@bonnieadamson.comBrace yourselves--#kidlitchat is coming up at the top of the hour! (9E/6P)
@gregpincus.bsky.socialDidja know that there's gonna be a #kidlitchat at 9PM Eastern/6PM Pacific today here on Bluesky? It happens every Tuesday, in fact - an hour of #kidlit chatting, camaraderie, and desserts that could only be better if even more of you joined the fun. Or maybe not better but bigger, at least. Join us!
@michellewitte.bsky.socialI’d love it if #dvpit next week brings some of those people back to Bluesky so we can build up the book community here again. I’m trying to think of what I can do to help that. Would people be up for Ask An Agent or AMA type threads? I’ll try to make it to Tuesday night #kidlitchat regularly again.
@thoggatt.bsky.socialJust in case #kidlitchat would like to participate.
@johnzeleznikauthor.bsky.socialI live the line from Hamilton: #kidlitchat
@carrenjao.bsky.socialLove that @johnzeleznikauthor.bsky.social Plans, dreams, all on a piece of paper :) We all have to start somewhere! #kidlitchat
@deniseganley.bsky.socialIs there one of them you'd be heartbroken if it never got published? Like you'd regret never making it happen? If so, that's the one you should pick. #KidLitChat
@deniseganley.bsky.socialI think some ideas are just persistent and either stay front and center or show up again and again. Or a new idea drags a previous idea back up and shows the start of a pattern that starts to make sense. #KidLitChat
@deniseganley.bsky.socialI have too many ideas & some feel super random so I dont aways know where they belong right away. I put them in a notebook until I find their home. Then a couple ideas will just start sticking together like rubber cement, & then a couple more glob on, until it's a big ball of goodness. #KidLitChat
@kassielamro.bsky.socialLittle late here, #kidlitchat, but interesting question! I have a couple ideas marinating. Sometimes I write them down or create a folder on my computer. But they mostly wait in a queue. I brainstorm multiple book ideas, but I draft them one at a time.
@johnzeleznikauthor.bsky.socialWell, goodnight everyone. This was fun! #kidlitchat
@vbartles.comWell, if that 15 years of topics file is running low... sounds like it's time to circle back to the beginning for 2nd (or 3rd) drafts! Revision is my favorite part of the process!! ;) #KidLitChat
@vbartles.comYeah, I'm going to do that. I'm wanting to take my grandson to a "1,000 Books Before Kindergarten" celebration at the library tomorrow morning, so I need to be rested well enough to be able to venture out of the house tomorrow. 'Night everyone! Thanks for another lovely #KidLitChat <3
@dtdelosh.bsky.socialSketches def count #kidlitchat
@vbartles.comI write all of my first drafts in spiral notebooks too. I used to save the prettiest ones for "special projects" but then I never found anything special enough. Now, it just makes me smile to write in my prettiest notebooks on the regular! #KidLitChat
