“If I see you two doing anything funny behind me, I’ll stop the car and leave you on the side of the road,” I said before starting the car, looking at the way Dina and Kike were getting handsy with each other in the back seat. Four
years of relationship did little to quench their thirst for each other. A thirst I was forced to see while checking my rearview mirror. “I’m serious, no fingering in the car.”

“While filling the car trunk I counted ten bottles of wine, four bottles of gin, a bottle of rum, three six-packs of beer, and a bunch of fruit as Kike had decided that a vacation without sangria was not a real vacation. We looked like a carnival of alcoholics.”

“I told you, I’m awesome at everything,” he teased, putting the PS3 controller on the floor between us. “That includes video games.”
I watched as the character Wesley had been operating moved across the screen, doing some sort of odd victory dance. “Not fair,” I muttered. “Your sword was bigger than mine.”

“GIRL, write YOUR book dammit.
Who cares what people think?
If writers in the past cared what other people thought we'd still be glossing over 'inappropriate' kissing scenes.
Break the fucking rules.
Push yourself to the edge.
Show the world what YOU can do.
This is YOUR book. YOUR blood and guts.
AND, don't you EVER, EVER, write one single line for SOMEONE ELSE.”
