entertainment kind bigs
I'm kind of big on performance in general. I like the sort of entertainment where you can go in and be fully immersed in it.
writing emotional vivid-imagination
I'm an emotional sort of person in general and I have a vivid imagination, so I feel the whole spectrum of emotion strongly when I write.
thinking stories speak
I think that's a hallmark of a really good story that it has readers that it speaks to more than others.
fun book thinking
I think I get some of my love of adult books that can be fun from Douglas Adams.
waiting overwhelming get-back
I keep waiting for things to get back down to whelming, but they stay at overwhelming.

"I expected the corset unlacing would take place after dinner," Celia says mildly, earning a chorus of laughter. "We shall keep Miss Bowen as intimate company regardless of the state of her corset," Chandresh says. "Make a note of that," he adds, waving a hand at Marco. "Miss Bowen's corset is duly noted, sir," Marco replies, and the laghter bubbles over the table again.
stories matter reason
Old stories have a habit of being told and retold and changed. Each subsequent storyteller puts his or her mark upon it. Whatever truth the story once had is buried in bias and embellishment. The reasons do not matter as much as the story itself.
father names different
Her father picks different names for her as they change locales, but he uses Miranda often, presumably because he knows how much it annoys her.
librarian subjects ifs
Once they were librarians, but that is a subject they will only discuss if heavily intoxicated.
