revising type
I do a lot of revising on paper. Sometimes I think I should just write longhand - what I type reads very different once I print it out.
married unforgivable
You hear about those stories where a person is married to someone and they have another family - that's pretty much unforgivable!
secret problem
Everybody has a secret and everybody has problems.
secret
Even if you're an adult you still have secrets and scandals following you.
nice writing people
It's nice to dig deeper into people who may look one way but always have a story to tell. I obviously write about that a lot.
leads
Sometimes I hear a voice - sometimes it's the voice of someone I know. And sometimes that leads to a character, which leads to a story.
took
I am a big outliner. For my adult book, 'The Visibles,' I did not outline, and it took me two years to write because I just didn't outline, and I had no path.
fake-friends fake-people sleep
Always sleep with one eye open. Never take anything for granted. Your best friends might just be your enemies.
liars lying believe
No one believes a liar. Even when she's telling the truth.
kind
There's really kind of nobody we can trust.
secret twisted
The best secrets are the most twisted
girl fun liars
I really like the spooky twists and the intense mystery. I think the various plot devices work really well for TV, but they are still also in the spirit of Pretty Little Liars as a whole. I also really liked Spencer's breakdown in the previous season after Toby betrayed her. The girls have had breakdowns of sorts in the books, so it was fun to see that on-screen.
summer perfect ears
Sometimes, a family is like an ear of summer corn: It might look perfect on the outside, but when you peel the husk away. every kernel is rotten.
princess thinking sea
She still felt like a punked-out, faux-leather-wearing, free-thinking Bratz doll in a sea of Pretty Princess of Preppyland Barbies.
