thinking earth who-we-are
I think one of the reasons to be here on earth is to finally be who we are, at all times - to know and be predictable to ourselves.
money thinking helping
Money helps, though not so much as you think when you don't have it.
love confused thinking
I think she is confused by the way I want her, which is like nobody else. I know this deep down. I want her in a new way, a way she's never been told about.
thinking doors stalking
I truly think that you can't go and stalk your material, you have to leave the door open and whatever chooses you, chooses you. You can't go and wrestle it to the ground.
thinking wish facts
Here is the most telling fact: you wish to possess me. Here is another fact: I loved you and let you think you could.
thinking hands illness
I am part of what she thinks is her illness, a symptom of which she thinks she has been cured. She, on the other hand, is what I was looking for.
book thinking people
There are people who are always, I think, going to remain people of the book, to use another author's title, but people of the book, who really must be around.

I stood there in the shadowed doorway thinking with my tears. Yes, tears can be thoughts, why not?

cuisine evolving people talking whatever whose
You're talking about evolving a cuisine from a people whose cuisine has been whatever we could get for a long time.

sometimes monstrosity persons
Sometimes a person's monstrosity seems superhuman.
girl hair panty-hose
Being a girl didn't really affect me until I entered junior high and had to wear skirts, curl my hair, and even get used to panty hose. However, my hatred of panty hose helped make me a writer who only wears comfortable clothes. I've successfully avoided panty hose for most of my life.
names drawing design
I make very involved drawings, even little structures, and try using design to figure out the rhythm of a plot. If there are several narrators then a clue has to pop up in the first line. There have to be certain grammatical clues, or distinctive names.
