I think all of my manifesting caused a ripple in the universe. ***I just sold my debut children’s picture book.*** I cannot wait to share it with you when it comes to bookstores in the fall of 2028✨✍🏻🖌️

My school visits with kids in grades 1-5 over the last couple of months have been incredibly sweet and fun. Talking about my books, and my research and writing process as a nonfiction author.

#NFFEST Quote of the day:
So give yourself permission to follow strange threads. Trust in your gut. Follow your instincts and let yourself fall in love. Your interests matter, and by sharing them with us you widen our lives.

Sounds like permission for rabbit hole adventures. Thanks Jonathan Roth!

It’s been a frigid week here in greater Boston, but I received this book I’ve been waiting for, and it warmed me right up! Beautiful, fascinating and so, so good 😮😍 #kidlit #nffest #amreading @selenecastrovilla.bsky.social @jennharknee.bsky.social

It’s been a week. I just finished writing a tween/young teen nonfiction book for the educational market. It was a grind, but I made my deadline and sent it off to my editor this afternoon! I am footnoted out! 😆🥴 #writerslife #writingcommunity #amwriting #nffest #kidlit

#NFFEST quote of the day:

Strange facts capture their curiosity and lead them to dive deeper into history and science without even realizing they’re learning.

Thanks for your insights @stephaniebearce.bsky.social!
