life love validation village
I love the village in my computer. There's little validation in the day-to-day life of a writer; sometimes we ache for a connection.
bound captured clock compelling dark love mystery plotting stellar ticking turning
I love a big, character-rich story with a dark heart, with a compelling mystery or some kind of ticking clock at its center. I want to be lured in by prose, captured by character, and bound by stellar plotting to keep turning the pages.
gut love powerful suspense swept teenager twisted wrenching
I read 'Rebecca' when I was a teenager and was swept away by the powerful voice, the gut wrenching suspense and the dark, twisted love story at its center.
dream feelings looking-for-love
We may say we're looking for love, following dreams, chasing the dollar, but aren't we just looking for a place where we belong? A place where our thoughts, feelings, and fears are understood? - Ridley Jones
love-you heart punishment
When you love someone, it doesn't really matter if they love you back or not. Having love in your heart for someone is its own reward. or punishment, depending on the circumstances.
love fall heart
When you start to really know someone, all his physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in his energy, recognize the scent of his skin. You see only the essence of the person,not the shell. That's why you can't fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and body but not your heart. And that's why, when you really connect with a person's inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.

I write for the same reason I read: to find out what's going to happen.
confident ebb exist flow knowledge needs open organic protecting vigilant village writer
Of course, like all organic processes, there is an ebb and a flow to writing. One does not exist without the other. The writer needs to be vigilant in protecting both, confident in the knowledge that the village will be there when we choose, finally, to open the door.
business publishing relationships
Publishing is a business of relationships. The relationships you make at one house can carry over to another.
time
I don't remember a time when I didn't define myself as a writer.
Everything is autobiographical, and nothing is autobiographical. That's fiction.
instant
I'm a 'bound book' kind of girl. I have a Kindle, and I enjoy it for some things, like convenience or instant gratification, or all the little things that you can do with them.
