One of the best things I do for my writing is go for quiet walks afterward, phone in pocket. Sometimes I solve a plot problem or see an opportunity. It could be as small as tweaking a name. Sometimes it just helps things sink in. I never regret it. #writesky

I write short books and I cannot lie. Those are the kind I’ve always preferred to read. It was never a problem for me in kids’ books, and now that I’m writing for adults… things seem to be shifting there too? So many short kings hitting the shelves lately… #writesky #publishing

Won my NFL Winners league then placed 5th to a scurrilous bunch of internet strangers! Hard to overstate how many hours of respite fantasy football gave me from the (also violent but not the fun kind) world this year. Take the wins where you can get ‘em! 🏆 🏈
