It seems that so much writing is being done in the nineteenth-century model, where every connection has to be thoroughly explained.

I'm not really into comfort books. There are too many of those as it is. Just sort of narcotic books, like my grandmother used to read. They have value like Paxil has value, but there's plenty of them in the world already. There's a shortage of confronting, stimulating, exciting books.

Don't do this. I love you. Don't shut me out.

Honest is how I want to look. The truth doesn't glitter and shine.

You had to risk your life to get love. You had to get right to the edge of death to ever be saved.

Every character sees the world through a framework of education and experience that they're proud experts about. To write a character, find out what they know best, and THEN you'll know how they'll describe a "hot day." Or a "pretty girl."

The answer is there is no answer.
