writing creative feelings
I write my novels longhand. I love the feeling of writing; I love to see pen on paper. It feels more creative than typing, and it's a more visual process for me - I can picture the entire scene in my head and am merely writing what I see.
home issues stuff
We have a tendency to put ourselves last, we concentrate on everything else; work, friends, family, home issues, but we ignore the deeper stuff until it becomes so compressed that it can explode.
writing night space
I'm most happy when I am writing at night, because I need space and time to write.
writing mystery
I would love to write a mystery - a romantic, funny mystery.
writing people stories
I write human stories. I write about people. Not as a product of their environment. But from the stance that everybody is made of the same thing.
moving decision ease
More often than not, the easy decisions are the wrong decisions, and sometimes we feel like we're going backward when we're actually moving forward.
change hands needs
I just need to do something new.... I've got the big remote control of life in my hands, and I'm ready to start pushing some buttons.
dream inspiration believe
Why do we stop believing in ourselves? Why do we let facts and figures and anything but dreams rule our lives?
falling-in-love mind fleeing
Moments are precious, sometimes they linger and other times they're fleeing, and yet so much could be done in them; you could change a mind, you could save a life and you could even fall in love.
dad appreciate want
I lost my dad. He lost his tomorrows and I lost all the tomorrows with him. You could say that now, I appreciate them when they come. Now, I want to make them the best they can possibly be.
running ordinary tools
Day-to-day things, the mundane, are what keeps the motor running. How extraordinary the ordinary really is, a tool we all use to keep going, a template for sanity.
decision bad-decision unlucky
But with your life you make a few bad decisions, get unlucky a few times, whatever, but you have to keep going, right?
running hurt loneliness
.. then when the hurt goes, anger takes its place; when the anger runs out of system, loneliness steps in to take over. it's a never ending circle of emotions; every lost emotion being replaced by another.
dream jobs memories
It's not the job of this town to make me feel happy. It's not this town´s fault that I don't feel I fit in. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, because it's about where you are in your head. It's about the other world I inhabit. The world of dreams, hope, imagination, and memories. I'm happy up here, and because of that I'm happy up there too
