The guilt that came with my son's initial diagnosis impacted my mental health. This message is so important!

This is my second year in 12x12, and my first year doing storystorm. (I think I learned about ss from 12x12!) I’m loving storystorm right now as a real brain stretch. I feel like it’s setting me up for a great year of writing. Also, I feel like I’m getting a better sense of who I am as a writer.

Thank you for sharing! My 17-year-old nonspeaker has been working at s2c for about a year, and I love seeing the potential!

I love these #gratitude posts for Thanksgiving week! I #amquerying but I have two very different critique groups to keep me grounded! One is in person, which I found through @scbwi and the other meets on zoom, which I found through the @12x12picturebookchallenge. Love them both! #kidlitchat

DWTS finale *may* get in the way for me. But then again, I suppose that this is what commercials for?

In cities, in countries, in small towns, in cups of coffee.
In paperbacks, in board books, in laughter and strife.
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred bookstores.
How do you measure a year in the life?

There’s gotta be a zillion people with this issue! I’m hoping they update their icons soon!

It’s a real thing. My autistic son experiences this. I think many autistic people do, too. But I’m not sure how it occurs as a side effect to brain surgery.
