stories
All stories are true.
believe world ifs
If you are going to impose your will on the world, you must have control over what you believe.
stories world
All the truth in the world is held in stories.
blood hands secret
Hours later the blank sheet still stared at me, and I beat my fist against the desk in fury and fustration, striking it so hard my hand bled. That is how heavy a secret can become. It can make blood flow easier than ink.
lying reading emotional
Reading is professionally important for me to keep tuned in to what's being written in my genre, let's not lie. But that's not the reason I read. I read for my own emotional and mental health. If I stopped reading, I'd probably just die.
clever cat thinking
I have an apple that thinks its a pear. And a bun that thinks it’s a cat. And a lettuce that thinks its a lettuce." "It’s a clever lettuce, then." "Hardly," she said with a delicate snort. "Why would anything clever think it’s a lettuce?" "Even if it is a lettuce?" I asked. "Especially then," she said. "Bad enough to be a lettuce. How awful to think you are a lettuce too.

I leafed through the ledger until I spotted Elodin's name, then ran my finger back to where the title of the class was listed in fresh dark ink: "Introduction to Not Being a Stupid Jackass." I sighed and penned my name in the single blank space beneath.
flower cutting men
It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die.
thinking research want
I think the best part of being an author is that I get to learn about anything I want and explain it away as research.
half world lord
Good lord woman. If i had tits like yours I'd own half the world by now.
