Please, please, please do not run other people's work (those you're critiquing/beta reading/freelance editing for, or anyone's work) through an AI checker. The system may literally be then using that person's work! & they are trusting you w/their words-something very precious!

I’ve entered a humorous, character-driven story! I live in Pennsylvania (where we have 5 inches of snow today!), and I write middle grade & picture books. 📖 #PBParty
Have you entered the #PBParty contest yet? I love how people join from around the world. Where do you live and what genre did you submit? What else do you write or illustrate? You have until 8 pm Eastern to enter. Good luck. :) mindyalyseweiss.com/enter-th…

I’m thrilled that my story, Ox & the Serial Dilemma, received a PBParty honorable mention! I am so grateful to @MindyAlyseWeiss and all of the awesome judges for seeing the potential in my little Oxford Comma’s humorous search for his purpose in life! Thank you!! #PBParty #PB

After not querying for ages, I’ve finally finished a complete overhaul of my MG fantasy and am sending it out to agents! Phew. Why is it the longer I’ve been doing this, the more nerve wracking it is to query?! #amwriting #amquerying #kidlit #MG

Christmas isn’t the same since Grandma passed. But, when Mama hangs an extra stocking, Oona rushes to make gifts for the mystery guest, finding the joy of the season in the memories Grandma gifted forever. #PBPitch #L #Christmas #tradition
