affecting music pass time ways wonder
When I first started writing, I used to listen to music all the time because it would make time pass more quickly. And then I started to wonder if the music wasn't affecting my writing in ways that I didn't necessarily intend.
way certain knows
In a way, whoever you know in a certain place defines that place for you.
done goes-on way
The casualities seemed to go on and on. Just when I thought I was done losing her, I would find yet another way to love her all over again.
sexy way gentle
He kissed me, though not in a sexy way. Gentle. Tender.
school way different
Each period had required me to be a slightly different person, and that was exhausting. I wondered if school had always felt this way and whether it was like this for everone.
art mean way
It was odd to have something so personal out there in that way, but the good thing about art is that no one necessarily knows what you mean by it anyway.
interesting way happens
In life, Jane reflected, the most interesting things tend to happen when you're on your way to do something else.
calling clearly felt mine months particular six telling work
I hadn't ever felt any particular calling to be a novelist, and I clearly remember telling a friend of mine about six months before I started work on 'Elsewhere' that I would never write a novel.
saw time
My grandparents used to bring me books every time they saw me.
kept publishing similar
In a way, publishing in 2005 was similar to publishing in 1950. Nobody kept blogs; that was still optional. I didn't even have a website then.
describing people physical somebody
I think you can do a lot, like describing people with their physical characteristics, things like that, but to me, I've always found it to be a much more informative question to ask somebody what they read.
buy mind people strongly suspect watching
I'm in the middle of a 25-city book tour, and I like watching what people buy in bookstores. I see people buy books that I strongly suspect they will never read, and as an author, I must tell you, I don't mind this one bit. We buy books aspirationally.
suspected
For the record, I have long suspected that my favorite book is actually 'Charlotte's Web.'
given love somebody
Sometimes, readers, when they're young, are given, say, a book like 'Moby Dick' to read. And it is an interesting, complicated book, but it's not something that somebody who has never read a book before should be given as an example of why you'll really love to read, necessarily.
