I'll tell it to you straight. This discussion of an upcoming title with @kylelukoff.bsky.social & Priscilla Tey reads more like an intensive course of picture book making than your average Q&A. And you get to read it for free, you lucky ducks! #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2026/06/03/c...

When The Wire was on, I used to blog all the time about the things I was learning about writing. Today is The Pitt's turn. saraharonson.substack.com/p/writing-le...

In a 1991 documentary that Trump suppressed, Christopher Reeve comments on Donald Trump: "𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘥, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥."

This week, I revisited a few old manuscripts, the ones I wish had sold, but didn't. One I still love. One I can fix. I'm a better writer now. I have an idea. Most: thank you very much. You taught me a lot. Back in the drawer you go. Back to work!

The view from here. #chicago

[Exit Murderer.]

Today's best question in the school visit: you seem to like writing about HEROES. What about a villain? If you were going to write the biography of a villain, whose would it be????? (My brain is swirling!!!)

I have always been a silver lining, glass half full gal. But these days, the struggle is real. So I thought about it. saraharonson.substack.com/p/balancing-...

Today, Writers and Creatives, may I suggest a deep breath. A little quiet. A solemn moment to help you separate yourself from the anger in the world? When I woke up this morning, I was overcome by fear. That isn’t how we get art made.

If you read my newsletter regularly, you know how much I love play. And supporting other. JUST LIU IT. saraharonson.substack.com/p/just-liu-it

I love what I do!!
