I love it when a new story idea comes to me! I get inspiration from so many places. This morning, it came from the title of a post on Substack - inspiration for 2 kids stories! I can't wait to dive in and begin working on them!

I'm working my way through this book by @janefriedman and it has so much important information! I highly recommend it to any writer/author!

Another great show today at St. Paul United Methodist Church for their spring craft show!

FAVORITE BOOK-
What was your favorite book or author growing up? I'd love to hear what you loved to read as a child, so add a comment with your favorite book or author.
Mine was anything by Shel Silverstein, especially A Light in the Attic and Where the Sidewalk Ends!
I've been working in earnest on my new middle grade mystery trilogy. I completed character interviews for the 3 main characters, added character and setting details to my background info, and wrote a few sentences on book 1.
I still need to outline book 1, so that's my goal for this next week.

I've set my Laurel Hill middle grade series on sale on my website through the end of April - $25 for the set of 4 books instead of the regular price of $30!
These are great Easter gifts instead of candy!

I love my writing set up! The second-hand desk, my laptop, and a cold drink is all I need when I'm writing at 2am.
