writing doors two
Above all, a query letter is a sales pitch and it is the single most important page an unpublished writer will ever write. It's the first impression and will either open the door or close it. It's that important, so don't mess it up. Mine took 17 drafts and two weeks to write.
regret mistake simple
He felt as though he were failing in practically every area of his life. Lately, happiness seemed as distant and unattainable to him as space travel. He hadn't always felt this way. There had been a long period of time during which he remembered being very happy. But things change. People change. Change was one of the inevitable laws of nature, exacting its toll on people's lives. Mistakes are made, regrets form, and all that was left were repercussions that made something as simple as rising from the bed seem almost laborious.
war people civil-war
Like many people who live in the South, I'm drawn to the history of the Civil War.
girl looks done
She was, in other words, the kind of girl who made the rest of us look bad, and whenever she glanced my way, I couldn't help but feel guilty, even though I hadn't done anything wrong.
writing want what-you-want
write what readers want to read, which isn’t necessarily what you want to write.
love change people
I don't know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change.
creating numbers phones
I don't want to be on the phone talking numbers and budget. I want to be creating a world.
growing-up thinking guy
There are guys who grow up thinking they'll settle down some distant time in the future, and there are guys who are ready for marriage as soon as they meet the right person. The former bore me, mainly because they're pathetic; and the latter, frankly are hard to find.
messages sometimes lord
I know the Lord has a plan for us all, but sometimes, I just don't understand what the message can be.
light window
I'll be the light in the window.
different stories film
Novels are very different than films and I love to see someone else's imagining of my story.
moon sky world
No matter where it is in the sky... No matter where you are in the world... the moon is never bigger than your thumb. -John
choices would-be way
Life was messy. Always had been and always would be and that was just the way it was, so why bother complaining? You either did something about it or you didn’t, and then you lived with the choice you made.
seeing
Traveling has less to do with seeing things than experiencing them...
