writing two my-boyfriend
My boyfriend suggested I write two pages a day. He wouldn't take me out if I hadn't done my two pages. That's how I wrote my second novel.
writing years people
All of a sudden it felt like people were peering over my shoulder, wondering what I would write next. I was blocked for four years.
real character writing
I never base a character on someone I know. You can get ideas from real life, but every character you write is some aspect of yourself.
writing thinking outsiders
I think that The Outsiders was meant to be written, and I was just picked to write it.
writing thinking two
If you want to be a writer, I have two pieces of advice. One is to be a reader. I think that's one of the most important parts of learning to write. The other piece of advice is 'Just do it!' Don't think about it, don't agonize, sit down and write.
writing thinking narrators
I go straight from thinking about my narrator to being him.
writing ideas imagination
I have no idea why I write. The old standards are: I like to express my feelings, stretch my imagination, earn money.
writing want advise
I advise writing to oneself. If you don't want to read it, nobody else is going to read it.

We're always coming away from shows and learning something new, and we always listen and learn.

We doubled our attendance yesterday from Christmas Day. I think people are still arriving and that it is going to keep getting busier.
certain close conform expected figure girls grew horseback jeans liked playing supposed time
I grew up with my cousins, who were as close as brothers, and frankly, I didn't like what girls were expected to do. I liked horseback riding, playing football, going to rodeos. I wanted to be in jeans all the time, and I couldn't figure out why I was supposed to conform to a certain standard, so I didn't.
catch couple good guys holding hoping job knee last passed thrown
I was hoping we wouldn't have to catch him, but his knee is holding up fine. He's always done a good job back there. He's had a couple of passed balls, but that's from not being back there the last two years. He's thrown some guys out on the bases.
