Quote by Zeke Faux

“Sanders said that it was easy to open exchange accounts using false identification.  He'd signed up for accounts of his own under the name "Taylor Swift".  As verification, he'd sent in a photo of himself in drag, wearing a blond wig, heavy blue eye shadow, and a glittering dress, which displayed his abundant chest hair.  He said crooks who prefer not to dress in drag can buy accounts registered by other people for as little as $20.”

“The number one mistake in rhyming texts is when the rhyme overwhelms the story rather than serving the story. The monotony of a 32-page story all told in the same rhythm can wear a reader down after a few pages. As an editor, I often start these submissions thinking, “Okay, let’s see if this can be sustained . . .” and after a few stanzas say, “Oh please stop. I can’t do this anymore.” The sing-song-y-ness of “dah-duh dah-duh dah-duh, dah-dah” in line after line pummels a reader with sameness. It also encourages authors to make terrible word choices: odd or forced descriptions or line endings because that last word HAS. TO. RHYME. My test: Extract a line out of your rhyming text and ask yourself if you’d write it the same way if it DIDN’T have to rhyme. If the answer is no, it’s a bad line. The rhyming has to feel effortless."

“One of the hardest things you will ever have to go through is the death of a child. The second hardest thing you will ever have to go through is having a child die at Christmas time. The third hardest thing you will ever have to go through is telling your child that their friend and family member has passed away. The bittersweet moment that pulls you through it all is when your child says, "Mom don't cry. They're okay because they are with God now and they promise not to leave until they help you get through this.”

“I feel like I've said this a hundred times, but it needs to be said again. There's something wrong with you.' He lifted his shoulder in a half-shrug. 'Some believe there's something wrong with all of us, and I tend to believe that.' 'I didn't realise you were so philosophical.' I glanced at the knife on the floor while he emptied the basin into a bucket. There was no way he'd forgotten that I had it, or that it lay there now. Was he waiting to see what I would do? 'There's a lot you don't realise about me,' he replied...”

“Okay, I-I think we're good, now," Felix said, peering back the way they'd come. "We-" "Wife?" Vess asked, sharply. "Bold of you, Lord Navarre." "Oh," he chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah, sorry, it was-" "Mother?" Zara said, even more acerbically. "It was the first thing I could think of!" Felix said, frowning at the warbling giggle he felt through his bond. "Shut it, you. Everyone's a critic, even my magic bird-dog. We got in, and that's what matters, right?" Vess and Zara exchanged cryptic looks and, as one, began walking down the alley. Pit trilled in joyfully, high and loud across their bond. "What? It worked!”
