fun people secret
It's not fun to keep secrets, but sometimes you have to do it to protect yourself. And to protect people around you. - Meredith, p112
girl fun liars
I really like the spooky twists and the intense mystery. I think the various plot devices work really well for TV, but they are still also in the spirit of Pretty Little Liars as a whole. I also really liked Spencer's breakdown in the previous season after Toby betrayed her. The girls have had breakdowns of sorts in the books, so it was fun to see that on-screen.
fun writing editors
I do a lot of brainstorming with my editors. Sometimes it just comes out in the writing. I'll get an idea as I'm writing the chapter. I try to go for maximum surprises in PLL, stuff you don't see coming. It's a lot of fun!
hurt sorry fun
I suppose I could let bygones be bygones, forgive and forget, yadda yadda. But where's the fun in that? These pretty little bitches got everything I ever wanted, and now I'm going to make sure they get exactly what they deserve. Does that make me sound awful? Sorry, but as every pretty little liar knows, sometimes the truth's ugly-and it always hurts. I'll be watching.... Mwah! -A
song fun pain
But Mike was like a Bjork song-all happy and giddy and fun on the surface, but bubbling with turmoil and pain underneath.
fun thinking past
Its more fun to think of the future than dwell on the past.
revising type
I do a lot of revising on paper. Sometimes I think I should just write longhand - what I type reads very different once I print it out.
emotions male stories understood written
I've written short stories from male perspectives before, and I've never had a problem with it as long as I've understood the character's emotions and motivations.
bedroom best
I probably write best in my office, which is an extra bedroom in my house.
good primarily wonderful
I primarily read fiction, and I read a good many wonderful books while writing 'The Visibles.'
almost bands bit current dialogue mention putting starting stay technology trends tv writers
I've read a lot of fiction from writers just starting out, and the dialogue is a little bit forced, or it's almost too teenager-y, or too slang-y or putting too much technology or trends in there. I try to stay pretty trend-neutral. I try not to mention too many current bands or current TV shows.
city family good time travels york
My family often travels to New York City during the holidays, and that's always a good time.
broke sort written
Judy Blume especially sort of broke the boundaries of what is appropriate and what should be written about - what teenagers are actually doing.
I was just over high school, and I was kind of artsy.
