From reader to writer
Hi everyone, I'm KD! So, I wanted to tell you all a little about my journey from reader to writer. I started reading in elementary school.

What's more important: a soul or consciousness?
I thought about it for a long time.High consciousness is able to create worlds and perfect matters. But consciousness of man puts him down and limits all his will.
A soul is a spark of a pristine world in man's body. It's able to alive a mortal matter and to inspire it to create.

A Conversation Worth Having
Every single day people attempt or avoid tough conversations.They think to themselves…
“It’s scary.”
“It’s complicated.”
“It makes me uncomfortable.”
“I’m nervous I’ll say the wrong thing.”
“I don’t want to misspeak and create more damage.”
“It’s messy and I don’t need messy right now.”

One of the most challenging part of writing a story is to come up with character names. In the past, I've used names that have personal meaning to me or just "sound cool."

Death walked into a bar. She found an empty stool, leaned her Scythe up against the polished wood counter, and ordered a gin and tonic from the bored-looking bartender. She flung the black hood off her head and looked around as she waited for her drink.

Interview with Tana French
Dublin crime novelist Tana French has the kind of critical reviews that other writers would…well, die for. Her debut murder mystery,
In the Woods
, won rave reviews and multiple literary prizes upon its release in 2007. Since then, her books have tended to haunt the bestseller lists, on both sides of the pond, and for months at a time. British newspaper The Independent has dubbed French "The First Lady of Irish Crime," and The Washington Post says she is the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past ten years. ...more
