Creative Tip:
Got WBS? (writer's block syndrome) Don't worry! Step away from your current project for a few minutes, maybe ask a friend or family member about your work and see if they can help get your creative brain working again. If not, don't stress. It'll come to you soon, sometimes we just need a distraction for a bit to get our creative flow back.
Bio
I'm a lover and reader of children's literature, especially picture books! I've always had an over active imagination and love to be able to have an outlet for the quirky side of me. My writing journey began in elementary school when I realized I loved writing poetry and would even do extra reports for fun. (Crazy, right? My kids would NEVER want to do that. Ha!)
I'm a graduate of the Institute of Children's Literature, a writer's workshop and conference lover, a member of PNWA, SCBWI, and a recent Literary contest winner for HOW TO MAKE YOUR MOM A NINJA.
