Late to #questpit... TREASURE ISLAND x YOUNG SHELDON When a boy w/ OCD and astronaut dreams discovers explosive booby traps beneath the Kennedy Space Ctr, he and his twin sister time hop to 1719 to recover the code/cipher to disarm the traps and keep his dreams from going kaboom! #Q #MG #ND

As 2024 wraps up, I thought I'd come up with an #agent guide for Galileo Murphy's Law of Disasters... what I hope is my debut middle grade. Predicting good things to come in 2025! #writingcommunity #latetotheparty

#WritingCommunity Do you ever find yourself completely stupefied over the spelling of a word you've spelled correctly a hundred times? For me, today, it was "ground." I typed "grownd," which seemed off, but I couldn't figure out why. Perhaps still turkey hungover?

After a week of utter silence (and a rejection), I got a couple more FULL requests on my #amquerying middle grade this past week. Feeling hopeful! And now I'm trying to manifest good juju so that someone will fall in love with my story... #writingcommunity

When the little wins feel like big wins

You guys... I just sent my first query EVER! I am both excited and terrified. #momswritersclub #amquerying #writingcommunity

Querying question for my friends in the trenches... When an agent asks for a "pitch," and that is the only thing they request, do I send my query? Something like a logline? Both? #amquerying #WritingCommunity #momswritersclub
