I am a distinguished alumna! No... Seriously!
I am a distinguished alumna! No… Seriously!
A few years ago (in June) there was a Vermont College of Fine Arts party at American Library Association’s conference that I was completely stressed about? It was at Tami Lewis Brown’s House. Katherine Paterson was there and I had no idea what I was supposed to say if I actually met Katherine Paterson.
I mean, what do you say to someone who wrote THE BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA?
1. You made me…

All her life, Portia Potion was an outsider, a quiet thinker and smart brain. She seemed odd to others, was picked on, and lonely. Now, her days of loneliness could end: “My wicked minions will spread my potion into the world and all human kind will become fearful creatures. I’ll come to their rescue and then they’ll love me and I’ll rule the world! Buahahahahaaaaaaaaa!” • • • #wickedminion for #artitupwithfriends by creators @pabkins and @badaliceshop || if you’re not participating yet, do go check the list of prompts @artitupwithfriends and join the fun! • • Also go see more beautiful artworks by @yvonnebrennecke_art and @whimsicalstorybooks both uniquely gorgeous! • • • Good night dear ones!

This is my Saturday so far. How's yours? I hope you're getting some Writing Cave (or your equivalent) time to relax and enjoy. I'm getting last revisions done on my Middle Grade fantasy with a dash of #projectcleanup painting this. Procreate is working again. Yay! #amwriting #WritingCave #kidlit #kidlitart #laptop #laptopstickers #dogsofinstagram #petsofinstagram #saturday #saturdaywriting #mg #mgfantasy #fantasy #writing #childrensbookart #childrensbookillustrator #kidlitwomen #kidlitartist #paintedselfie #childrensbookart #paintplay #oceancleanupproject #procreateart #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #scbwiillustrators #kidlitauthor #kidlitwriter https://www.instagram.com/p/B2-GudInxI6/?igshid=d9u2fdf8oyuy

A piece I did for a picture book a long time ago using acrylics on wood. I'm thinking of reviving this project next year! Her story is told by a playful word game full of metaphores... I have been missing it. ✏💕 Esta imagen es parte de un libro-álbum en el que trabajé hace mucho tiempo usando acrílicos sobre madera. Estoy considerando revivir este proyecto el año entrante! La historia se narra a través de un juego de palabras lleno de metáforas... la extrañaba. ✏💕 . . . . #anamaria_art, #illustration, #oldwork, #picturebook, #libroalbum, #gratitude, #ilustradoreslatinoamericanos, #illustratorsaustralia, #ilustradorescolombianos, #colombiailustra, #adelaideillustrator #kidlitart #illustratorsoninstagram, #ilustracioninfantil #kidlitwriting #literaturainfantil @karukaru.studio

That's a long time and as a writer, I totally understand the battle against perfection. It may be time to stick it on the shelf and ignore it for a little bit (NOT FOREVER, just for a month or so), long enough to start something else, and forget a few details that you've seen a thousand times.

I used to do that, too! My number was even lower. I only sent out five. But that has its own levels of torture too. Sending out so few queries and having to wait six months before you send out more means your journey will be slow.
But at the end of the day, you should do what you feel comfortable doing.

I'm all about complaining to get the stress out So tell me: how is your writing going? Are you mad that book came out? What bothers you about the kidlit community? Let's get it out!

I haven't felt the urge to write in a month.
I'm sorry to hear that. The fog is hard to see through sometimes. Try small steps like:
Making a map
Just outlining a scene
Talking about your work with another writer
Reading (I find audiobooks very helpful when the fog comes on)
It's important to take breaks. I'm sure the thought has crossed your mind that you might never return to the work and that can be frightening, but if you try to force yourself to go back to it that will almost surely happen.
Don't worry about taking breaks from your work. It'll be okay.

I'm afraid that even if I do get published that no one will like my work... and that my career will be over.

I think we all share this fear and I feel a deep level of camaraderie with you. But I think you know, if you let this fear stop you, your work will never be out there. You might be missing out on a huge opportunity because of it.
I know it's scary and that words don't often help with that, but you've got to, at least, try to get your work out there.
