Hey friends – anyone have any K-8 or middle school connections in Danbury CT; South Bend, IN; Boston/suburbs; and/or Cape Cod? I will be in all of these places this coming semester and I’m hoping to connect with a school or two (or three) that might like to have me in for an author visit. Tx!

Summer can be a challenging time to prioritize your writing. But this group makes it EASY. Sprints. Support. Conversations. Mini workshops. This works!

Give it a try!

Beginning a Novel: The Secret Is, There Is No Secret - Highlights Foundation I saw a quote the other day, attributed to Kabir, which said: β€œWherever you are, that’s the entry point.” I love the simplicity of that, and it feels particularly relevant […]

"a 600-word picture book manuscript was written in the same way as a 40k word MG novel. One word at a time. One paragraph. One chapter." Thanks @christebbetts.bsky.social @highlightsfound.bsky.social #kidlit

I’m a hardass about this in theory (I know it’s another matter in practice) but I think we only owe a conscious/considered choosing to tell the truth as we know (and have lived) it. That consideration might lead to withholding, but in theory, I don’t think I OWE anyone the withholding of my story.

In all the teaching I've done, nothing has been more effective for more writers than the kind of gentle accountability that comes from a regular schedule of shared, quiet writing time. Join me and my co-host @saraharonson.bsky.social to make a commitment to your writing in β€˜25!
