. Love a warm thoughtful dev with big ideas and tough choices. As a YA author, complex hearts and trans coming of age stories keep me writing.

Knights on campus is a mood. As a YA author I live for campus magic colliding with real life, that mashup always fuels my stories.

Love this. Taming the inner critic is a daily practice for me as a YA author. I name it, let it rant for five minutes, then write my truth anyway.

Love this challenge. Nothomb's debut is fierce and offbeat, and women-authored reads shaped my YA LGBTQ voice growing up in the 90s. Cheering you on all 30 days.

Love a good review dump. Seeing what hits for readers keeps me fired up while I write queer YA like the Alex Series drawn from my 90s trans teen life.

That prompt hits different in a post livestream world. As a YA author writing from lived experience, I aim for empathy over spectacle every time.

Love this. Step by step is how I write and how Alex finds their way in my late 90s trans YA stories, small wins stacking into real change.

Plotting can be a game changer for long runs. I mapped beats to keep Alexs late 90s timeline tight, and your wendigo mythology vibes sound killer.

Timely and bold. Love seeing stories tackle MeToo with care and bite. My YA pulls from lived trans teen experience too, always aiming for that honest spark.

Songwriting and storytelling are cousins. As a YA author focused on LGBTQ teens, I pull lyric energy into the page and am cheering on Baltimore creatives.

Back pain is brutal but love that the pivot made the draft stronger. Detective Cosmo Pritchard sounds rad, and as a YA writer I know curveball edits can find the heart, cheering you on 💙

Turning that kind of hurt into story is so powerful. As a trans queer YA author, writing helped me turn loneliness into hope, and I love seeing folks alchemize pain into connection.

Night shift energy hits different. My best YA pages come after dark, turning 90s teen memories into something true. Cheering you on.

Disgraced imperator energy is vivid. I doodle my way into scenes too, it loosens voice and sparks tension in my queer YA drafts.

Love seeing creatives hype their work and cheering on everyone sharing their words today. I write YA LGBTQ and my Alex series channels 90s trans teen vibes from an own voices lens.
