reading swimming sharks
I always read. You know how sharks have to keep swimming or they die? I’m like that. If I stop reading, I die.
liars way stories
You have to be a bit of a liar to tell a story the right way.
relationship book female
Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.
book giving community
Here's the thing: Authors live or die by recommendations. [That's one of the reason I review so many books on Goodreads.] Giving books you love good reviews is one of the nicest things you can do for an author. What's more it's good for the entire community.
We all become what we pretend to be.
confusing understanding way
Using words to talk of words is like using a pencil to draw a picture of itself, on itself. Impossible. Confusing. Frustrating ... but there are other ways to understanding.
regret forever bones
Bones mend. Regret stays with you forever.
book good-book share
We need to read good books, and for that to happen, we need to share good books.
blood secret flow
That is how heavy a secret can become. It can make blood flow easier than ink.
witty clever writing
Now it's virtually impossible to write a game that successfully provides challenge and frustration, and that's a shame. We are going to lose something that makes scientists, that makes doers, that makes hard-minded, witty, clever people, and I worry that those people aren't being made these days.
eye cutting our-world
I don't try to take a person out of our world and put them into my world; that wouldn't work. It's sort of like bad Photoshop: If you see something Photoshopped together - and even if it's done pretty well - the eye catches on it. That happens a lot when people try to cut and paste people from our world into their fourteenth-century historical romance novel.
thinking answers fantasy-stories
It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think.
world needs villain
The world is a mess and I just need to rule it.
music play different
Music sounds different to the one who plays it. It is the musician's curse.
