If you love someone, truly love them, you should never cause them pain. Never fill their eyes with something so close to grief.

Love is too precious to be ashamed of.

I turned down Halloween parties every year, where people wanted zombies raised at the stroke of midnight or some such nonsense. The scarier my reputation got, the more people wanted me to come be scary for them. I'd told Bert I could always go and threaten to shoot all the partygoers, that'd be scary. Bert had not been amused. But he had stopped asking me to do parties.

I cannot say how strongly I object to people using other people's writing as research. Research is non-fiction, especially for horror, fantasy, science fiction. Do not take your research from other people's fiction. Just don't.

Knock your bad self out.

My boyfriends are all more romantic than I am, and so are my lovers.
