writing trying dangerous
I write about what interests me. It's very dangerous when you try to satisfy an audience.
writing wife mind
I find you write with one person in mind. Usually for me that one person is my wife, because she's my most severe critic and understands best what I'm trying to do.
memories writing giving
I read less of everything now. With only fond memories of others' work, it will be interesting to give my own journal writing a try now.
writing damn bites
Just write about what bites you and damn the rest.
writing thinking today
If I don't feel like writing today or for a few days, I don't. And I don't think about it. It is not an obligation-it is the greatest privilege.
running writing ideas
A short story is a sprint, a novel is a marathon. Sprinters have seconds to get from here to there and then they are finished. Marathoners have to carefully pace themselves so that they don't run out of energy (or in the case of the novelist-- ideas) because they have so far to run. To mix the metaphor, writing a short story is like having a short intense affair, whereas writing a novel is like a long rich marriage.
writing long stories
Writing a short story is like having a short intense affair, whereas writing a novel is like a long rich marriage.

carrying clumsy distorted drastic either hand less mean reach scared simple surprised urgency whatever
Did that mean carrying a hand mirrow with me at all times so I could see myself from every angle? No, nothing so drastic or inane. Self-examination is usually a half-hearted, spontaneous thing we do when we're either scared or bored. As a result, whatever conclusions we reach are distorted either by a clumsy urgency or a listless sigh. But in my own case, I simple wanted to be less surprised by what I did after I did it.
bus life looking mind nice periods quiet start sunny time waiting watch weather
There are long quiet periods in life that are very much like waiting for a bus on a nice day. You don't mind being there so much because the weather is sunny and nice, and you're in no hurry. But after a while you start looking at your watch because there are more interesting things you could be doing, and it really is time the bus came.
ball break call came change court definitely fast floor gotten guard hold learned mindset point strength teammates teamwork type until
That's something that has not always been my strength. I used to get the ball and hold it until the point guard would come over. Now I have to look up the floor and get the fast break going. It's a definitely change that came through a lot of practice. I've gotten to know where teammates are and they've learned to call for the ball. It's definitely a teamwork type of the thing. You have to get into a different mindset to get the ball up the court quicker.

Do you know the German phrase, 'You can steal horses with him'? It means a person you can both make love with all night, passionately, then wake up the next morning and be completely silly.
additional adjust airline airlines consumers date fuel informed major per planning promptly tools total
For those consumers planning to travel, surcharges could total an additional $75 per person on average. Typically, when one major airline implements a fuel surcharge, other airlines promptly adjust their fares as a result. We want to keep consumers up to date and give them the tools to make the informed choices.
