Unfortunately, it is too small even for Agent J, who is smaller than either Agent E or myself. 😕

Going to pass it on, and we hope whoever finds it loves it. ❤️
World’s Best Cat Sitter left this for Oscar when World’s Best Cat Sitter left this for Oscar when she checked on him while we were at my mom’s last week, and we gave it to him today. He would not move his head from the food bowl until it was completely gone. And he was super happy and relaxed afterward. Now he’s like, I need more of this in my life. 🤣🐱❤️ #oscardarwin
What writer hasn’t dreamed of seeing their words What writer hasn’t dreamed of seeing their words printed in a book? For some this fantasy includes landing an agent and a contract with an advance. For others a more realistic approach will be to take matters into their own hands. Is self-publishing right for you?

Not long ago, anything other than querying a gatekeeper and hoping to be let in would have been considered vanity. This is no longer the case. Forget everything you thought you knew about creating a book outside of the traditional publishing realm. Self-publishing today is a respectable, viable choice for many writers.

Pursuing traditional publishing requires a lot of mental energy and not everyone will want to take that on. It is also a lengthy endeavor {months or even years before you see your beloved creation on a bookstore shelf}. Before you decide to self-publish instead, however, you should consider the following points and think about whether it is truly the best path for you.

Periodic social media clean out time. 🥳 Going Periodic social media clean out time. 🥳

Going through pages and people I follow and {with a few exceptions} unfollowing accounts that haven’t posted in the last year. Also removing “followers” who have scammy vibes or send weird DMs. {No, I am not interested in your vast knowledge of cryptocurrency.} 🙄 

I know some folks like to see the higher numbers {people always seemed especially obsessed with this on Twitter for some reason?} but I prefer to have a more accurate count. 🧐

Also, I always DO try to follow back fellow writers and secular homeschoolers, so please say hello! 👋

Your online social interactions should make you feel 🥰 and not 😒.

Let go of the notion that you need to write only h Let go of the notion that you need to write only happy, positive pieces that most people agree with. Of course, there’s no need to be intentionally unkind or mean. But try to release yourself from the idea that having opinions is something to be self-conscious about. If you do not have strong feelings about your non-fiction topics or your fiction storylines, your readers won’t either.

Remember: There will always be people who respond negatively for the sake of being negative. Someone will always claim they know you better than you know yourself, or attempt to convince you your feelings are not justified. You are not writing for them.

Of course, not holding back does not mean you need to share pieces that are not reflective of your true self. We all need firm boundaries to thrive. Being uncomfortable is not a virtue.

If you are going to take yourself seriously as a w If you are going to take yourself seriously as a writer, you need to learn how to prioritize your writing. 

This does not simply mean coming up with a plan to work on a particular project or to write at a certain time each day. Becoming an intentional writer is more than just forcing a new writing routine into your already full schedule. 

You need to carefully consider the why and the how. WHY is writing not currently as high a priority as you would like? HOW can you work within your established commitments to spend more energy on writing?

This one is all of our fiction books. Everything from Poppleton and Curious George to Dan Brown and V.C. Andrews. 👀

The only books we have put away in a box are board books and other similar titles that have been very loved {i.e., are mostly destroyed} but we can’t part with. 😌

Can you tell they like Warriors? That photo only shows some of them. 😆
