Atlas Obscura @atlasobscura

Once known as “the Black Eden of Michigan,” Idlewild was a thriving African American resort community founded in 1912. From roughly 1920 to the mid-1960s, Idlewild was one of the premier holiday venues for African Americans. trib.al/dGBUYUB

Someone write me a historical romance set at Idlewild. #MSWL

I feel like this could be the inciting incident for a novel. #mswl

Red Dead Redemption 2 is life changing. That is all. If anyone has written a fantasy novel with a Western feel/setting/influence. Please send it to me, I’d love to read it #RDR2 #MSWL

Layne Fargo @LayneFargo

My latest self-Google (come on, we all do it) turned up this garbled version of the TEMPER synopsis and I am DYING

"Layne Fargo's debut novel, Mood" is "for followers of the excessive stress of the NYT bestseller Luckiest Lady Alive" 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/1V17eTv4jA

updating my #MSWL to reflect my interest in "formidable ladies" and "excessive stress"

I really hope "star-crossed lesbian serial killers in high school" is on someone's MSWL. twitter.com/SarahWatson42/…

I’d be interested in seeing this #MSWL

Fantasy worldbuilding props if there's a quasi-illegal alternate currency made out of very small persistent spells created in bulk in sweatshops by apprentice sorcerers, that is causing an inflationary bubble as it gradually depletes the global mana supply all magic relies on. twitter.com/redtwitdown/st…

Would love a detective series set in Northern California, quirky hippie-farmer small towns, marijuana fields, fire season, Pomo country, wineries, coastal redwoods. #MSWL

"Commercial/upmarket fiction that handles family secrets/reconciliation w/tenderness like THE MEMORY GARDEN" @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Ed Solomon @ed_solomon

I'd so rather have a "flawed" screenplay with an original voice than a perfectly structured one that feels like literally anyone could have written it. (And with the plethora of "how to" books out there, pretty much anyone *can* write one, though very few can write a good one.)

I've often heard discussion about where story beats in kids' fiction are "supposed" to be (for commercial effect/familiarity), and it bugs me. I really appreciate this thread that reminds us that a standard is a common point of reference, not a rubric for success. #writetip #mswl

I would LOVE a YA novel about dance that shows just how much dedication and discipline it takes, the mindset that is necessary, while also discussing the privilege needed to participate at an elite level. I’ll be super picky about this as a former dancer. #MSWL

Jenny @ Reading the End @readingtheend

all I want to say about this is that cinnamon rolls who fall in love with cynics and the cynics are like "what is happening, stop liking me" and the cinnamon rolls are like "yayyyyyy I like you" are the best

#MSWL, for real. I love this sort of relationship dynamic.
