lying writing advice
My advice to young writers would be to write every day, even if it is only a few words. Get yourself on the habit of writing and it will become a lifelong one. And find a place to write where you are physically comfortable. You can't concentrate if you aren't. Ernest Hemingway could only write standing up, and Truman Capote could only write lying down!
mom sorry darkness
Sorry, are you telling me that your demon-slaying buddies need to be driven to their next assignment with the forces of darkness by my mom?
rip should-have clothes
Is this the part where you start tearing off strips of your shirt to bind my wounds?" "If you wanted me to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked.
book writing magic
I am drawn to writing books about magic and the supernatural because those are the types of books I like to read. I've written many short stories with realistic settings, and I certainly wouldn't rule out realistic novels in the future!

"Did you just call me fat?" "It was an analogy." "I am not fat.

My rapier wit hides my inner pain.
writing character people
Sometimes minor characters are based on people I know, on friends of mine. But I'm not writing a thinly veiled version of my own life.
fun humor mean
That does it," said Jace. "I'm going to get you a dictionary for Christmas this year." "Why?" Isabelle said. "So you can look up 'fun.' I'm not sure you know what it means.
humor textbooks monsters
I'll just have them change the entry in the demonology textbook from 'almost extinct' to 'not extinct enough for Alec. He prefers his monsters really, really extinct.' Will that make you happy?
badass bones simon-lewis
I am a badass, and I recognize that you, too, are a badass.
book turns know-how
I like in books when we start the book and you really don't know how it's going to turn out.
ends made
I am, in the end, what you made me.
funny thinking half
If you were half as funny as you think you are, you'd be twice as funny as you are now.
