thinking limits speed
I do all of my good thinking at over 65 miles per hour. The speed limit is, luckily, the same speed as my brainstorming speed.
giving-up writing thinking
I don't think I could ever give up music. It's what makes me tick. If there was no music, there would be no writing.
busting-out mind stories
I feel like I have so many stories basting in my mind, and they come busting out when they're ready.
book ideas work-out
I picture my books as movies when I get stuck, and when I'm working on a new idea, the first thing I do is hit theaters to work out pacing and mood.
saws needed knows
That was pretty much all you needed to know about Cole, right there. He saw something he didn't quite understand, liked it, and took it to be his.
thinking gestures way

introvert should
I am an introvert. I should get that out there now.
party missing conversation
A novel is a conversation starter, and if the author isn't there for the after-party, both the writer and the reader are missing a lot.
romance conversation said
That," he said, "is so not the point of this conversation.
mean race shining
No, you have to talk first. You wanted to talk. It means you say something and I respond and you talk back again. It's one of the human race's most shining achievements. It's called a conversation.
blood rivers born
When you were born, the rivers dried up and the cattle in Rockingham County wept blood.
