My 2 year old will be 3 on Friday and she's just started calling ice cubes "tinkles," because of the sound on the glass. 🥰 I want to remember these things before she gets it right, so I put some of her "wrongs" together while waiting on the bus. #kidlit #newpoem #poem

@DanWuori Myth busted? The. FULL MOON. Makes. Children. Insane. The End 🤣 but really between that and storm wind, this has been a tricky time in school. Home is home. I see it in class. Even quiet children are loopy. There's a reason werewolf tales exist! 😆

Over the last 4 weeks @AndrewsSusanM has been teaching me metre. I am now at about 80% accuracy and can spot 10% of those errors alone. 4 weeks ago, this was beyond me. Now I feel lightness under the wings. She should be charging for this. I met her here. She's a best friend.

With Mother's Day coming this weekend, here's one of my children's poems telling you, "How To Bake a Mummy." @TheDirigible Check out my grown-up page in the next few days for a new one over there and maybe a new one here too. It's an area I love to write about.

Busy telling anyone that'll listen in Lush that my friend @AttieLime has a poem in this box. One guy brought one @LushLtd 😂 I should be on commission! @emergencypoet

It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that children love disgusting poems. I'm enjoying the short ones. @RumbleCoral

I am taking the next week and a half off from my prompts on this page as I have taken on the job as a junior editor @loftbooks and also I am going on holiday. I'll still be on socially etc but just taking the time to focus on the grown up profile until I'm rocking and rolling.

I'll admit that I forgot it was Friday so a slightly late #fridayboostup for @rew_erin today. A top writer and supporter in this #kidlit community and I think we'll all agree that she's more than 'aspiring' when we check out her bio and her work. Happy Easter Erin!

So my eldest started the Rainbow's tonight and I can't believe I have a child old enough to do that. Got a permission slip for her first whole day outing too. What a brave new world we are entering over here. Mummy needs to take a deep breath!

Icymi, on May 11th I had an interview and some new poems on @moses_brian blogspot. Brian has recently released a new book with @Scallywagpress called On Poetty Street. Well worth a read and featuring on the blog also. Take a look if you can! Thanks again Brian!

💫 Things P5 had to say today when I read chps 1-3 of my novel to them. They gave amazing feedback on tightening it up. I'm so grateful. Taking the enthusiasm as a big win and laughing because we all know # 3 is more fantastic than the novel itself.💫😆

Morning run trail. I'm not sure how much exercise you get when you stop to take photos every 100 yards or so 😂 but it was so inviting.

Mummy Mine is the cuddler, the snuggler and the kiss; the tissue folder, the bag holder and the smile. Mine is lovely words on a sad day, the island I can rest on. The one that smells of lavender, and orange blossom. Mine is the world, the whole wide world. @TheToyPress

So you know when one of your most trusted crit partners tears a picture book apart (you know who you are), but you feel totally alive afterwards? That's when you know it was the right thing and work must begin almost immediately! Buzzing about this change of direction.

The temperatures still aren't that bad here and I find myself wanting this cold snap. So I read this lovely poem Jennifer wrote for me on #picturemethis the other day and felt wintry!

I started writing a bouncy poem about fluffy snow for @lozzakidwriting ’s new #picturemethis prompt, but this week’s weather took the poem somewhere else. Try out the prompt and see where you end up...
