heart dark light
Like most hearts, it was complicated, shaded with dark and dappled with light.
book writing light
Every well-written book is a light for me. When you write, you use other writers and their books as guides in the wilderness.
dark doors light
In a dark time, doors will sometimes magically open and let us step inside to the warmth and light of a community.
heart fighting light
Pea was aware suddenly of how fragile her heart was, how much darkness was inside it, fighting, always, with the light. She did not like the rat. She would neverlike the rat, but she knew what she must do to save her own heart.

The sound of the king's music made Despereaux's soul grow large and light inside of him.
light sweetness wells
Everything, as you well know . . . cannot always be sweetness and light.
light two long
the story is not a pretty one. there is violence in it. And cruelty. But stories that are not pretty have a certain value, too, I suppose. Everything, as you well know (having lived in this world long enough to have figured out a thing or two for yourself), cannont always be sweetness and light.

Stories are light. Light is precious in a world so dark. Begin at the beginning. Tell Gregory a story. Make some light.

Ideally, I'd like to work part time at the bookstore. That would give me more time to contend with all the office work of writing.
american-author children offered presented reading
Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift.
people pancakes adventurous
I love adventurous travel. I also love pancakes, and making pancakes for other people. You would definitely find me in the airy treetop as opposed to below ground.
