Heidi Julavits quotes about
half my-own
I like playing with a popular cliché and making it my own by half-embracing it, half-disemboweling it.
psychics desire our-society
The twisty nature of psychic attack - are you being attacked, or did you bring this attack on yourself? - speaks to me of an American cultural paradox we all grapple with. There's the rampant litigiousness of our society, and the desire to blame others for our misfortunes.
psychics demise energy
When you are expending much energy on someone else's demise, it's like you weaken your psychic immune system.
plot reviews complication
I don't usually read my reviews. I've noticed older reviewers are much more bothered by the plot complications. Younger reviews don't seem to be bothered by the complications at all.
somewhere-else want sometimes
As a writer, you want to go somewhere else sometimes. You want to vary the terrain that you're exploring.
