I want to be an author under an alias.  I play pool. I like to hike. I want to hike the Appalachians.  I liked popular children book series as a kid. I would love to write short stories. I haven't had time to write lately.
I teach middle school. I want to write a young adult book before I die.  I am good at playing pool. I am adult who likes unicorns.  I like to read short stories.
Have you had any new ideas for your book? I'm thinking about writing a book series about vampires, what do you think? Sounds like something I'd read! I feel like a lot of authors have moved away from vampires since Twilight, but maybe that means this is time for them to make a comeback. Do you have ideas for the plot? I was thinking about having the plot center around a teen vampire trying to pretend to be a normal human teen, and getting into all sorts of shenanigans. Nice, it seems like a good setup for a series, lots of opportunities for different problems and adventures to come up. I've been trying to think of ideas for a short story but keep coming up blank. Any thoughts? That's a hard one. Maybe go for a hike and clear your head, see what pops into your head while you're walking in nature. Yeah, I haven't been since the last one. 5 hours was a lot even for me! Maybe I could set my short story on a hiking trail actually. There's some opportunity for a mystery there.  5 hours is so long, I think I would die, haha. A spooky mystery centered around a hiking trail sounds cool, I would read that. And then we'll have the crossover episode, where it turns out your vampire is the murderer! Haha it could be like the theory that every Disney movie is connected. We'll have the literary critics studying our work for ages!  Oooh, I like it! We should catch up for a coffee some time and work on our writing together. Yes that would be so fun! It's so much harder to procrastinate when there's someone physically there, maybe I'll actually get some writing done that way.  haha, exactly! I seem to write better with company. And coffee. Coffee definitely helps me write.
