care want too-much
Then teach me how to not care about someone who was everything to me. All I want is to know she's okay. Is that too much to ask?
beautiful care saws
Do you know how beautiful you are?' I shook my head 'I'm not. But you make me fell like I am.' I wanted to be beautiful. To him. For him. I didn't care how anybody else saw me. Only Ethan.
care
When You Weren't Looking ...why. ...Can't you ...care ...more ...about ...me.
phrases care how-to-love
I still care for you, you know.. That phrase again. Everyone cares for me. They just don't know how to love me.
smart getting-high care
Yeah, I know getting high isn't so smart. Ask me if I care.
useless care tomorrow
As I thought about that, I had to wonder: What will we know better about tomorrow? Who cares? Hindsight is useless.
children important care
When You Weren’t Looking The child became a woman, though she wasn’t ready to. Don’t ask how or why. Those questions are not important ones. Can’t you see you didn’t care enough to notice?
light shining care
Just keep on shining that light. The rest will take care of itself.
alone known
I couldn't have known 'Crank' was going to be published, let alone become a big hit. That book was very personal for me: I had to tell the story for myself.
believe pages sold verse
Believe it or not, I sold my first novel, 'Crank,' with only seventy-five pages complete. It was in verse then, and it was hard-hitting then.
people
There are people who think it's easier to write books in verse, and it's definitely not.
ask individual people
People inspire me. Everyone is such an individual and has unique stories. I'm a voyeur. I eavesdrop. Sometimes I ask questions. And sometimes people just want to tell me their stories.
best bit computers enjoy hot longer phones term
For short term relaxation, I take a hot tub. It's my best way to unblock writers' block, too. For a bit longer relaxation, I enjoy camping. Just being in the wilderness, with no phones or computers or anything I have to do really refreshes my spirit.
innocence nightmare
Innocence eroded into nightmare. All because of very bad touch. Love, corrupted.
