character writing comedy
I was supposed to write a romantic comedy, but my characters broke up.
fall trying may
Try, reach, want, and you may fall. But even if you do, you might be okay anyway. If you don't try, you save nothing, because you might as well be dead.
beautiful people beautiful-people
Particularly beautiful people were like particularly funny-looking people, though. Once you know them you mostly forgot about it.
years progress three
She used to cry roughly three times a year. Now she seemed to cry three times before breakfast. Could that be considered progress?
inspirational attitude problem
Your problem isn't the problem, it's your attitude about the problem.
thinking hey gaps
She thought she would know when it happened. But now, as she looked around, she wondered if it was really like that at all. Maybe it happened in a million different ways, when you were thinking of it and you weren't. Maybe there was no gap, no jump, no chasm. You didn't forget yourself all at once. Maybe you just looked around one time or another and you thought, Hey. And there you were.
beautiful mourning joy
Ruins stood for what was lost, and yet there were beautiful-peaceful, historic, intellectual. Not tragic or regrettable. Lena tried to keep hers that way too, and she succeeded to some extent. Why not celebrate what you had rather than spend your time mourning its passing? There could be joy in things that ended.
mean mad his-love
Looking back, it was the thing in his life that shamed him the most: the times he was purposefully, calculatingly mean to Alice. It was those moments, and there had been many of them, that indicated to him that he was not a good person. He got mad at her for many things, but it was always really for the same thing: that she possessed his love and he couldn't seem to get it back. She didn't deserve it, which was to say she deserved better
frustration imagination feelings
She glared at him, feeling the old frustration. Sometimes in his presence she felt the deepest connection to him, and other times she felt completely alone-as though any bond to him was her own bitter imagination.
fun tired grumpy
Don't talk to me. I'm tired and grumpy and I'll probably make fun of you.
funny humor two
There are two kinds of people in this world. The kind who divide the world into two kinds of people and those who don't.
soup scared made
Tibby cried into her soup when it finally came. "I'm scared... ," she told it. The carrots and peas made no reply, but she felt better for having told them.
brave
Wear them, they will make you brave.
said shaking
Tibby was shaking her head. "What?" Bailey asked. "Nothing. Just that you suprise me every day," Tibby said. Bailey smiled at her. "I like that you let yourself be suprised.
