I have trouble figuring out what to eat in the morning. This is a very difficult question, indeed. Currently one comes to mind. There's a girl in my environmental geology class (I hate upper division GE courses). She's beautiful. Not like a model, but she has a sweet face and kind eyes that interest me. She's silent and always keeps to herself. I haven't even heard her talk. She's also ridiculously smart. For both of the midterms we'd taken thus far in the semester, she earned a perfect 60/60 score. The class isn't hard, but she didn't even look at her grade when she got it back. She just shoved it in her notebook and moved on. I've tried to talk to her once. I mean, she's REALLY cute, so I introduced myself and the whole conversation died pretty much instantly. I suck at flirting, mind you, but I didn't even get that far. I didn't get a salty vibe from her or anything. She was more hidden and reserved almost as though she prefers to be alone. And I want to know why. I'm really interested in her and I don't know why either.

This is a hard question. Like, I spent days thinking on it. I've read many books and I honestly can't remember out of the top of my head. But the most recent couple that's still fresh in my mind is Jackson and Holly in Julie Cross's Tempest series. Jackson had to grow as a character and from that growth he realizes his mistakes and what he should have done in his relationship with her in the past. JAckson isn't too fond of the word or even the emotion of love, but he can't deny the fact that he really loves her. Having witnessed her murder in a different timeline did that to him. Throughout the series it shows that love transcends through time and timelines. It's something I'd like to believe.

I would say that I was told I use too many commas. I use a certain style that uses commas like "breath marks" in music. But as the audiobook production is coming along, I find many areas where I've used commas where it doesn't really need it, even with using it as a "breath mark". So you can expect a 7th edition to be the final edition with all the errors fixed and less commas while sticking to that style. :)

Honestly, I have no clue. It just kind of developed when I started writing whatever I felt like. And I kept adding and developing it more. And it became what it is today. And the sequel, well daydreaming helped alot. I already have planned what will happen in book three. and maybe even book 4 ;P
But for a completely different book idea, I actually got a week ago while I was bored in history class. It suddenly hit me, and then I wrote it down on my notebook instead of lecture notes.

That I have my name forever immortalized in the web now. The ancient Greeks believed in earning kleos. I believe I just gained some now :D

Basically.... I just sit and stare at the screen for an hour or two before I call up one of my friends to take my mind off writing.

If you think your book sucks, disregard that feeling and keep writing and don't stop until you finish the story. Then start editing to make it better. Problem solved. :)
