11 year-old Troy needs to save his family of cryptids and legendary creatures. With only his best friend and ancient samurai weapons, can he defeat the bad guys and survive a werewolf attack? It can't be any harder than dealing with middle school bullies, can it? #KidLitPit #MG

@kendylldrilling You requested mine from #flippit. Have you seen it? It's full of lore, myths, cryptids...

[Jennifer Brym-Bates @BatesBrym]

@AngelleTerrell This sounds amazing!

[Jennifer Brym-Bates @BatesBrym]

Fighting bad guys is easier than making friends when you're in middle school. Especially when those bad guys are trying to kidnap my family. Did I mention my family members are cryptids and legendary creatures? #KidLitPit #MG #SCULO

@davidmcwriter I had an entire small town of imaginary friends!

Getting ready for #KidLitPit

@EileneSpear When mine does that (or any household chore), he always points it out like he wants a cookie. "Look, I did the dished for you."

@Luminate_Design Thanks so much for the article...this is what I did.

I'm not able to follow any more people?

Eleven-year-old Troy has one goal- make friends. But when your family includes a smelly sasquatch, an overly friendly Chupacabra, and a gargoyle who cheats, blending in at school is a challenge. To make life more difficult- his mom is dating his teacher! #PitchDis #MG

@AshDylanLit Wouldn't that be awesome if books picked us?

This will be my first #writerslift. Looking for my fellow writers!

[Jennifer Brym-Bates @BatesBrym]

@glitter__ghost Two dogs, three cats, and if there's room left...one husband!

Like every kid in middle school, Troy wants to make friends and avoid bullies. But that's not easy when your family includes a smelly sasquatch, goblins, an overly friendly chupacabra and a werewolf. Maybe fighting the bad guys will be easier.#PitchDis #MG

The only good thing about the main AC being out, is that I'm stuck in my bedroom and the window AC. I can write for hours without interruption. #amwriting #amediting

Garden is looking good. I'll be picking peas this weekend. Now, back to writing....

@joboyle2010 I just totally changed a MAJOR part of my romance novel because...well, it happened that way.

[Jennifer Brym-Bates @BatesBrym]

Sending out another batch of queries for my MG novel, and pounding the keyboard on my romance novel.

@TagonistKnights Thanks for the reply. Just how does one nudge?

[Jennifer Brym-Bates @BatesBrym]

At what point would it be appropriate to 'nudge' an agent? #amquerying #amwriting
