Why Prismatic Took Me TEN Years to Write
The experts say writing a book should take a writer one to two years to do. It took me ten. And why did it take me so damn long? Because I'm not only a crazy perfectionist, but I'm insanely driven by getting the story JUST right.
Not to mention:
- I didn't know what the hell I was doing at first.
- Writing is like, really, really, hard. Finding just the right words means editing, deleting, revising, Read more of this blog post »

| 2.8 stars. It was just okay. It didn't grip me the way I wanted it to. The characters were sweet and the town reminded me of Stars Hollow from the Gilmore Girls, but it just didn't have that thing you look for that has you on the edge of your seat. ...more | |

| High points and very, very low points describe this book. It's gruesome and unsettling. It has some VERY tiresome plot points at times. Now that I've finished it I understand the direction the author was going and it had a sweet ending, but I'm not c ...more | |

“Though she be but little, she is fierce!”
― A Midsummer Night’s Dream
― A Midsummer Night’s Dream
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

“Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it, and that is how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.”

“If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.”
