writing littles ocd
I can be a little OCD when it comes to my writing.
waiting choices sitting
Sitting around and waiting for your muse is not the best choice.

I think the best fiction blurs the boundaries between genres, stretches and breaks them.
falling-in-love love-you kate
Of course you can fall in love. You just have to let yourself. They don't call it falling for nothing. -Kate
