Querying writers -- Please give yourselves some grace and stop fretting about a few silly typos in your queries. We probably won't notice them, we're not going to hold them against you, and if we DO hold them against you, you don't want to work with us anyway.

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.

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.
