@kate_depalma heyyy I really like your book “Harvest Days: Giving Thanks Around The World” I’m currently using for a book report assigned and I was wondering if you remembered the copyright year? I can’t find any info about it online. 😭

This article details points I've argued SO hard as a kids editor. Sometimes in acquisitions & editing, we get really bogged down in our adult mindsets. Kids operate on totally different logic (which I dub "kids logic") and taste and POV, & we should get on their level more often!

LOVE the @oharasisters quote here - “Children like sweet and safe stories but they also like dark, bleak, unsettling or horrible stories. Children are like everyone else, they want stories that reflect the whole contradictory tangle of their lives.”

My partner asked me last night: What’s the point of following your dreams if you’re just going to punish yourself for it? I’ve been sitting with that all day.
Speak Now is for the girls who never had a single romantic interaction in the year 2010 but still cried on the floor of their bedrooms listening to Last Kiss on their iTouch.
@kate_depalma Such good advice! I skip meals so easily because I get hyperfocused on work and the meds I take curb my appetite 😩
@AKASteffon Example my 1st album I wore FingerWaves the entire time. My sound was a futuristic vibe even down to the way I danced it was a jerky move. But all the elements established the type of artist I was… you must be consistent when you are a new artist☺️
@AKASteffon This old school tactic if you do a bunch of things you confuse the audience. They don’t know who you are That’s why most successful artist have eras and for that era they consistently do the same style and sound so you build a particular fan base..
