Thank you, Lisa, for sharing this! I'm always happy to lend a hand and help support the creative community.
Thanks so much for sharing this, Lisa - and for connecting!
Is it the #autism?
Something weird has been happening lately when I go to the grocery store - and I’m not sure if it’s just me getting riled up because of who I am, or if it’s something that you have experienced, as well.

I hope you’ll share your thoughts!
Thanks, Sherry! I hope so!
As we kick off a new fall semester, I’m looking back at all the fun I’ve had so far in 2026 - from Canaan, VT to Manchester, NH to Kittery, ME! Hope you’ll check out my retrospective on IG:

Some good advice! (writing advice, honest!)
Great blog post, Julie! And thanks for connecting. 🙏

It seems that half of the US is antagonistic to experts these days. 😞
I've been hesitant to join Threads because I joined BlueSky w/the expectation that it was taking off and kidlit folks were joining and - well, it's just not happening. I'm lucky if I get 1 or 2 likes on most of my posts here. I'm still on X, but most of my engagement is on IG. (and yes, I hate Meta)

Ssh, don't give him any more ideas
After 14 years, 102,000 visitors, and 770+ posts, it's time to wrap things up at the ol' blog. I think.

Wrapping up the blog (maybe?) with a visit to the state fair I realize how strange it might seem, for me to return from a summer hiatus only to announce that this might be my last blog post - yet here I am, doing just that. I began this blog waaay back in 2012, right after I'd left fulltime…
Normally, each year at my blog, I relate some of the things I noticed during my time as the PA announcer at our local state fair. (This was my 16th year!)
But this year, one thing in particular stuck out at me more than anything else. I share it at the link.

Love these birds! You can learn more about them (and many more rainbows in nature) in my 2026 NCTE Notable #pPoetry anthology A UNIVERSE OF RAINBOWS. @ebyrbooks.bsky.social @pbjamboree.bsky.social
