The Writer's Kid Table of (Mal)Contents

    • Books

This past week was rough on Team (mal)Contents, y'all. Scarlet's shared a bit about what's going on with her family on social media recently (so go read about it there). Dave was feeling pretty rough on Friday, so we had to postpone recording. But rather than skip this week, I decided to do something fun and introduce you to a member of the next generation of the Armstrong army: my eldest daughter Abigail.


Abigail loves reading, and she's becoming quite the writer herself, spending many hours each day working on her stories. Listen in as we discuss:


Some of Abigail's favorite series
What she likes reading the most
What it's like growing up in a house full of books
What the best and worst things about having a dad for a writer is
What plotting a story looks like for her
If she feels resentful about being the gatekeeper on books for her siblings



A few of the books mentioned on today's episode


The Gateway Chronicles by K.B. Hoyle

Bone by Jeff Smith

The Map to Everywhere by Carrie Ryan and John Parker Davis

Keep of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger
