this happens a lot when you fear you can’t live up to your own tastes
but nothing ever will on the first draft
let it suck! it’s fine
“writing is rewriting” is the truest aphorism
revisions are where you make it sing
all the first draft has to do is exist
trust the process!

Children's book authors/illustrators! Boyds Mills (formerly the Highlights Foundation) is opening scholarships soon, including the Liz Goulet Dubois scholarship for picture book creators.

It’s either I read 3 books a month or go 3 months without picking up a #book.
There’s no in between.
Reposting last months because it's one of my faves and it deserves two submissions.

Emotions aren't exclusive. And they aren't right or wrong either. Give yourself permission to feel everything you feel. 🥰
#WritingCommunity #selfcare #emotions #beinghuman
Serious question for creatives juggling multiple WIPs: how do you prioritize when your creativity refuses to stand in a single line?
I’ve got:
*Char-sketch for debut PB
*YA Novel MS
*Author-illustrated PB dummy
My brain says “DO EM ALL”
My calendar says “lol"

Quack or whatever.
