I was an adult once.
It was terrible, so I quit.
Currently watching a reality TV show, and the dad said something like, “She’s 21 years old and she still doesn’t have her direction.” With a heavy implication that she should also find a husband. And he was dead serious—and dead disappointed.
I am here to tell you: eff that noise. You’re 21? GREAT. GO DO EXCITING SHIT. There’s time for everything else...

In the past, I’ve done some fundraising for Shelterbox when disaster has struck. Shelterbox is going to Oklahoma to aid the people who lost their homes, so I am fundraising again, and asking for your help.

If I was a famous author I would publish a book with ten different endings which all went to print with varying degrees of rarity, but not tell the fans about it so that I could watch their confusion as they disagree over how the story ended. Then when they figured it out I would ‘come clean’, telling them that I had released eleven alternate...

I used to hang out with people at school who didn’t make me feel good. After we hung out I had a pit in my stomach and doubted myself. I have different friends now, who make me happy, who make me feel great. My life is better now that I spend my time with positive people.
This made me realize…

THE GIRLY GATSBY
The next time someone asks me why @MaureenJohnson did the #coverflip thing, I’m going to cram a copy of THE GREAT GATSBY down their nose and remind them that if Gatsby and Daisy had been gender-flipped and Gatsby had been a girl doing anything it took to get such a shallow guy, she would have been called both desperate and a slut, and then the book would have been mocked and probably never...

ohmistermagazine asked: Thank you for sharing those writing links yesterday! That brainstorming method you describe is pretty much what I have needed lately to help figure out what I want to include in something I want to work on. And, I like knowing I'm not the only person who writes without an outline!
theworldaccordingtomandy asked: i just finished rereading shades of earth and noticed that there was a question in the first book that was never answered...why did Godspeed launch a year later than intended? or did you answer it in one of the books and i missed it?

Anonymous asked: Hey, I just wanted to drop you an anime recommendation. I saw a post saying that you enjoy killing off characters which is great (that sounds odd...), because that keeps me anticipating what will happen next so I enjoy it. "Attack on Titan" is the sort of show where you really don't know what will happen next and which characters will die. Have a good day! I can't wait for your...

True story: when you guys are cute, I screenshot it and keep it in a file to look at for when I’m sad.
Us: *watching Ever After*
Ever After: *The scene when the creeper guy takes Danielle/Cinderella because the step mom is a cow and sold her to him.*
The Husband: Well, this is a terrible love story.

Me: *watching Ever After*
The Husband (who likes zombies and violent movies): This is based on Cinderella?
Me: Yeah.
The Husband: Where's the fairy godmothers?
Me: That's kinda what Leonardo Da Vinci is.
The Husband: That slipper's not made of glass.
The Husband: Why aren't there mice helping to sew her dress?
The Husband: Where's the pumpkin carriage?
Me: Shh.
The Husband: The story's falling apart, that's all I'm saying.
