To those interested in writing/illustrating picture books for young people: I'm starting to post my free #PictureBooks101 series on my blog (updating & adding to posts I originally shared on Substack). First post is up today!

Already bawled my eyes out watching the Wicked For Good trailer 😭 how am i supposed to survive the whole movie in november???

You might’ve heard me say: the goal of a creative practice is to refine what you’ve made until you can bear witness to it with a quiet mind—free from the whisper of an urge to change anything.

Thinking this morning that—bearing witness to whatever you’ve made—you should also have a full heart.

Seeing a lot of posts about how Bluesky’s growth has slowed, about how it’s waning popularity is troubling.

I was the 523rd person to join, and I am untroubled.

Bluesky has never been about waiting for the whole world to show up. It has always been about the portion of the world that’s here.

I swear the smell of apple, cinnamon, and lemon mixed together is the most heavenly scent in the world! And it tastes amazing 🤩

Why read? Long form reading has unique benefits movies/games can’t match precisely. It enhances imagination, visualization, attention span, vocab, empathy, emotional intelligence, problem solving, ambiguity tolerance, stress management, memory, and overall cognitive function.

My agency is not yet on Bluesky, but I figured it’d be nice to put together a starter pack of the authors and/or illustrators of BookEnds Literary who’ve already made it here.

Say hi to my agency siblings!

Hi Brian! I grew up as a sporty kid and competed all the time. This project sounds wonderful!
Here's my portfolio www.abigailtan.com and here's a sulky girl whose soccer class got canceled because of the rain:

He could've just ignored the messages but instead he took time to reach out to you politely. That's so kind of him!

This lively little girl believes she should be living on the moon, reigning over a joyful colony of rabbits! She was inspired by Chang E, the Chinese moon goddess.
I plan to develop a fun story based on her character 😆🌜🐰

Everybody's been speculating on femke vs sydney duel for months now. It's everywhere on social media. I wonder how they manage to perform well under such pressure. If it were me, i would've gotten gerd fr 🫨🫠 #olympics #athletics #trackandfield
