Day 13: I don't talk much about my WIP short story, (almost) out of the woods, which I'm thinking about publishing soon, because it's not really a time travel story. But it does have some time travel in it. And lots of portals. #TimeTravelAuthors

I just realized that I've successfully joined the #5amwriters club every day this week. In other news, I finally finished this round of editing THE FIRST KID ON MARS I've been trying to get to for months. Weird coincidence.

Actual conversation in my classroom just now: "Mr Swift, where's the Lego bin?" "Behind my desk, next to the Rancor monster." I love my job.

The closer you get to one of them, the more ridiculous it looks. I was going to post a photo, but I'm pretty sure you all know what I'm talking about.

Day 15: There are no taxes anywhere in my stories. I guess I just don't think about them much. Instead, I would like to wish you all a happy Jackie Robinson Day, a much happier reason to celebrate April 15th. Let's all wear #42 today. #TimeTravelAuthors

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

I have a joke about Lysistrata but I'm not going to tell it to you until everybody stops fighting.

Day 13: Oh. Um, I don't think I do that. It's all very confusing. The really fun part is that BLUE SKIES and FROM NOW ON both tell the same story, from different points of view, so I had to work hard to make sure all the confusion matched up perfectly between the two stories. #TimeTravelAuthors

Just read this. I wish the moment were different too, but it's not. So everyone should read it.
