Watching Traitors UK and this guy says, “I’ve got a 90s haircut. Because y’know I’m like an old soul.” And I realized he’s only 29 so doesn’t remember the 90s. Anyway it made me laugh. 😅

I'm going to come back to this over and over and over again. Perfect advice for picture book writers from @janetsfox.bsky.social via @janefriedman.com.
Plot arc in children's picture books can be almost invisible. Yet like all great stories, the arc of character change must be present. It can't be random string of events.

More insight here from @janetsfox.bsky.social
The Surprising Complexity of Picture Books | Jane Friedman
Protagonist, antagonist, rising and falling action, arc of change, emotion—all must be developed in a picture book, and in under 500 words.

Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']:

Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

Hi! I teach tiny humans by day, and read and write all the twisty, murder-y, horror/suspense stuff by night.
