I just finished WICKED today. Incredible book.
i was saying just yesterday that i find no joy in insta anymore. if i must be there, i get in and get out. there's still value in it for work, but there's not joy.

You could have had me, Debbie. I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding. Good for Ginger blah blah blah 😜😘
Some rejections will knock you to the floor in defeat, and then you scrape yourself up and get back to agenting.
It's embarrassing to know how the world laughs at us for our asinine gun laws. We can't get out of our own way and we have only dead civilians to show for it.

It's a PW star for ON OUR WAY WITH MR. JAY by Chelsea Lin Wallace!

⭐ "Starring a beloved adult who brings everyone together, this jubilant picture book hails its school-commute VIP accordingly" 🌟

Read the full review here
I see memes that are like, Love Your Life. Take All The Pictures. NO. Don't take the pictures. This comes from someone who recently deleted 10k photos from her phone, aims to delete another 10k, & will still have more photos than a person needs. Stop taking so many pictures & enjoy the moments.
automagically. that word itself is magic.
This is SO GOOD. Seriously, if you're creating for kids, especially picture books, REEEEEAAAADDDD THIS:
#16 truth about making books for kids:

“When in doubt, opt for trying to see things how kids see rather than how we see things. (Again, we are lame and boring.)”

Don’t underestimate our lameness.
