I took a leap and faced some fears by entering @viviankirkfield.bsky.social 's #50PreciousWords contest for the first time.
I'm excited to share that my story, "The Scariest Pumpkin in the Patch" was awarded an Honorable Mention! Congrats to all the winners and fellow honorable mentions.
Same! You definitely were not the only ones 😂
This is such a fun entry! I love it.
This was such a fun challenge. I've loved reading everyone's entries. Here is the link to mine :) viviankirkfield.com/2025/03/02/5...
“If something inside of you is real, we will probably find it interesting, and it will probably be universal. So you must risk placing real emotion at the center of your work.”

This is the only acceptable version of "write what you know".

The internal battle every time I have to cut a character:
Me: "This hurts me more than it hurts you, but I have to let you go."
Also me: Moves them to a separate doc and promises them a spinoff.
#WritingCommunity
One group I'm proud to be a part of.
Meaningful engagement is so important. I tell my social media team all the time that good social media strategy builds a following but great social media strategy builds a community.
Making this my mantra for the rest of the week.
Anyone have any good tips on how to silence your inner critic when you're staring at a blank page?

Did you enter the #PBParty contest yet?
Don't let fear get in the way. Put yourself out there and make 2025 your year to shine.
You have a little over 3 1/2 hours left to enter.
Huge thanks to PBParty judge @staceybyer.bsky.social for this adorable, inspiring graphic. 💗
Just submitted my entry for my first #PBParty!
No matter what happens, I'm proud of myself for not giving up and taking this small step forward.

“Certainty is the great enemy of unity, the deadly enemy of tolerance.”
Just watched Conclave and, in addition to being a good flick, this line stood out as a good moral. Especially right now.
I had to do the same thing just last week to strengthen my MS and cut words. Poor Deputy Acorn never saw it coming. 😆
I'm planning on attending. Can you please add me? Thanks for setting this up :)
When I was in journalism school at KU, our professors always said, "If your mother says she loves you, get a second source." It's a rule I still live by to this day.
This is an important reminder with everything going on in the world right now.
I'm excited for this amazing opportunity. Thank you @mindyalyseweiss.bsky.social for putting this together.
Definitely on my top 5 list of worst things to go down this week. And that's saying a lot working in social.
I feel this in my soul.
For those of us who work in advertising, can we add getting AI to do our timecards to the list?

Thank you for this opportunity!
