numbers littles sake
I am no poet. I do not love words for the sake of words. I love words for what they can accomplish. Similarly, I am no arithmetician. Numbers that speak only of numbers are of little interest to me.
lists really-cool
For me the really cool parts of being an author don't have anything to do with getting onto a bestseller list.
wonder
I was just wondering why you're here.
thieves heretic
Thieves, Heretics, and Whores
pieces stories knows
I only know one story. But oftentimes small pieces seem to be stories themselves.
pockets velvet red
I walked across the polished marble floor and sat on a red velvet lounging couch. I idly wondered how exactly one was supposed to lounge. I couldn't remember ever doing it myself.

tangled decision luck
My bad luck got tangled up with my bad decisions, and I'm paying for it.
