Ive just hit my favorite part—got pages and pages to go, but also leaving the “getting to know you” phase of the book.

Let’s all say it together: the fake Christmas tree will not fit back in the original packaging. Release that stress from your shoulders right now.

One challenge of being an extroverted nerd is the want to talk to everyone who is wearing a sci-fi/fantasy t-shirt while shopping. One of the great things about it though is how today I got to talk to a stranger at Target about which Star Trek Captain is the best. It's Jean Luc.

Okay. Have you noticed how dusty your home gets during Christmas Brought Me You? Like…I need to excuse myself and check the ventilation. I reckon the ceiling fans are verklempt and the ducts have a bunch of emotions.

Prett neat! My Saturday Gig has a nice sign in the front of the office. That said, on the way to work I’ve mastered getting stuck in traffic by Marietta Square due to all the 5k jingle jogs and turkey trots and Santa Dashes.

There's a cat that absolutely sashays in front of our kitchen window for the sole purpose of driving our dogs bonkers. It knows what its doing. Thus I will solve this problem by writing a story about cat comeuppance (once all this barking stops). It's the Writer Way.

I promise I didn’t give this student a dollar. I can tell you that they have no idea how much their letter made my day.

A student was late nearly everyday to school last week. He and I came up with a plan that if made it on time to school this week, he’d get to hang out at the end of the day to play some games. Not only was he on time everyday, this afternoon he invented his own game. #tabletop

Brain: we need to get some sleep, full day of counseling on Saturday. Brain: that’s a neat story idea, you should write it down. Brain: also, why does your neck hurt? Me: fine. It’s 4am. I know where this is going. Coffee: I’m here for you.

Eduardo and I are honored to be part of this Fairy Tale Team. Eduardo wasn’t available for comment though as he’s on assignment.

And this is my new morning commute.

Doing a Virtual Elementary School Author Visit! The best question of the day regarding writing stories and publishing has been: "You know chickens? Why do they walk so funny?" Love it.

Exploring science careers with a class and watching a Nat Geo Best Job Ever video. on a marine biologist. At one point, a kiddo raises her hand and sincerely asks, "Does he know where mermaids live?" I'd like to think he does.

I took a sip of coffee while wearing my mask. I think I need a coffee before I have my first coffee. Most likely I'll also lose my glasses today when they are on the top of head.

Kids need play...actually, we all need play.

I’ve read all these books and have attempted to write at least a third of them 🤓

Good morning, today is August the Foreverteenth. There are 2,000,000 more days until 2021. Please plan accordingly for this Weekyear.

Back in the school house! Let's do some Social Emotional Learning while being Socially Distant! @LockheedElem

Have read numerous books recently with the line, "His/her/their smile didn't reach their eyes." Has such a phrase reached Trope Status?

npr.org/sections/coronavirus… I'm happy to say that more than half the people I know on twitter are humans.
