@BoundlessMAWFYP Completely depends. Some times I use tv but usually I use the soundtrack to Fantasia. If I don’t have noise I’ll get distracted by something on the wall. Don’t know how, but it’s always the wall.

@izzybug Yeah. Those trees look like they’d carry shanks.

@BoundlessMAWFYP I would love Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Lake. But that might just be because Helena Bonham Carter is the best.

@BoundlessMAWFYP I’m definitely a plotter. But only on the sense that I plot the kidnapping on my neighbours dogs. I always have ideas of where my stories will go and what I want out of them but it takes experimenting to find the right way to do it.

@brenier_marine @BoundlessMAWFYP Yes~. Terry Pratchett is gold.

@BoundlessMAWFYP The Princess Bride by William Goldman. It’s insanity at its finest and I wish my brain could do that.

@BoundlessMAWFYP Tom is determined, compassionate and well meaning.

I wonder what we will be refers to by historians as? Mental Millennials? Bonkers Boomers?

[Oscar S Beachamp @beachamp_s]

@ECbookblog @PhilipPullman Firstly, I hope you get better soon. Secondly, try the short stories first. Way more fun.

@CJSkuse Bunsen?

#MAWFYPChat Recently I’ve been hearing a lot of contradicting ideas about boys not reading much. In my personal experience I always found that boys will read but most of them lean towards adventure books or ones about misbehaviour. Do you think there any truth in this?

[Oscar S Beachamp @beachamp_s]

@ChelleyToy Thank you, that does help. Also, thank you for tanking the time to do this. I would have said this earlier but......... character count.

[Oscar S Beachamp @beachamp_s]

#MAWFYPChat I am writing an essay about how misbehaviour can affect how publishable a book is and I have been wondering if it’s considered to be more acceptable if it is openly adressed that the misbehaviours that are shown are bad?

[Oscar S Beachamp @beachamp_s]

@ChelleyToy Yes, sorry for not clarifying. #MAWFYPChat

#askaneditor @keslupo Do you know of any particular subject matter which is often poorly received by gatekeepers when publishing a book for children?

@malorieblackman @yabookprize I’m very glad you did. Some of the more shocking behaviours in naughts and crosses were what really made me love it.

#YA10 @yabookprize @malorieblackman Has there ever been anything that you were pressured to change in your books?
