mets
I never met a word I didn't love
dragons monsters would-be
I put my fingers around the unmarked ring of the spyglass and twisted. The scene became clear. Oh no! A hairy brown spider clung to a vine! I couldn't go there! I'd go to the desert to find a dragon. I began to reset the spyglass, but then I stopped myself. A spider was worse than a dragon? No. My first monsters would be spiders, then.
squirrels together needs
Although we didn't invite Lucinda, she arrived anyway-with a gift. "No need," Char and I chimed together. "Remember when you were a squirrel," Mandy said.
stunned
He -it- was a specter! I stepped back, stunned.
maybe-tomorrow rainbow might
She asks why I like her. Might as well ask Why I breathe. Maybe tomorrow I won't Breathe or like her Anymore. Maybe tomorrow the tides Will stop. Maybe tomorrow will bring No more rainbows. Maybe tomorrow She will stop Asking useless questions.
kissing
Kisses were better than potions.
paragraph
To me, merely and pretty were words that had nothing to do with each other. Pretty went with miraculously, and merely belonged in another paragraph entirely.
hardest watch
Contemporary fiction is the hardest for me because I am not really in the popular culture - I don't watch TV.
painter
I didn't want to be a writer. First I wanted to act, and then I wanted to be a painter like my big sister.
mind tales
I loved fairy tales as a kid, so that's where my mind gravitates.
excited
I was excited to make my own 'Neverland.'
drew happier hardest
I found that I was much more interested in writing and that I didn't like the illustrating at all. I had always been the hardest on myself when I drew and painted. I am not hard on myself when I write. I like what I write, so it is a much happier process.
