I try to be a careful person. Most of the time my carelessness is completely unintentional.
love-is want persons
Part of love is letting a person be who they want to be
somewhere-else want persons
When I am with you, there is nowhere else I'd rather be. And I am a person who always wants to be somewhere else.
zoom losing-yourself persons
If you zoom close-if you get really close to someone, if you really get close to yourself-then you lose the other person, you lose yourself entirely. You get so close you can't see anything anymore.
something-new persons
There is always something new to learn about the person you love.
easy persons easy-things
It's not the easy things that let you get to know a person.
want indicators persons
Because when something happens, she's the person I want to tell. The most basic indicator of love.
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.

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.

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?
decision get-better belief
There are many things that can keep you in a relationship," I say. "Fear of being alone. Fear of disrupting the arrangement of your life. A decision to settle for something that's okay, because you don't know if you can get any better. Or maybe there's the irrational belief that it will get better, even if you know he won't change.
