Earlier this month, I had a Zoom #authorvisit with 40 first-graders learning remotely. We talked reading, writing, and imagination. A mom sent this photo. And this, right here, is a main reason why I #keepwriting. #KidLit #SoWorthIt ❤️📚

Is a critique group for you? It’s all about finding the right people. It’s ok to change, take breaks, and grow. Here’s what some of our members had to say: https://t.co/UGKhqSG851

On writing during hard times: “I write to figure things out, but I also know my time is limited, so it comes down to knowing that even time I think about writing is helpful to get excited again.” ~ Amanda Zieba

[Mississippi Valley Writers Guild @mvwguild]

On writing during a pandemic: “Having a prompt turned the faucet on for me. And then writing for 20 minutes. Just setting a timer to get started.” ~ @THelixon

[Mississippi Valley Writers Guild @mvwguild]

On writing during the pandemic: “I was collecting stories, hearing lots of stories. Sometimes I think it’s more important to listen. And then trust that writing will come again.” ~ @matt_cashion_
