Hearts are tough, Most times they don't break. Most times they are only bend

Rage-the biggest, truest rage of her adult life-had invaded her like a fever, but it wasn't like any fever she had known previously.

I still think that of all the people doing top fiction today, John D. MacDonald is the best.He was my model as a kid. If there are people out there that want to write, all you need to do is read 20 of his stories to get an idea what it takes to make a story kick over.

When your story is ready for rewrite, cut it to the bone. Get rid of every ounce of excess fat. This is going to hurt revising a story down to the bare essentials is always a little like murdering children, but it must be done.

Lying in the bed that had once held two, Lisey thought alone never felt more lonely than when you woke up and discovered you still had the house to yourself. That you and the mice in the walls were the only ones still breathing.
