hate passion opposites
Love and hate, despite their polar opposites, are both feelings that are induced by passion. I can handle that. It's the indifference I don't know how to process.
running fighting trying
Every day of my life it feels as if I'm fighting my way up an escalator that only goes down. And no matter how fast or how hard I run to try to reach the top, I stay in the same place, sprinting, getting nowhere.
way turns
I’m the only one that can be held accountable for the way my life turns out.
world sometimes
Sometimes not speaking says more than all the words in the world.
lying weight towns
The weight of lies will bring you down, follow you to every town 'cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there.
real ugly life-is
Not everyone gets a happily every after. Life is real and sometimes it's ugly and you just have to learn how to cope.
real book land
My lack of access to the real world has been replaced completely by books, and it can’t be healthy to live in a land of happily ever afters.
care way selflessness
Selflessness. It should be the basis of every relationship. If a person truly cares about you, they'll get more pleasure from the way they make you feel, rather than the way you make them feel.
running lying towns
It's not just lies they're referring to. It's life. You can't run to another town, another place, another state. Whatever it is you're running from-it goes with you. It stays with you until you find out how to confront it.
book bucks bigs
Every single person that spent a few bucks to buy a book that I wrote deserves a big thank you from my whole family.
excited inclusion majority music readers
I'm very passionate about music and was excited to see that the majority of readers loved the inclusion of lyrics.
entertain far inform readers simply type writes
As far as what readers can expect with 'Maybe Someday,' I'm not the type of writer who writes to educate or inform my readers. I simply write to entertain them.
favorite included lyrics positive published readers response surprised
When I published my first novel, 'Slammed,' I included lyrics at the beginning of each chapter from one of my favorite bands, The Avett Brothers. The overwhelmingly positive response from readers to those lyrics really surprised me.
sentence wrote
When I sat down and wrote the first paragraph, I was like, 'Oh, I can go with this.' I didn't do an outline. I didn't do anything. I just wrote sentence by sentence, not knowing where the story was going.
