Maybe there is more truth in how you feel than in what actually happens.

She was alive, and they were dead. She had to try to make her life big. As big as she could. She promised Bailey she would keep playing.

But certain souls cohere. It's rare but possible. But it takes two powerful wills to make it so.

She thought she was independent and strong, but she got one small taste of love and she was hungrier than anyone. She was ravenous.

A loving soul was always more beautiful over the long haul, but actual prettiness was fleeting.

I did the searching and remembering, she did the disappearing and the forgetting.

Parents were the only ones obligated to love you; from the rest of the world you had to earn it.

I always interpret coincidences as little clues to our destiny
believe writing character
I do believe that characters in novels belong to their writers and their readers pretty equally. I've learned a lot of things about the characters I write from people who read about them. Readers expand them in ways I don't think of and take them to places I can't go.
believe people first-impression
People sometimes talk about the power of first impressions, and believe me, there is truth to it.
