Woohoo! My daughter will get to stay up a bit late just for this! You'll be her bedtime story. :)

I first I thought this said "Writing Irresponsible Picture Books" and I was like yessssssssss I need that. 😂 #kidlitchat

I recently had an experience like this. It was wild! I literally compared our MSs beat by beat and they were so similar. How the heck does that happen? #kidlitchat

Totally. I think I mean, I find the very concept of trends fascinating. How, in a slow moving business, do they form? Larger cultural shifts, natural ebbs and flows, pendulum swings, big wig editorial meetings, something conscious or unconscious, that leads to new trends in publishing? #kidlitchat

What I find interesting is that, since books come out years after they are acquired, then most likely those authors weren't chasing trends...they just happened to be on trend. How, then, does a trend form? Like, it must all happens behind the scenes before we start to see it on shelves. #kidlitchat

It certainly seems to be true, not only with what's being acquired, but also with what's already starting to come out! #kidlitchat

I read a lot of PBs and I definitely *notice* trends and find them interesting, but they don't affect what I choose to make. I just create whatever feels right to me. If that happens to align with current trends, great! If not, well, trends change! #kidlitchat

We can't top it. We can only ever aspire to be worthy of being at Bearsuit Turtle's feet...I mean, paws.

I am obsessed with this book. "I also have something shocking to share." Peak comedy.

This turned out really great, Brian!

Woohoo! We love Lynnor!!!

Woohoo! My daughter and I will join!
