"I'm goin' surfin 'cause I don't like your face" might be the single greatest song lyric of my lifetime.

I’ve somehow ended up on a group email for a (bunch of strangers’) fly fishing trip and it’s the greatest. There’s talk of outfits and what I assume are types of flies? For the fishing? Who can say! Never been, but now I think I should give it a shot. Or…drop a line? Cast a fly? How does this work?

Today, writing = Googling "What do hippos smell like?" Added bonus: staring at photos of baby hippos for the last half hour.

Walking into @parnassusbooks.bsky.social to see this never gets old.

Excited to have @rosenbaumwrites.bsky.social bring his writing workshop to the Dickson County Public Library in June!

Very excited about this news!

Let’s say, hypothetically, that someone was hanging on by a thread emotionally (because of all of the things), but that someone really wanted to watch ADOLESCENCE. Would this be a terrible idea? Or worth it?

I hope to someday find a hobby I love as much as my kids love collecting garbage.

Podcast alert! Had the BEST conversation with my friend, Steve Cuden, on his fantastic StoryBeat podcast. We talk writing tips, screenwriting, and all sorts of other fun stuff. Check it out wherever you listen to podcasts! Also on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkIm...

I'm pretty sure my 7-yr-old started a Fight Club with her stuffed animals and let me tell you...I am here for this.

Loved getting to do a writing workshop with some incredible kids (and their grownups 😁) last night at Union Ave Books in Knoxville!

Check out my guest post on Unleashing Readers (link in comments)!

Knoxville! I’m heading your way in two weeks! Come see me at Union Ave Books on January 16th and let’s talk books, donuts, and The Ghost Rules. So gather up all your East TN friends, enemies, and book peeps and let’s hang!

repeat the sounding joy...

That Supes trailer...holy Krypto. I'd like it now please thank you.

Last week I was invited to speak at the same middle school I attended a million years ago and it was a blast! I got to talk to 200+ 6th graders about writing and The Ghost Rules in the same cafeteria where I ate sticky buns with chocolate milk every day for lunch back in the 90s (sorry mom...).

School visits as an author are just the greatest. Today I got to hang out with 4 different groups of 6th graders who asked the best questions about writing and publishing (and, for some reason, the greatest horror movies of all time). Loved it!

Shriners are confusing. But I do respect their parade consistency.

Thrilled to see The Ghost Rules featured in the @parnassusbooks.bsky.social 2024 Holiday Catalog! Indie bookstores are the best!
