Physics makes Belinda’s brain hurt, while quadratics cause her eyes to cross and any mention of probability equations will have her running for the door. Nonetheless, she loves watching documentaries about the natural world, biology, space, history and technology.

She’s also a sucker for a fast horse, a faster computer and superhero movies. When she’s not doing the horse, computer or superhero thing, Belinda writes science fiction (emphasis on the fiction), where she loves to write about butt-kicking girls (and guys) who blow stuff up.

For me, writer's block is just a symptom of something else. Like right now, I'm writing the middle chapter of Hero 3 and it's like pulling teeth and every word is an effort to get on the page. Some might call that writer's block, I call it a sign that something in this chapter (or a chapter previous to it) isn't working. All I have to do is figure out what that something is and my case of writer's block is gone.

How you go about finding that something though, that's another question.

If you let yourself think of writer's block as a mysterious thing that comes along without reason, you can't do anything about it. On the other hand, see it as a symptom and there's always a cure.(less)

What I’m reading this January

Depressingly, it is already the middle of January and I have not done half the things I told myself I was going to… except for conquering December’s to read pile

In January, my reading pile continues the works in translation kick.

All these books have been sitting on my shelf for… awhile, even the one you can’t see because it’s an ebook.*

Once again, I have promised myself that I can’t buy any new

Quotes by Belinda Crawford  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Just because they say it, doesn't mean you have to believe it.”
Belinda Crawford, Hero

“Why do I feel like this is a ploy?"
"You're paranoid?"
"Or," she said as she walked back around her desk and sat, "maybe I just know my daughter too well.”
Belinda Crawford, Hero

“All my life, everyone has used my 'ilness' as an excuse to take my choices away. I've been locked up, told what to eat, who I can be friends with, where I can go to school. They even forced those damn meds down my throat." She paused, breathing hard. "It's my life. Even if I'm sick, I'm the only one who should get to choose what I do and how I do it.”
Belinda Crawford, Hero

“They'd all been crackpots back then, those first-gen colonists, but Woolsey had topped them all. No one else would have thought to mix a little bit of rat with a little bit of leopard and a whole lot of alien to create something big and strong and scary enough to walk the surface with impunity.”
