I think this might be my last post here

Sigh. This will probably be my last post here. I haven't posted a single thing since last March, so. It's kinda sad. This blog is what helped me become the author I am today. I learned mountains and mountains of information from my fellow bloggers, many of whom remain my friends to this very day.

But people change, times change, and I have moved on.

Good news though, you can keep up with me and my Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by K.M. Walton  (?)

“I wanted you, precious reader, to feel the pain of the bullied, the neglected, the heartbroken, and the humiliated.”
K.M. Walton, Empty

“Our friendship would end if I was honest about the rape. She couldn’t handle what happened or knowing who raped me. And who his girlfriend is.

Or the unthinkable could happen: She wouldn’t believe me. Either way I know Cara would abandon me.

Popularity is finally in her grasp. Remain friends with the enormous, ugly, fat girl who was raped by the hottest guy in school or become friends with four of the prettiest, skinniest, most fashionable, and popular girls in school?

Truthfully, the choice is obvious. It’s sort of like being offered a bowl of shit or a bowl of ice cream.”
K.M. Walton, Empty

“Standing onstage with people cheering for me filled me with so much contentment, even more than any bag of chips or sandwich could.

I overflowed like a pot of spaghetti, bubbling with intensity, boiling over the stage. That was me. An intense, boiling pot of spaghetti.”
K.M. Walton, Empty

“The world was hers for the reading.”
Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.”
Joseph Addison

“A word after a word after a word is power.”
Margaret Atwood

“I read like a wolf eats.
I read myself to sleep every night.”
Gary Paulsen
