Roy wants to blend in with the drizzle of raindrops, but that means hiding who he truly is under his raincoat. Until Biv, a ball of sunshine, inspires him to share his true colors. Together, they're RAINING RAINBOWS.

Got my picky eater to eat a banana this morning!!!
Parent win for the week!

It's always annoyed me how the verb for shampoo is shampooing, but conditioner isn't conditionering.

I put the "No Chew" polish on my kids fingernails this morning... I must've gotten a little on my thumb, and I bet you can't guess who I figured that out. 😂😂🤢

Well, I didn't get selected for PBRisingStars, but a mentor had requested more work from me while reviewing applications.

This feels huge for me. Someone wanted more of my words. 🥹 Thank you! ❤️

I had an acting agent before, and I ADORED her. I could visit and talk with her, always felt like a teammate. But I witnessed her handling contracts, and she was like a lawyer. It was amazing! That's what I'd like for a lit agent. I just don't know how to search for that.

[Nickolas Rice @slikniky]

#writingcommunity, how do you know if you should query an agent? Sometimes it feels like tossing queries in the air and going along with whoever says yes first.
This makes querying hard for me. I know it's a business, but do I hold out for my fave? Or just take a yes?

[Nickolas Rice @slikniky]

@1Storyteller Wow! That's some luck. 🙁

I won the radio trivia this morning and got a $40 ACE gift card! (Yay more garden supplies!)

The question was:
"A recent statistic says 30% of adults have at least one of these on their skin."

My library card design didn't win the contest, but for this being my first digital art, I am SO proud of myself.

@NikkiRobbAuthor @REstepLit Missed pun. I see it now, but my compliment remains. I love this poster and pitch!

[Nickolas Rice @slikniky]

@NikkiRobbAuthor @REstepLit This is ADORABLE!!!

I scheduled my posts for #posterpit EARLY for me, and then had to teach kid's improv this morning. When I logged in and saw my poster's engagements....🥹🥹 I drew each of those, and y'all's tapped-hearts made my real one almost burst with happy. Thank you so much!

Cyd is utterly unnoticeable... until magic glasses reveal hidden cryptids at the zoo. As he learns about sea serpents, Yetis, and Chupacabras, he starts to see who he really is.

Alan's dad is deployed for six months, and Alan misses his hugs. LETTERS FROM DAD arrive for Alan every Monday. They help time pass, but Alan's heart won't be whole until he can wrap his arms around Dad again.

My 6yo was telling me about a TV show and said:
"They rescued her from... Oh what's that word. It's one of those things from the 90s...

Oh a well!"
