Changing the POV character for a chapter requires so much work to make sure the previous voice doesn't linger, but I'm sure it will be worth it. Hopefully. Sigh.

Her mother says Tanya is getting too old for Mr. Hoppy, but Tanya refuses to give him up. She knows it’s not THE RIGHT TIME. But when a disaster strikes at the zoo that only Mr. Hoppy can fix, Tanya must decide if she can stand to be parted forever from her lifelong friend. #skypitch

Hey #KidLit friends,
One of my earliest critique partners lives up in NC, and his school was destroyed by #HurricaneHelene
He lost his entire art classroom, which had accumulated supplies for the past 20 years.
I'm going to share his class rebuild wishlist in the thread below.

Tried to start an IG account yesterday (yes, I know I'm a decade behind the times) and got reported as a fake account within 15 minutes because I started following people before I set a profile pic/bio. Let's see how my appeal goes.

Just walked half a mile in 10 degree weather because I wanted a zucchini to put in my spaghetti sauce. The mushrooms and spinach weren't part of the plan, but since they were there, might as well. How's your day going? #amwriting #writingcommunity
