characters death funny guy hear mourning novel people speak whether
Whether I'm writing a novel about a guy mourning the death of his father or whether I'm writing a show about people killing each other, you want to hear characters speak and be funny and witty.
element humor novelist people wrote
I'm a novelist first, and I wrote a bunch of books, and everything I write, I just find people are more interesting when there's an element of humor to it.
discomfort experience people work
I occasionally experience the discomfort of people assuming my work is autobiographical.
perfect people firsts
Love made us partners in narcissism, and we talked ceaselessly about how close we were, how perfect our connection was, like we were the first people in history to ever get it exactly right.
sibling funny-family people
Sometimes it’s heartbreaking to see your siblings as the people they’ve become. Maybe that’s why we all stay away from each other as a matter of course.
people parent impossible
It's hard to imagine her ever having felt lost, but it's impossible to know the people your parents were before they were your parents.
people waiting next
There are some people out there who don't wait for what come next. They decide what should come next and they go and make it happen.
love hate people
We don't stop loving people just because we hate them, but we don't stop hating them either.
book mean people
Obviously it's easier when I' m doing the adapting myself. But my feeling is, your potential upside far outweighs the downside. Ultimately, they [moviemakers] can't change your book. Your book remains on the shelf the way you wrote it. If they make a great movie of your book, then you have the equivalent of millions and millions of dollars of advertising for your book. If the movie's not that good, that doesn't mean the book's not good. It doesn't change what you've already written. It has the potential to reach more people.
past people long
I loved her for so long. Our past trails behind us like a comet's tail, the future stretched out before us like the universe. Things happen. People get lost and love breaks.
mistake thinking people
It would be a terrible mistake to go through life thinking that people are the sum total of what you see.
fast holding kindle sensation tactile work
I still enjoy the tactile sensation of holding a book. But when I need to read fast for work, I use the Kindle App on my iPad.
satisfying
There's something really satisfying if you've created a bunch of characters that have withstood 25 episodes.
I think one of my better gifts as a writer is empathy.
