Somehow, Fenway and Hattie is 10 today. 💙🐶
A leap of faith that found its way to over a million readers. So grateful to every kid, teacher, and reader who made room for these two.

I'm not saying it's crazy cold. But I am saying that it was too cold for the kids to go outside for recess. In New Hampshire. As in, it was too cold for kids who live in New Hampshire to go outside.

Today I visited a school where one of the classes had pajama day. It is my deep wish to visit a school on pajama day where I also get to wear pajamas. Just putting that out there.

Yesterday, a 5th grader gave me a story he wrote from the POV of a dog, saying he was too scared to read it in front of the class. I told him I get it. That I would've never read in class in 5th grade (or ever).
Today I read his story. It involved much peeing & pooping. #kidsarethebest

I'm not saying that I'm old. But I am saying that I have reached the age where I find myself dancing to the music at Walgreens.

To whoever needs to hear this... If the story you're writing (or chapter or scene) is extra hard, takes extra long, feels like a slog - for whatever reason - you get bonus points.
FWIW, this also applies to working out, doing chores, and most other things in life. #amwriting
