Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

As a ranger, Aragon reminds me of my humble, rough, and strong husband who deeply cherishes the only woman he will ever love. Even if they were to be parted, Arwen is forever his light. I identify with the love that Arwen has for Aragon. She chooses mortality but will still outlive him by many years. Her unavoidable future grief is an easily acceptable fact for the time she spends with him. While other authors portray a love so strong that you would die for someone, I would endure life longer so that my husband will not ever feel the pain of losing me to the next world. (less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

I usually have to wait months at a time before I feel like I have a clear enough mental space to write.

While that response may not help you with your own blocks, perhaps this will. Imagine yourself as either a plotter or a typer. Plotters are authors who plan out every detail before sitting down. They imagine the character and how the obstacles shape the character on his or her journey before they put words to the page. Get over this block by beginning with the end in mind. Where does your character need to end up and what are some possible paths for getting there? I am more of a typer. I read a beautiful poem or related-genre of book and am suddenly inspired. I sit down and the story flows out on screen line by line. Getting over this block is mental. Go within your heart and meditate more to calm your mind. The typer gets into an energetic flow and simply lets the words FLOW.

All the best,
A Grace Martin(less)

To my students...

Dear Science 24 Students,

I love you. I really do love having each and every one of you in my class. I am sorry if I do not always show it. I am sorry if I get strick and stern on a daily basis, but please remember that I am fun on a daily basis, too. Sometimes I feel that I need to enforce strick rules in order for you to have the best learning environment possible. That doesn't mean that I do

Quotes by A. Grace Martin (?)

“You must learn that nobody can control everything in the flow of life,” said Dart. “Control is something we all strive for—but you will find, as you become more experienced with magic, that you gain more control over yourself by releasing your need to control life.”
― A. Grace Martin, Spirit Rider

“That is why the stone is so dangerous, Nabrie,” said Dart. “I would not see you too fall victim to its powers. Let us only hope that Fireskin has truly purified the stone, and not merely intensified the potential for evil that is in it. I fear the fire may only have fuelled the power of the spirits in its heart.”
― A. Grace Martin, Spirit Rider

“She could hardly believe what she was hearing. How could the man who had taken her from her home—the person she had trusted with her safety, her life, her whole future—suddenly abandon her, and expect her to fend for herself in a foreign kingdom?”

A.’s Quotes

“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.”
― Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom: Autobiography of Nelson Mandela

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
