The GHOUL OF WINDYDOWN VALE book trailer is here! Thanks to @danharing for the amazing video treatment, and to @LarissaMarantz and @bemocs for the gorgeous artwork! @MacKidsSL @MacKidsBooks @FeiwelFriends

@MIPixelStudios It's still just as bad this morning (4/30). Sent a support ticket to @PlayHearthstone. Hopefully they're getting a lot of them so that they make fixing it a priority.

Trying to play #Hearthstone Battlegrounds. It's almost like they never bothered to stress test the servers or anything.. constant disconnects completely unplayable -_-

@LindaHume10 @JGB_Giraffes My pleasure, Linda! Congratulations again to the team on their excellent finish...and excellent Qs!

What an EXCITING day! Our @JGB_Giraffes BOB team tied for 2nd in the County competition. Then we ended the season with a virtual visit with @JBurtBooks. He was A M A Z I N G!! We heard so many insider secrets. 🤭Thank you for the hour together, Jake! 📚❤️

@AllyMalinenko I can't type "YES" as hard as I'd like to, because I'd break my keyboard. But YES, if, for no other reason, than to take it as a masterclass in dialogue writing. But there are 100s of other reasons, so...YES.

I've never seen a single episode of Buffy. Should I fix this?

@J3M1LYS This one, for sure:

guys whats the first ever ship that you obsessed over? like fully absorbed into your veins. couldnt get out of your head. would physically react to their scenes on screen and watch edits of them for hours on end.

@BWareAuthor Hi!

If there are any MG writers still left on here, please say hi. My feed needs you and your writing news to drown out all the other stuff that’s been sneaking in lately! Thank you.🫠

@mrmarkmillar Rankin Bass's The Last Unicorn.

Okay, I need recommendations for a classic family movie we might not have seen. I'm so bored of Pixar etc and something totally unexpected would be amazing. Your most brilliant thoughts below, please.

@JuddWinick Reminder: Ripley’s not the mom in that scene…

My child goes missing: “What she looks like? Um, I think I have a pic somewhere, but it’s from 6 years ago and she’s in a Halloween costume…” My cat goes missing: “Here’s 12,941 photos in 83 albums. If we print them we can make a flip book of her life up to now…”

@AllyMalinenko Drusilla. She makes all the best vampires.

You’re going to be a vampire. Who is turning you? 🧛‍♀️🦇

@bookatshepherd I’m still listening, for what it’s worth.

@JEngelMattern I keep trying to Write a haiku about my Cat chasing raindrops... None of my words feel Right. Anyone else inspired? #HaikuSaturday I dunno; drop the "but", make sure you pronounce "inspired" as two syllables, and don't say "hashtag", and I think you did a pretty good job...

Question for anyone who writes or watches TV: What are some examples of GREAT characters who were introduced BEYOND the first season? Could be a new love interest, rival, villain, arch nemesis, suspect, family member. But their arrival CHANGED the entire show for the better.

@doucette515 That Cleo is reppin' indigo is both ironic and delightful. A+++.

@JamesPonti @SimonKIDS Was great seeing you, James! Maybe run it back in September? ;)

5 Days, 5 States, 9 Schools, 6 Bookstores, the NYPL, 6 Author Friends, the Amazing Simon & Schuster Team, incredible young readers, educators, and parents. The Mission Manhattan Book Tour is wrapped. I am beat but have a full heart! Thank you so much! @SimonKIDS
