I had Flipped. -Bryce Loski

It was beyond embarrassing or humiliating or even mortifying. It was ego-slaying!

It's experiences in life that give us something to write about, and since good fiction is applied tension, you'll have an arsenal of good material if life hasn't been peachy (and not a whole lot if it has).

I just need some time to get over all those years of having liked him

But in my heart I knew the old Bryce was toast. There was no going back. Not to Garrett or Shelly or Miranda or any of the other people who wouldn't understand. Juli was different, but after all these years that didn't bother me anymore. I liked it. I liked her.

I realize something. That wasn't a finish line for me...This is my new starting line.

Sometimes the things we really want are right in front of us. We just don't see them.
