I came home to discover a bird had flown into my house and pooped all over my computer. They say that a bird pooping on your head brings good luck. Does that mean if a bird poops all over my computer I'm getting writing good luck??? #WritingCommunity #kidlit

I’m thrilled to be celebrating another book birthday with @MelissaStoller @ShirinsBooks and @CallieMetler. What a delight to be bringing into the world our second book together. May it help build love and kindness from here to there and everywhere! #WritingCommunity #kidlitart

Who else hides their laptop before going on holiday, only to return & realise they’ve forgotten where it is? I’ve looked in all my usual hidey-holes & I cannot find it, which means I’m either going senile or I've been robbed… I think we ALL know what’s happened here

I wonder if this applies to #kidlit as well. Or those of us who write during the day? Oh, stop asking questions Kate. Just go write.
I heard some great writing advice today - “Write drunk, revise sober” lol I’m off to write! Jk! #WritingCommnunity

Love, Love, Love this stunning book! A GRANDMA'S MAGIC is a lyrical and magical ode to grandmas that is delightful in every way. The text is simply beautiful and the illustrations are bursting with love and life. For grandmas everywhere, this is a must have! @COffsay @AsaGilland

Birthing a book takes so much of ones self. The time, the energy, the sacrifices you have to make. To then have someone, a celebrity none the less (who can leverage their image to boost sales) steal your work?! Well… it’s not ok. My heart hurts for these two talented creators

I love stumbling across someone exciting to follow on Twitter! And Elizabeth is a really good one! Some fabulous tips coming your way!
One year ago, my Twitter was hacked, and I lost all my followers. To build back up, I will be tweeting a #KidlitTip every day for the next 30 Days. Today's tip:what's selling now in picture book biographies are women of color combined with STEM topics. Other subjects tough! #Tip1

When you’re sitting in the forest, reading your latest manuscript to your kids then look up half way through to see a group of people listening and saying, “please don’t stop!” #WritingCommunity #amwriting #kidlit
