ideas credit rolling
My idea of life, it's what happens when they're rolling the credits.
eye hands years
I don't know when they first had feeds. Like maybe, fifty or a hundred years ago. Before that, they had to use their hands and their eyes. Computers were all outside the body. They carried them around outside of them, in their hands, like if you carried your lungs in a briefcase and opened it to breathe.
heart broken shallow
Of course, I had my heart broken as a teen. I was desperately in love with myself. Then I found out that I was completely shallow. I haven't spoken to myself since.
teenage writing years
I write for teens partially to work out whatever it was that I needed to from my own teenage years.
country war mean
If we're going to ask our kids at age 18 to go off to war and die for their country, I don't see any problem with asking them at age 16 to think about what that might mean.
running expression names
There is a power in names. Olakunde told us of ashe-the power which runs through all things, subtle and flexible, which find its most potent expression in human utterance; so that it is a terrible thing to call down imprecations on an enemy, or to wish for anything but good, for what is said out loud is forged into truth.
writing bored people
Occasionally people ask me how it is I write different types of things, and my answer to that is it's very natural. You get bored writing one kind of thing all the time.
tattoo real reading
One of the series I like is D.M. Cornish's 'Monster Blood Tattoo,' in which he creates a whole language. Kids who are reading that are building a language in their heads. There's no real cognitive difference. I think kids are excited by language, and they're not always given credit for that.
library opening wrenches
A library is an adjustable wrench for opening the head.
mean years important
Certain elements of teen life that, 10 years ago, were very important to me still, are becoming less so as I get older. I mean, Ive kinda gotten over, I guess Im saying, the fact that I had trouble getting a date for the prom.
fiction-novels fantasy-novels science-fiction
I was someone who really loved fantasy novels and science fiction novels.
music-love bostonians used
I completely love music. I used to be the music critic at 'The Improper Bostonian.' It's just something I've always loved very deeply.
teenager book writing
Why not write a book which is as sophisticated as a book for an adult, but is about the concerns that teenagers actually have?
findings security
We all flee in hope of finding some ground of security
