along elaborate escape fleet imaginary instead invented inventing routes scenarios searching secret spies swing top
Instead of inventing imaginary friends, I invented whole imaginary worlds. They were elaborate scenarios about spies and adventurers and top secret missions. I crawled along my swing set, searching for escape routes from my maximum-security prison; I biked through the neighborhood, the wind in my hair and a fleet of evildoers on my heels.
awakens impulses waking
'The Waking Dark' is about what happens when something awakens a town's darkest impulses and unleashes them on the world.
authors characters claims hear might voices whatever
I'm not one of those authors who claims to hear voices in my head or 'let the characters speak through me,' whatever that might mean.
ever-after charming delusion
I believed in happily ever after as much as anyone, because Jane Austen, Prince Charming, and Hugh Grant promised me it could happen. But maybe that particular delusion was universal.

Full Disclosure: I hate David with the passion of a thousand fiery suns all going to supernova at the same time
dream opposites taste

best-friend goodbye mistake
They had battled and bloodied one another, they had kept secrets, broken hearts, lied, betrayed, exiled, they had walked away, said goodbye and sworn it was forever, and somehow, every time, they had mended, they had forgiven, they had survived. Some mistakes could never be fixed - some, but not all. Some people can't be driven away, no matter how hard you try. Some friendships won't break.
reading adventure years
I spent most of my teen years trying to figure out the rules of life, theories for why things happened, why people behaved as they did, and mostly I came to the conclusion that either there were no rules, or the rules sucked. Reading science fiction wasn't about imagining myself into some more exciting life filled with adventure, it was about finding a world where things worked the way I wanted them to.
love-is arrows ignorant
I longed to return to that bloody riverbank, to throw myself in the path of the final arrow, to die ignorant, and so, in love. Better to be killed by an arrow than by the words of the one I most trusted.
memories imagination brain
Now I existed solely thanks to the quantum paradox, my brain a collection of qubits in quantum superposition, encoding truths and memories, imagination and irrationality in opposing, contradictory states that existed and didn't exist, all at the same time.

The only thing more dangerous than a willingness to ignore the Law is an ability to change it.
