#KidLit friends, I am hearing rumblings that the desire for middle grade is slowly inching up again. Your moment may be closer than you think, so maybe it's time to consider dusting off that manuscript you've been too afraid to even think about.

The worst part of writing a story for adults is having to pretend to care about the characters’ jobs. I’m off the clock, what am I doing worrying about deadlines and career satisfaction!!

Been kicked in the teeth a lot since March, and as we deal with our latest (hand foot & mouth disease), I’d just like to put it out there that a win would be really nice. And if not a win, then a draw. And if not a draw, then maybe I could just sit this game out for a little while.
