boys thinking stories
In my group of friends, I was always the one who remembered everything. The stories, the boys my friends and I dated, all the details. So I think a part of me was always filing them away, although at the time I wasn't sure why.
way saying-no looks
but you could also look at it the other way. Like you’re saying no matter how bad things are for you, I can still relate.
fall drinking blue
Let me guess,” Eli said, his voice that low, even timbre, as always. “Drinking from kegs also falls under outdoor activity.” I just looked at him, standing there in jeans and the same blue hoodie he’d had on the first time I met him. Maybe it was the embarrassment, which had been bad enough before I had an audience, but I was instantly annoyed. I said, “Are we outside?” He glanced round, as if needing to confirm this. “Nope.” “Then no.” I turned my attention back to the keg.
Because maybe, the best of times were yet to come. You never knew.
writing next knows
I never really know what I'm going to write next until it comes to me. So we'll just have to see what happens.
running mean different
I mean, to me, freaking out is different. More of a running away, not telling anyone what's wrong, slowly simmering until you burst kind of thing.
blow mind nodding
Now, see," Wes said, nodding at my plate, "this is going to blow your mind." I looked at him. "It's a waffle, not the second coming.
growing-up lying mean
Growing up means :propelling yourself forward into whatever lies ahead, one turn of the wheel at a time.
girl moving book
Once I'm done with a book, I'm done! I'm just not a sequel kind of girl. By the time I've finished a book I've read it so many times that it's time to move on.
cousin uncles sibling
I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be one of so many, to have not just parents and siblings but cousins and aunts and uncles, an entire tribe to claim as your own. Maybe you would feel lost in the crowd. Or sheltered by it. Whatever the case, one things was for sure: like it or not, you'd never be alone.
past chance this-life
But you only get so many do-overs in this life, so many chances to, if not change your past, alter your future.
want happened
I didn't want to talk about what happened, so it seemed safest not to talk at all.
book character thinking
I think my biggest problem, though, at least in drafts, is not repeating myself. After eight books I get worried that a character or piece of dialog might be too much like something I've already done. So it's a challenge to keep it fresh.
differences events made
Events conspired to bring you back to where you'd been. It was what you did then that made all the difference: it was all about potential.
