two way loses
There are two sure ways to lose a friend, one is to borrow, the other is to lend.
inspiration mad way
The way I cook it's more like mad science. There's a lot of inspiration and dramatic failure with the occasional gorgeous success.
eye brain way
The second was some rather bad poetry, but it was short, and I forced my way through by gritting my teeth and occasionally closing one eye so as not to damage the entirety of my brain.
boys way tomorrow
Just pity him, my boy. Tomorrow we'll be on our way, but he'll have to keep his own disagreeable company until the day he dies.
way easy said
You never do things the easy way, do you?" she said. "There's an easy way?" I asked.
thinking way stories
The framed tale is, in my opinion, one of the most natural ways to tell a story. If you think of it, the conceit of the frame-less story is actually the odd way of doing things. Without the frame, how do you know the context for a story?
liars way stories
You have to be a bit of a liar to tell a story the right way.
confusing understanding way
Using words to talk of words is like using a pencil to draw a picture of itself, on itself. Impossible. Confusing. Frustrating ... but there are other ways to understanding.
stories way remember
If I seem to wander, if I seem to stray, remember that true stories seldom take the straightest way
boring dragons people suddenly throw time uses whatever work
The problem with dragons is that everyone uses them. All the time. When that happens, they become commonplace. A lot of people think you can just throw them into a story and suddenly whatever you're writing is 28% cooler. But that doesn't work. All that does is make dragons into some boring cliche.
ask authors few fun interviews last list questions since start
I've done a lot of interviews of the last few years, and I've actually started a list of questions that it would be fun to ask an author, but no respectable interviewer would ever ask. Since I'm not respectable, I'm going to start doing interviews with some authors I know, just for fun.
amount appeal becoming chance decided epic heavy mean people struggling time
I'm struggling with what is epic. People decided I was epic - if by epic, do you mean a big, heavy book? 'David Copperfield' is a big book - is it epic? Amount of time covered, length, drama, or story - that's the real appeal - if the story is long you have a better chance of becoming more connected.
coming until
One thing I've learned now is that I should not say when a book is coming out until I'm sure I know.
profoundly zero
It's profoundly disorienting to go from zero to celebrity.
