(2/2) They maybe, MAYBE, have a chance to win a bike if they show up, no matter what. I get what the school's doing, but we have to get rid of this idea of attendance being more important than personal health. #attendance #school #dadlife

Got a message from the school all kids with 100% attendance will be entered into a drawing to win prizes. We spent the pandemic teaching them about how to protect themselves and others from getting sick, but I guess forget that. (1/2) #attendance #school #dadlife

"I write books no one reads in a genre that supposedly doesn't sell, in a fading industry, on a dying world that is on fire." I love waking up to those positive writer's thoughts! #writerslife #authors #thestruggleisreal

There's nothing worse than having that realization that you have plans later. Like, I was fine when I thought I only had the normal amount of things to do today. #dadlife

(2/2) war for film rights before the book ever came out? And you're frustrated b/c you know you've got a book coming out that's the best thing you've done but know you'll be lucky to get a fraction of the attention but have a better book? Anyway I'm doing great. How are you? #writerslife #authors

Ever read a book that has a great premise but by the time you reach the end you're just angry? Plotlines that go nowhere, characters that disappear, new plots introduced in the last few pages, then it just stops? Then you get angrier because it's from a major publisher and there was a bidding (1/2)

Pro tip: don't stop writing mid-chapter to go on holiday. I have no idea what my characters are supposed to be doing. #writerslife

Almost put on the abridged version of It's A Wonderful Life on Prime until thinking I'd rather watch the full version. So glad. Has anyone watched the abridged version? It sounds like absolute garbage. #holidays #holidayseason #itsawonderfullife

Took the kids to a light up Christmas village set to music. 8 yr old: Is this it? Me: What? This is amazing! 5 yr old: If I wanted to see flashing lights I'd play with the light switch in the kitchen. 8 yr old: We have lights in every room at home. Big deal. #dadlife #boredkids #christmasmagic

The worst part about taking a decade away from writing is that when I came back, another writer had the same name as me. Now every time I release a book I have to ask the Goodreads librarians to attribute it to me, not the other one #writers #authors #writerslife

Installed a new furnace today and as the kids walked in the door from school my 8 yr old immediately said, "Hey, we have heat again. You're not a bad parent anymore." 🙄🙄🙄 #dadlife

I never realized what a delicate flower I was until our furnace stopped working. Temp started to drop in my office and I was ready to give up on being an author. #authors #writers #writerslife #winter

Ever have those days when you think, "Why am I even doing this? I'm just screaming into the void." I know it's just exhaustion, but I really hate the days I'm filled with thoughts like that. #writerslife #writers #authors #authorsofbsky
