After I write that scene, I might be able to go back and fill in the blanks from when I developed the writers' block. Also, go back and look more into developing my characters - well-developed characters are key to writing an enticing romance.(less)

Do you ever get frustrated when you watch a movie or read a book and you hate the ending. You might think, "I would not have ended the story that way." When you write a book, you don't have the problems since YOU decide how you want your story to play out.(less)

Topics Mentioning This Author

“Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count.”
Jack Dawson

“Give me neither poverty nor riches but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, "Who is the Lord?" Or I may become poor and steal and so dishonor the name of my God.”
Anonymous, Holy Bible: New International Version

Margaret Walker
“When I was about eight, I decided that the most wonderful thing, next to a human being, was a book.”
Margaret Walker

Julian Barnes
“Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.”
Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot

Philip Pullman
“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
Philip Pullman
