I'm not in the high school frame of mind when it comes to the writing world. Admittedly, that's a bit unfair, but let's be real: the publishing world is clique-y. Since it's important to make good impressions on future business associates, all you have to do to be reminded of what it…

  Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.   Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret – it leads only to evil. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope…

           The reason clichés stick around is because they contain truth expressed in interesting or amusing ways. Favorite word for something I like: Cool! Describe yourself in one word. (You know mine.) I'm actually stalling my reading of Vince Flynn's latest The Last Man because I don't want it to be over for another year. What's…
