That'’s a way to increase the realism to the reader, if you want to get technical - you leave it [character] vague and you let the reader fill in the blanks with their imagination.

I have come to realize that destiny can hurt a person as much as it can bless him.

Some things definitely work better on film than in books. Introspection is great in books but it doesn't work on film. Anything with high intensity, whether it's a love scene, a car chase, a fight scene - those things work so well on film and oftentimes they can tell a much broader part of the story.

I tend to be pretty efficient with my time. I work on a novel for four to five hours a day, and then the rest of my day is spent doing other things, whether it's spending time with my family, or going through and making notes on the script, or working on the marketing. It's just a matter of scheduling.

Nicholas Sparks
Image
Love, after all, always said more about those who felt it than it did about the ones they loved.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other... I know I've spent every life before this one searching for you. Not someone like you but you, for your soul and mine must always come together.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
Absolutely not. I'm an expert in procrastination, but the last thing I want you to think is that I'm incompetent, too. Because I'm actually pretty good at what I do. -Jo

I've learned that memories can have a physical, almost living presence.

Maybe I’d like to be defined by what I am.

Nothing about this entire scenario made sense. But who cares? Once in a while, everyone was entitled to be a bit flaky, and now it was his turn.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
Love hurts. There is nothing as painful as heartbreak. But in order to learn to love again you must learn to trust again.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
You have a talent that comes from inside you, from your heart, not your fingers. What you have can’t ever go away. It’s what other people only dream about. You’re an artist.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
In all love stories the theme is love and tragedy, so by writing these types of stories, I have to include tragedy.

Mike, however, heard nothing at all. Lost in her breathlike touch, he knew only one thing for sure: In the instant their lips first met, there was a flicker of something almost electrical that made him believe the feeling would last forever.

Then you came along and helped me believe in myself again.
