growing-up reality mind
Part of growing up is making sure your sense of reality isn't entirely grounded in your own mind.
clothes mind shapes
apparel, n.: There are times I don’t mind doing the laundry, because folding your clothes reminds me of the shape of you.
mind impulse one-word
Her mind is an unquiet one, words and thoughts and impulses constantly crashing into each other.
hate mind able
Without you I wouldn't have been able to contain the hate. I would have used it against myself. You're the one who helped me control it. My mind spun out to other things. But it always came back to you.
moving mind legs
We just want to walk. Our legs need to move to keep our minds from collapsing.
song dark mind
It will affect me in ways I can't even begin to get my mind around. This day is a dark crater. There is no room for songs. The songs are wrong. Every song is wrong. And I don't know what to do without music.
heart mind strange
That strange, twisted, torn love. That conflict between what your heart knows is right and what your mind is told is right.

I don't want to steal anybody's story. I very much want to use the stories that I hear to get lost in my mind, to tell a larger story.
finishing love novels people vampire wanting
People read vampire novels and say, 'Oh I want to read another vampire novel.' People read fantasy, and they're like, 'Oh I love fantasy.' I don't know that people are necessarily finishing 'Hunger Games' and immediately wanting to read another dystopian tale.
author perfect
There's no such thing as a perfect person, so it makes no sense to write a perfect person. I don't know any author who'd try. And we write characters, not representations of groups.
honestly matters poorly reflects second true whether
I can honestly say I've never thought for a second about whether a character reflects poorly on any group. All that matters to me is that the character is true to my belief in who he or she is.
bouncing guarantees love written
I love bouncing my words off of someone else's, and the fact that writing a story with someone else guarantees you'll get something you never, ever would have written on your own.
voice silent
That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.
order needs feels
Why do we feel the need to disconnect in order to connect?
