Marching Through March With Mentor Texts

 

Join me in marching on with mentor texts through the month of March. It is a wonderful way to discover new mentor texts, gain insight and knowledge, and be inspired by many sharing their stories and mentor text suggestions.

Thank you to Lynne Marie, her staff at Rate Your Story and all the authors posting each day for this wonderful month of fun.

Kicking Off a New Writing Year

With the beginning of January and a new calendar year, also comes the start of a new 12 x 12 Picture Book Writing Challenge year, the goal during which is twelve new picture book rough drafts in twelve months. This particular year is full of hope and progress for me as I've upgraded my membership from silver to gold. Looking forward to a year of motivation, inspiration, persistence, production and interaction.

Happy New Year

As we ring in a new year, may we relish the good and let go of the bad from 2024 and look to 2025 with gratitude and joy. 

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year. May 2025 bring good health, well-being and productivity for you and yours.

January, here we come!

 

Can't wait! Here we go...

Salute to Veterans

 

Today, we honor those who have, and those who continue to, serve for our freedom. Thank you, Veterans! You are a great honor to our country. God Bless you, and God Bless the USA.

Remembrance

 

On this day, we remember all those who lost their lives, their families and friends and all those impacted by what was arguably the most grave tragedy to ever occur on American soil. This is a day of sadness, reverence, remembrance and pain but also one of bravery, grit and the strength of the American spirit. 

ALWAYS remember. NEVER forget. God Bless America!

National Read a Book Day

 

Book lovers unite! Today is National Read a Book Day. Grab your favorite book and snuggle up. 

Books can transport us in time and place as well as provide comfort while pulling on the heart strings. Lose yourselves in the pages of a book and see where the story takes you. I plan to do the same!

If you are so inclined, please share your favorite books, either for yourself or your kids. I always love to add to my to-read pile.
