Thanks so much, Stefan. It’s certainly a challenge to tell any story in 50 words!

It's always fun to connect with friends in the #kidlit #community for #50preciouswords. Thank you to @viviankirkfield.bsky.social, the judges, and the donors who make this contest something to get excited about! Here is my entry about Aloka the Peace Dog: viviankirkfield.com/2026/03/02/t...

There is so much to love about the @12x12challenge, but my favorite part is that writers come to this community as their authentic selves. 🤩 To learn more, please visit www.12x12challenge.com/membership.

There is still time to join for 2026, but membership closes tomorrow, so hurry!

A truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: a human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.

By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating.

Congratulations on your honorable mention! I was enjoying your poem, and then I realized I knew the person who wrote it. :) Happy for you!
