I'd rather let the fiction speak for itself and I don't want to write fiction that tells people how to feel, and I don't want to be judgmental in the fiction.
People can get accustomed to anything, right? Habit does things to people.
I think a lot of snowflakes are alike...and I think a lot of people are alike too.
Open the hood of a car and it will tell you something about the people who designed it, is just one of many phrases I’m tortured by.
Eventually everyone has to hit the dark side of life - Someone doesn't like you, someone doesn't like your work, someone doesn't love you back... people die. What we have is a generation who are super-confident and super-positive about things, but when the least bit of darkness enters their lives, they're paralyzed.
I stare into a thin, web-like crack above the urinal's handle and think to myself that if I were to disappear into that crack, say somehow miniaturize and slip into it, the odds are good that no one would notice I was gone. No... one... would... care. In fact some, if they noticed my absence, might feel an odd, indefinable sense of relief. This is true: the world is better off with some people gone. Our lives are not all interconnected. That theory is crock. Some people truly do not need to be here.
People are afraid to merge.
Why would I care what other people are thinking? I don't care what an audience thinks of me.
You learn to move on without the people you love.
Our lives are not all interconnected. That theory is a crock. Some people truly do not need to be here.
Why was I holding on to something that would never be mine? But isn't that what people do?
I keep feeling that people are becoming less human and more animalistic. They seem to think less and feel less so that everyone is operating on a very primitive level. I wonder what you and I will see in our lifetimes. It seems so hopeless yet we must keep on trying ... I guess we can't escape being a product of the times, can we?
I just sort of write the book I feel like writing given the emotional place I am in my life at the time.
Hope E. L .James doesn't think I'm being a prankster. I really want to adapt her novels for the screen. Christian Grey is a writer's dream.
