awesome best books helping people
Overall, I'd say I was an awesome bookseller, but probably not the best book shelver. I loved recommending books and helping people find books.
brothers creatures disney fairy fey love preferred stories tales tricky
I love the stories of changelings and the thought that the Fey were these ancient, capricious creatures who were tricky and dangerous. I've always preferred the Brothers Grimm faery tales to the Disney fairy tales.
characters high outline points rest stubborn surprise wonder
I usually start with an ending, then outline high points of things that happen, and kind of make up the rest as I go along. Occasionally, the characters surprise me, and I wonder how we got here. Other times, the characters are stubborn and won't do something I want them to in the story.
music places work writers
Some writers like to work in other places like coffee shops, but I can't - I'd end up people-watching. And if I were at a bookstore, I'd be reading. Sometimes I have some music on, but usually I like it quiet.
authors exactly published stopped
Just keep writing, and try to finish that novel. Remember, all authors started exactly where you are right now; the only difference between a published author and a non-published one is that the published author never stopped writing.
bad brooding certain close favourite love runs talking
My favourite character would have to be 'Ash,' because I love my brooding bad boys. But a certain snarky talking cat runs a very close second.
characters familiar means themes
I like to put my characters through a lot, so, in 'Talon,' my fans will find familiar themes of bravery and sacrifice, and what it means to be human... even if you're not human.
best-love heart my-heart
You are my heart, my life, my entire existence.
nice training warning
A little warning would’ve been nice. You couldn’t have said, ‘Hey, as part of your training today, I’m going to beat you senseless’?
up-to-you monsters kind
You will always be a monster - there is no turning back from it. But what kind of monster you become is entirely up to you.
technology cities imagination
As cities grow and technology takes over the world, belief and imagination fade away, and so do we.
moving lost just-move-on
You don't dwell on what you've lost, you just move on.
needs forget grudge
How easy it is to forget grudges when someone has something you need.
letting-go two-best-friends long
Jealousy isn't something we deal with well, but some of us have been around long enough to know when to let go, and what is most important. The happiness of my two best friends should be more important than some ancient feud.
