honesty book self
Some books and authors are best sellers, but most aren't. It may be easier to self-publish than it is to traditionally publish, but in all honesty, it's harder to be a best seller self-publishing than it is with a house.
book want
I priced my books at what I would want to spend on an electronic book.
book writing long
I don't want to be famous per se, but I want to write books for as long as I can. And I plan on writing a lot.
book fall reading
Travelling is a great time to catch up on my reading. It's hard falling asleep in new places, but a good book always makes it easier.

Writing has always felt like a compulsion. Even at high school there'd be times when people would ask me if I wanted to go and hang out and I'd sit home and write instead.
people idiot
I looked at him like he was an idiot, but he didn’t notice. Or maybe he got it so often, he thought that was how people looked at him.
love-is hatred doubt
You can't let doubt or fear or guilt eat away at you. You are good and you need to remember that above all else. Love is stronger than hatred, and you are made of love.
want want-me
You don't want me here, I don't wanna be here, so why am I here?
glee said angle
An oblique angle,” Jack said, and his bout of jealousy was quickly replaced with glee. “Ha! I told you I would work that in!
