weather air bullshit
Just for the record, the weather today is calm and sunny, but the air is full of bullshit.
emotional weather today
Just for the record, the weather today is increasing turmoil with a possible physical and emotional breakdown.
weather today denial
The weather today is an increasing trend towards denial.
weather today resignation
The weather today is partly angry, leading to resignation and ultimatums.
notebook writing weather
I take pens and I write on the inside of my arm. When I'm with people and somebody says a really fascinating anecdote, or fact, or phrase, I'll write it on the inside of my arm. At the end of the day, I'll take the very best things that are on my arm and I'll copy them into a notebook that I always carry and only when the weather is absolutely terrible will I really key the very best of that notebook into the computer. At that point, it's all sort of censored twice - only the best things go from the arm to the book and only the best things go from the book to the computer.

Arguing that God doesn't exist would be like people in the 10th century arguing that germs and microbes didn't exist because they couldn't see them.
apostle escape follow hard running
Every apostle or disciple, as much as they're running to follow their savior- they're running just as hard to escape something else.
people stuff wild
People say I make up wild stories. But all I have to do is write down stuff that really happens.
characters third
The third person allows characters to really attack themselves. We all do this - attack ourselves - every hour of our lives.
crave forget matter sex
The thing about sex is no matter how much you crave it, you can forget it.
looks room three windows woods
I usually write in my kitchen, which is a large, octagonal room that looks into woods - three big windows look out into the trees.
adopt fringe model people presenting
I've always been very curious about fringe cultures where people temporarily adopt a different social model or way of presenting themselves.
age god
At the age of 31, I realized, 'Oh my God, I may die like everyone else.'
longer time
Most novels, I find, are three times longer than they need to be. Very little happens, and I don't want to waste my time with them.
