For podcasts, I love listening to some that aren't necessarily writing-related, but they spark my creativity and make me want to write beautiful things! My current obsessions: Solve This Murder, Escape This Podcast, Lateral, Good Job Brain, and Secretly Incredibly Fascinating. :) #KidLitChat

Just going to say, if you want to read an adult nonfiction book that thinks deeply about the qualities of excellent children’s literature, isn’t snobby about the many types of children’s books people write & read, and will help you make your own book even better:

#kidlitchat I used to get most news from Scbwi conferences—especially the LA Summer con-where I had fun conversations with writing friends. But with few SCBWI local conferences and SCBWI’s Summer in-person conference canceled, I mostly get information online like PW & CBI. Also my critique group.

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said “when you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

A whiteboard leaned against a shelf with many trinkets. On the whiteboard, it says “When you look at a blank page, think of who you love”

#kidlitchat My history of creating names goes back to my childhood. It all began with cats. I still have the lined paper with my pencil printed list of cat names. And the first mystery I wrote at age 11 (200 pages) was called Holiday Terror with the main character’s last name “Holiday.”

#kidlitchat another name story…I named a minor character a random name and then at a SCBWI conference, I realized I’d used the full name of a guy I’d met a few times. I’d accidentally used his full name. Afterwards I was quietly embarrassed whenever I saw him. Fortunately he never read my book.

#kidlitchat Another title story—when I sold my first books (Sweet Dream YA romances) in the 90’s, I created fun titles. They were changed to generic Opposites Attract & Almost Perfect. So for my 3rd Sweet Dream, I took a generic title from an old book—and for the first time they didn’t change it.

#kidlitchat revisions make the book shine. I usually do too many revisions to count. One picture book literally had half of the words cut after many editorial revisions.
