12 x 12 Featured Author November 2019 – Lisa Rogers
When I was a young picture book reader, I lingered on the illustrations more than the text, imagining that I was in those worlds that were just hinted at on the page. With my debut picture book, I’ve now been privileged to witness for the first time how the world I made with words came […]
12 x 12 October 2019 Check-In
BOO! Here we are at the end of another month. I did not write a new draft, but I did a lot of revision on several different “old” drafts. It was fun to dig those back up to see if I could give them new life. I also spent a lot of time generating new […]

12 x 12 Featured Author October 2019 – Katrina Moore
WHEN TO OPEN (AND CLOSE) THE DOOR “OPEN THE DOOR . . . ” That’s what I willed myself to do as my hand clasped around the doorknob, rebelling—held down by the weight of a thousand “what ifs” before attending my first writing conference in March 2015. “What if I’m the only one who came […]
