Lorito and I visited Claremont Immersion school, Home of the Parrots, today 🦜
And what an amazing school visit it was! We talked about how an idea becomes a book (sometimes several years later), the power of revision, and the importance of believing in yourself. There were some great questions and I left with lots of hugs. Thank you, Claremont Parrots! Me encantó conocerlos y poder hablar con ustedes en español 🤗
And thank you to @oldtownbooks for facilitating book sales ✨

My first DIY solo writing retreat 👩🏽💻
Drove an hour away to beautiful Winchester, VA in the Shenandoah Valley to work on a chapter book R&R. I rewrote the whole thing in first person and doubled the word count 💪🏽 But do I have about three pages worth of revision notes for myself? Yes. Did I decide to add another character after typing “the End”? Also yes. Is there a good chance this book won’t ever sell? Absolutely. But…
This was just what I needed. To be honest, I was dreading the whole thing, but packing up and setting a goal made it exciting. Also, April and May are crazy busy (and the news are scary) so it was nice to force open this window of time and space to do the thing.
If you’re thinking of going on your own DIY retreat, let me know. Or if you’ve done it before, feel free to share tips in the comments.

Il Visualizzatore Storie Instagram è uno strumento facile da usare che ti permette di guardare e salvare le storie, video, foto o IGTV di Instagram in modo segreto. Con questo servizio puoi scaricare contenuti e goderteli offline ogni volta che vuoi. Se trovi qualcosa di interessante su Instagram che vorresti rivedere più tardi o vuoi vedere le storie restando anonimo, il nostro Visualizzatore è perfetto per te. Anonstories offre una soluzione eccellente per mantenere la tua identità nascosta. Instagram ha lanciato per la prima volta la funzionalità Storie nell'agosto 2023, che è stata rapidamente adottata da altre piattaforme per il suo formato coinvolgente e tempestivo. Le storie permettono agli utenti di condividere aggiornamenti rapidi, che siano foto, video o selfie, arricchiti con testo, emoji o filtri, e sono visibili per solo 24 ore. Questo limite di tempo crea un forte coinvolgimento rispetto ai post normali. Oggi, le storie sono uno dei modi più popolari per connettersi e comunicare sui social media. Tuttavia, quando guardi una storia, il creatore può vedere il tuo nome nella loro lista di visualizzatori, il che potrebbe essere un problema per la privacy. E se desiderassi navigare tra le storie senza essere notato? Ecco dove Anonstories diventa utile. Ti consente di guardare contenuti pubblici su Instagram senza rivelare la tua identità. Basta inserire il nome utente del profilo che ti interessa e lo strumento mostrerà le sue ultime storie. Funzionalità del Visualizzatore Anonstories: - Navigazione Anonima: Guarda le storie senza apparire nella lista di visualizzazione. - Nessun Account Necessario: Visualizza contenuti pubblici senza registrarti su Instagram. - Download dei Contenuti: Salva qualsiasi contenuto delle storie direttamente sul tuo dispositivo per un uso offline. - Guarda i Punti Salienti: Accedi ai punti salienti di Instagram, anche oltre la finestra di 24 ore. - Monitoraggio dei Repost: Tieni traccia dei repost o dei livelli di interazione nelle storie per i profili personali. Limitazioni: - Questo strumento funziona solo con account pubblici; gli account privati restano inaccessibili. Vantaggi: - Privacy: Guarda qualsiasi contenuto su Instagram senza essere notato. - Semplice e Facile: Nessuna installazione di app o registrazione richiesta. - Strumenti Esclusivi: Scarica e gestisci contenuti in modi che Instagram non offre.
Segui gli aggiornamenti di Instagram discretamente proteggendo la tua privacy e restando anonimo.
Guarda profili e foto in modo anonimo facilmente usando il Visualizzatore di profili privati.
Questo strumento gratuito ti permette di visualizzare le storie di Instagram in modo anonimo, garantendo che la tua attività rimanga nascosta dall'utente che carica la storia.
Anonstories consente agli utenti di guardare le storie di Instagram senza avvisare il creatore.
Funziona senza problemi su iOS, Android, Windows, macOS e browser moderni come Chrome e Safari.
Garantisce una navigazione sicura e anonima senza richiedere credenziali di accesso.
Gli utenti possono visualizzare storie pubbliche semplicemente inserendo un nome utente—nessun account richiesto.
Scarica foto (JPEG) e video (MP4) facilmente.
Il servizio è gratuito.
Il contenuto degli account privati è accessibile solo ai follower.
I file sono destinati solo a uso personale o educativo e devono rispettare le normative sul copyright.
Inserisci un nome utente pubblico per visualizzare o scaricare storie. Il servizio genera link diretti per salvare i contenuti localmente.
