I am a reader of all things wordy, ghost writer, movieholic, and extreme chocolate junkie that enjoys living in quiet seclusion with her ever growing family.

Book openings that have stayed with me:
"Lestat here. You know who I am? Then skip the next few paragraphs. For those whom I have not met before, I want this to be love at first sight."
Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice
"Kaye took another drag on her cigarette and dropped it into her mother's beer bottle. She figured that would be a good test for how drunk Ellen was—see if she would swallow a butt whole."

Tithe, A Modern Faerie Tale by Holly Black
"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, an what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them."

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Sallinger
"Around midnight, her eyes at last took shape. The look in them was feline, half determined and half tentative. All trouble. Yes, they were just right, those eyes."

Random stuff that inspires me:
Chocolate
Stormy weather
The smell of rain as it hits the hot asphalt
Listening to My Chemical Romance
Sunflowers
Aimless drives with a friend
And was chocolate mentioned yet?
Yeah, that inspires me a lot.
There is no such thing as too much chocolate in my mind.
