Read things you love, things you hate, things that make you think and go, "Whoa. What the hell was that?" The more you read, the more you'll understand what works and what doesn't, and why. Plus, you'll get a feel for styles and flows that will make you want to sit down and write your own amazing stories.

Write for the joy of it. Write when you don't feel like it. Write often and honor every draft, good or bad or somewhere in between.(less)

I make up pretty much all of the town names in my books so I can take creative liberties, and I wanted a very evocative and visual name that also kind of summed up what the town has to offer. It's this random little nowhere place and about as exciting as a blue bottle, but it still has its beauty.(less)

Quotes by Julia Lynn Rubin  (?)

“He had it coming. Don’t waste your tears and cry for him. Don’t ever cry for a boy. Not even a dead one.”
Julia Lynn Rubin, Primal Animals

“I had her, if only for a little while. We kissed. We laughed. I felt love radiating through her. I tear a handful of clovers from the ground and squeeze them together, the green juices staining my fingers. It makes me so anxious, thinking of how fragile every relationship is. How someone can be right there with you one minute and then gone the next.

Or dead. I shudder.”
Julia Lynn Rubin, Primal Animals

“I pull her down to the dusty floor and kiss her hard and deep. She makes an urgent noise deep in her throat and moves to pull off my shirt. I unhook her bra as she cradles my hips in her hands. I kiss down her stomach, and together, on that dust-coated floor, we make our own kind of haunted love.

And it strikes me, on the floor of this abandoned mouth of a house, during the wildest Texas haboob known to man—violent wind crashing against the Victorian again and again like a smashing fist—that right now, I finally have everything I’ve ever wanted, even though the world is ending all around us.”
Julia Lynn Rubin, Trouble Girls

“My skin has turned to porcelain, to ivory, to steel.”
George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

“I recently spoke at a university where a student told me it was such a shame that Nigerian men were physical abusers like the father character in my novel. I told him that I had recently read a novel called American Psycho,and that it was a shame that young Americans were serial murderers.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

“Of course I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
Toni Morrison

“This is purgatory, played to a
soundtrack of pop music.”
