people firsts flip
All through first and second and third hour, Eleanor rubbed her palm. Nothing happened. How could it be possible that there were that many never ending all in one place? And were they always there, or did they just flip on wherever they felt like it? Because, if they were always there, how did she manage to turn doorknobs without fainting? Maybe this was why so many people said it felt better to drive a stick shift.

With fandom, people are sensitive, and sometimes defensive, about their experiences.

When 'Attachments' came out and people liked it, I'd have a warm feeling of having made a connection.
definitely hard time
I definitely had a hard time leaving for college because I'm not much of a risk-taker.
conversation intimate voices
Having a conversation on a landline is more intimate than talking to someone in person. Your voices are so clear and close - you're in each other's heads.
bad
Our cellphones can do everything, but they're bad at letting us talk to each other.
character female single written
In my mind, every single female character I've written is plus-size.
