hair promise black
I stared at her black hair. It was shiny like the promises in magazines.
rocks stones cold
but, he also said it because part of him wanted more of her, this cold woman who was not exactly cold, this rock who was not stone.
listening input shy
I have never been shy about listening to the input of others and weighing it seriously.
class curious science-class
I was like I was in science class: I was curious.
imagination creative process
Part of the creative process for me is an invitation for readers to follow their imagination.
comforting portraits remember
In this deeply nuanced portrait of an American family, Bret Anthony Johnston fearlessly explores the truth behind a mythic happy ending. In Remember Me Like This, Johnston presents an incisive dismantling of an all-too-comforting fallacy: that in being found we are no longer lost.
eye happy-love want
I had always been in love with him. I counted the lashes of each closed eye. He had been my almost, my might have been, and I did not want to leave him
character narrative sound
It's hard, because when you talk about process or your characters ruling your narrative, it sounds like you have no control, but obviously you're ultimately the author, so you do have control.

I wish you all a long and happy life
growing-up thinking evil
For me, heaven would be a lack of alienation. The whole time I was growing up, I felt comfort was inherently evil. I think that, for me, heaven isnt about couches and milk shakes and never having a troubling thought again.
missing-someone forever missing
I missed her then but it was an odd sort of missing because by then, I knew the meaning of forever.
yesterday life-is perpetual
Life is a perpetual yesterday for us.
desire enough ifs
All you have to do is desire it, and if you desire it enough and understand why -- really know -- it will come.
life bullshit heaven
There wasn't a lot of bullshit in my heaven.
