eye mind trying
I squeeze my eyes shut and try to reach for him across the hundreds and hundreds of miles, to send my thoughts into his mind, to let him know he is not alone. But he is. And I can't help him.
people silence mind
We sit in silence awhile then I blurt out the thing that's on both our minds. "How are we going to kill these people, Peeta?
president-snow mind flags
In my mind, President Snow should be viewed in front of marble pillars hung with oversized flags. It's jarring to see him surrounded by the ordinary objects in the room. Like taking the lid off a pot and finding a fanged viper instead of stew.
thinking katniss mind
I wonder how she'll make up her mind." "Oh, that I do know." I can just catch Gale's last words through the layer of fur. "Katniss will pick whoever she thinks she can't survive without.
years people mind
She genuinely likes people. All people, not just a select few she's spent years making up her mind about.
glasses alcohol mind

brings draw grows incredible later lived lottery name people pretend
I loved 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.' I read it later as an adult, but I loved 'We Have Always Lived in a Castle.' And that brings you around to 'The Lottery.' You can't pretend - it's a lottery in which you draw a name and people die. That's a short story, but it's such an incredible short story.
rooms
I have a pretty big TV background, and I have clocked so many hours in so many writers' rooms over the years.
enhance finished individual opportunity pieces turned
I've just had the opportunity to see the finished film of 'The Hunger Games.' I'm really happy with how it turned out. I feel like the book and the film are individual yet complementary pieces that enhance one another.
catch cups flies wrote
I try to catch flies in cups and put them outside. After I wrote 'The Underland Chronicles'... well, once you start naming cockroaches, you lose your edge.
