I love how we can filter #kidlit posts easily here on @bsky.app but I gotta say that the lack of engagement is disheartening & makes coming here not as exciting as I had hoped.

I miss the active community 💙
If you’re out there, say hi.

I thought I’d just tweak my site JUST A LITTLE BIT.
3 hours later … 😩
Ended up doing an overhaul.

I just finished my @SCBWI BookStop page! Wohoo!

Let me tell you, BookStop pages are very well done, very comprehensive but *dang* it took me ALL day.

They go live on the 15th. Can’t wait for you to see it!

Send good vibes for banger week - I just sent out a new #pb story 🤞 It’s been a while since I sent something out.

COME SAIL AWAY is moody like OWL MOON & lovely like WATERCRESS.

I’m getting ready for the #halloween season!

My copy was in my car when it was stolen years ago. But i remembered the intro almost word-for-word.

“High on a hilltop near your home, a light goes on in the attic of the old house. You decide to investigate…and you never return.”

Perfect for my workshop!

Angela J Reynolds @angelajrey.bsky.social · 11d

Where did life begin? And how? This book explores so many questions about life, the universe, evolution, and the future of Earth. A deep dive into evolution, with delightful watercolour illustrations and text that is accessible to students (and adults who may need a refresher course).

Uh endings are so hard. Sometimes if you walk away & let
It marinate, the best ending (not a good-as-it-gets ending) will come to you while you’re pulling weeds or at 3am😝. Idk your story but try a circular ending. That always seems to work for me.

I’m in love with my new story.
That’s tough isn’t it & then have to face sending it out.
