For a Music League round, I once picked “music for writing” as the theme. Half the league was into it, the others were perplexed by the very idea. Yes, someone put 4’33” on the playlist. #kidlitchat

This! Reading for myself, but also reading aloud to my kids (mostly picture books, starting with some early chapter books). I enjoy reading aloud, and I really enjoy noticing what was fun or challenging about the reading experience to inform my own writing. #kidlitchat

Posted it on Threads with a pretty good response. I would love to give it a try here too! Please let me know if the idea is of any interest to you! #audhd#kidlit

In the next three months I'd like to get a PB into querying phase, do more critique partnering, and just have as much fun with it all as I can. #kidlitchat

Oooh Collingswood! That is local for me. I plan to go, possibly with kids in tow. #kidlitchat

Three poems rejected which still feels like a positive because I'm new to this and it means I actually submitted them in the first place. I'd like some kind of celebratory rejection ritual to help me face inevitable future rejections. Do any of you celebrate your rejections in some way? #kidlitchat

i know a big part of the reason people like NaNo was for the community, are there are other places / hashtags to follow so new writers can find digital writing groups? (I'm super out of the loop here, but would love to share any that exist as alternatives for ppl looking!)

NaNoWriMo: Stop co-opting advocacy language to justify your partnership with AI. I’m an autistic ‘picture thinker’ who writes well one moment while struggling to form sentences the next. But using Chat-GPT erases our distinct neurodivergent voices by making them indistinguishable.

TBH I personally could benefit from trying this skill 🫣 #BetterLivingThroughPictureBooks

So much fun to read aloud!
