@kidlitchat.bsky.socialReposted by @carrenjao.bsky.socialTOPIC: It's the fall equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere - bringing to mind harvesting ideas and storing them up for winter. Do you stockpile ideas, characters, words, or anything? And how do you decide which idea of yours is ripe for starting? #kidlitchat
@carrenjao.bsky.social#kidlitchat I definitely stockpile! I have this long list of ideas, half-formed notes, random thoughts that SOMEDAY might be something. I think the decision comes when I find myself with some time and space, open that list, and then listen for where my heart wants to go that day. Very un-scientific!

@carrenjao.bsky.socialThank you!! Enjoying all the green! #Kidlitchat
@carrenjao.bsky.socialPlus, you get the benefit of learning so much more from others too. I want more time to do this, but can only do it in spurts #Kidlitchat
@carrenjao.bsky.socialOh yes, love the green space idea. We just moved to WA state and it's so green. That might be a tip that will get used more often #Kidlitchat
@carrenjao.bsky.socialThis is a good problem to have! Busy with other fantastic things, I'm sure! #Kidlitchat
@carrenjao.bsky.socialYes to exercise and getting out! I resist that particular trick, but it is good for the mind so have done it :) #kidlitchat
@carrenjao.bsky.socialOh my gosh! So sorry to hear about the house fire. Glad it was only small! #Kidlitchat
