Feeling so grateful for the Honorable Mention I received after applying to the Write Kidlit Now scholarship! Thank you so much @bookthreader.bsky.social for your efforts and generosity! What a boost for those of us getting started on our writing journey.

A truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: a human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.

By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating.

Thankful for the wisdom of the eleven-year-old who reminded me that the only way to lose was if I didn't jump in. Congratulations to the 1,015 others who pushed "submit" on Monday. And thanks to @mindyalyseweiss.bsky.social @sylviaichen.bsky.social and all of the other talents involved in #pbparty!
