writing novel needed
If I could sum it up in 50 words, I wouldn't have needed to write a whole novel about it.
Coming to grips with being a bit of a celebrity. That's not anything I ever expected to have to deal with in my life.
mad done paper
This is the nature of love." Vashet said. "To attempt to describe it will drive a woman mad. This is what keeps poets scribbling endlessly away. If one could pin it to paper all complete, the others would lay down their pens. But it cannot be done.
flower long shows
I've waited a long time to show these flowers how pretty you are.

stories way remember
If I seem to wander, if I seem to stray, remember that true stories seldom take the straightest way
honesty liars mean
All stories are true,” Skarpi said. “But this one really happened, if that’s what you mean.” He took another slow drink, then smiled again, his bright eyes dancing. “More or less. You have to be a bit of a liar to tell a story the right way. Too much truth confuses the facts. Too much honesty makes you sound insincere.
