For anyone in need of a little laugh: This morning I sat on the couch having coffee, my dog next to me. But I had to run upstairs to get something so I got up quickly and tossed the blanket off my lap. This is how I found my dog when I came back down.

If I didn't have to pay for all the books I buy for my school library, what a dream that would be. Instead, I push right up to the edge of my budget every year and still can't buy everything I need.

First 4 beats have been laid down. Only 11 to go. I love this workbook (knew I would) and I use it in conjunction with Save the Cat and Story Genius. What’s in your writing tool kit?

I don’t remember who I was talking to about this but I shared that my teen doesn’t like to read. Not a bookworm at all….but wait, she just shared that she LOVES (her word) to analyze texts. She loves looking for symbolism, etc. That’s a win in my column!

AABB stands with our trans members, friends, colleagues, heroes, and the countless trans Americans who will be affected by this needlessly cruel Executive Order from the Trump Administration. We are proud to do so alongside so many of our comrades in the fight against book bans.

For those that maybe need a little joy…for reasons… @libro.fm is having a romance audiobook sale. Lots of good titles. I…probably bought too many. 😬 libro.fm/sale/all

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔 He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. “The Library IS for Everyone” 💚 #BlackHistoryMonth

My first review for SAL and it’s a Kirkus star!!! 🥳 “…Proudman’s debut novel is an homage to folk hero stories told through a feminist lens. The work, which is rooted in ecological justice, effectively critiques colonialism and jingoistic nationalism. A heartfelt, swashbuckling, standout novel.”

Children's books build empathy, compassion, and understanding. They can transport readers to whole new worlds and back again, all without leaving your sofa. They can comfort, they can delight. They are magical. #kidlituk

So, Bluesky will be launching an alternative to Instagram? Called “Flashes”, if this is true, I’m here for it! @bsky.app

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

MONDAY — It’s #2025Pit Are you an unagented writer who has completed a manuscript? Are you in search of a literary agent? Great, on Monday I’m hosting a pitch event here on BlueSky I hope will connect authors & agents who may like to work together. How does this work? Glad you asked!

One of the things I'll be talking about in "Marketing Boot Camp For Busy Illustrators" at #scbwiNY25 next wk: How authenticity & empathy are key. And for #KidLit creators who think "what's the point, given state of the world": MORE THAN EVER, young readers need your books, industry needs your art.

While I care about what's happening in the world, I am also limiting how often I check news (esp U.S. but things aren't so great in Canada these days, either). For others who sometimes need some #Uplift, here's a custom feed I manually curate: bsky.app/profile/debb...

I am not powerless. I am not confrontational but I can choose how to stay empowered. How to do my part.
