ugly lasts moments
It's always very pure, that last moment before an ugly, unsettling truth hits someone. The most stark of before-and-afters.
writing keys found
I've found in my own life that if my writing isn't going well, not much else will. It is the one constant, the key to everything else.
family divorce people
Family isn’t something that’s supposed to be static, or set. People marry in, divorce out. They’re born, they die. It’s always evolving, turning into something else.
nice mean writing
I just can't ever be a free spirit and just relax. When it comes to work, this is good. I'm very disciplined, which with writing is often half the battle, or more. But it also means that if I want to, say, play hooky and chocolate and watch Bravo all afternoon, I feel horribly guilty. I wish I could find a nice balance.

teenager firsts ifs
I always say that teenagers are the first to know if you're pandering to them.
writing thinking people
I think I'm way too much of a control freak to co-author anything with anyone. I have a hard enough time writing with myself! I admire people that can do it, but it's not for me.
long firsts said
It's gonna be okay," I said. It was the first time in a long time that I believed it. "It will.
editing each-day pages
Editing is hard but nowhere NEAR as tough as facing that blank page and blinking cursor each day. You're all alone and no one else can do it. At least with editing you have someone in the trench with you.
regret mistake would-be
I can say I made a lot of mistakes, but I don't regret things. Because at least I didn't spend a life standing outside, wondering what living would be like.
grief grieving sorrow
Grieving doesn't make you imperfect. It makes you human.
