Here's the thing: I LOVE MUSIC. There are works in almost every genre that make me FEEL. Goosebumps. Crying. "Inspire me to create" levels of feels.
So what do editors want? This one wants manuscripts to move me as much as my favorite songs.

MAMA MERGANSER! I was able to track down the now famous Lake Bemidji Common Merganser that has an adopted brood of over 76 babies! I love the story that these photos tell.Full gallery: brentcizekphoto.com/Wildlife/716-L…

Ariana Grande still has a hold on my soul.
Here's a #ThursdayAesthetic for something I will *never* write but is now on my #MSWL: a #YA fantasy about a black messiah and her kickass disciples feeding the hungry, killing kings, and convincing the kingdom that God is a woman

#PEASPROUTCHEN MAKES @HornBook's LIST OF STRANGE AND MAGICAL MIDDLE-GRADEIn truth, PEASPROUT is a fantasy with no actual magic, but it makes up for that in strangeness because, let’s face it, that’s me. Congrats @wenmass @rebstead @EMentior @Hey_buster tinyurl.com/yawjvtyp
@HornBook says #PeasproutChen by @HenryLienAuthor "dazzles" and includes it on a roundup of strange and magical middle-grade!
Also, "strange and magical" is my #mswl forever.

lunchtime thought: lately been getting some young writers asking for advice and i don't feel totally equipped to dispense it but i will say one area that is wide open should you choose to make it your milieu is hidden or forgotten or undertold stories of women of the pastI wants them, my preciouses. Fiction or nonfiction! (And teen or middle grade, as always!) #mswl
