Radically revising the story and putting it in the voice of 12-year-old Tim brought The Mirror of Doom to life. That was exciting to me.(less)

The Clever Mouse

A question on Quora asked for our best "one time my dad" stories. I couldn't resist sharing the following:

One time my dad was outsmarted by a mouse.

The poor creature had somehow gotten trapped in the microwave vent, which opened into the attic. If something wasn’t done, it would eventually die — and that possibility nearly broke my sensitive, animal-loving teenage heart.

Besides, there’s nothing my Read more of this blog post »
