jobs wheels wheel-of-time
My job is not to save 'The Wheel of Time', to fix 'The Wheel of Time', or anything like that. My job is not to screw it up.
believe men people
...Regardless, I still do not believe that your duty is to do as the people wish. Your duty is to lead as best you can, following the dictates of your conscience. You must be true. Your Majesty, to the man you wish to become....
character numbers stories
The number 1 thing that I don't want to see in a story is when characters exist simply to be proven wrong.
gun bananas farms
It's like a banana farm for guns!
long hours long-hours
I love to do what I do. So, I do work long hours.
Words are where most change begins.
believe want
To believe, it seemed, one had to want to believe.
believe simple men
Why did they believe? Because they saw miracles. Things one man took as chance, a man of faith took as a sign. A loved one recovering from disease, a fortunate business deal, a chance meeting with a long lost friend. It wasn't the grand doctrines or the sweeping ideals that seemed to make believers out of men. It was the simple magic in the world around them.

morning book fall
By now, it is probably very late at night, and you have stayed up to read this book when you should have gone to sleep. If this is the case, then I commend you for falling into my trap. It is a writer's greatest pleasure to hear that someone was kept up until the unholy hours of the morning reading one of his books. It goes back to authors being terrible people who delight in the suffering of others. Plus, we get a kickback from the caffeine industry...
boyfriend fun husband
Mocking a woman is like drinking too much wine. It may be fun for a short time, but the hangover is hell.
thinking giving stories
The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.
