One of my favorite authors is Ellen Hopkins, author of Crank, Burned, Impulse, Glass, Identical, Tricks, and Fallout. This is how she answered the following question:
Q. How would you describe your life in only 8 words?
Ellen. Time voyage–false starts, choppy seas, safe harbors.
See what I mean. She’s awesome. Each word is like a shiny polished pearl that really tells you something important. Her books are exactly like that, spare and yet perfect. Something else I really enjoy about her works is her characters. They don’t read like characters in a novel at all…thy are as real as you and I..except they’re not. How does she do that!
