battle lines allies
Listen before you draw your battle lines, lest you alienate your allies.
promise trust-me threat
You can trust me to keep my word. I always keep my word, promises or threats.
fall love-you taken
Money drives the world, but when everything falls apart to leave the underpinnings of our life bare to the scrutiny of critics and thieves, the only thing remaining, the only thing that can't be taken away, is the love you hold for the people you care about.
morning july squinting
Good Lord, I thought, squinting at the bright glare of a late-July morning. No wonder I slept through this. It was noisy with shrieking birds, and already hot.
want i-can one-thing
I want one thing I can point to and say, 'that is good, and it's a part of me.'
heart
For all his sourness, he was ruled by his heart.
running ivy romance
Plan B?' Ivy said. 'What is plan B?' Jenks reddened. 'Grab the fish and run like hell,' he muttered, and I almost giggled.
writing weekend wish
I wish I could say I write 9-5. It's usually more like 8-6, every day but the weekends.
moving people opinion
Music moves society more than most people realize. In my opinion, it's a soft manipulator of influence and change.
smart odds people
Teens like a lot of the same things adults do: smart people doing amazing things against awful odds.
jobs fall writing
Don't fall into the trap of having to have everything perfect to write or wait until the mood strikes you. If you want it as a job, treat it like a job, and just as you don't go to work only when you feel like it, you have to condition yourself to sit and write even when the ideas don't flow.
moving character littles
I've found that when I'm having trouble solidifying a character or a scene, that music will often free my subconscious just that last little bit to allow me to move forward, and often it's in a direction that I didn't expect, but is 100 percent true to the character.
believe people looks
People ask me what I do in my spare time, and I look at them blankly, truly believing that I don't even have spare time, and if I did, I'd probably use it for something mundane, like chipping away at the mound of laundry rising to dangerous proportions in the back room.
heart sacrifice fighting
Happy endings were never handed out. You had to fight for them, earn them with bruised hearts and sacrifices.
