1 " You can't write a story until you've felt it. Breathed it in. Walked with your characters. Talked with them. That's why you come here. To live your story. "
― Angelica Banks , Finding Serendipity (Tuesday McGillycuddy, #1)
2 " Figs are delicious with soft cheese and ham, Toast is quite scrumptious with butter and jam,Eggs are improved by parsley and salt, But milkshakes are best with strawberries and malt. "
3 " The butter from Dorothy's' crumpetDripped into the bell of her trumpet.Sweet young Edgar, eating Jell-O,Dropped a spoonful onto is cello. "
4 " A story is like a giant jigsaw puzzle, a jigsaw puzzle that would cover the whole floor of a room with its tiny pieces. Buts it's not that sort of puzzle that comes with a box. There is no lid with a picture on it so that you can see what the puzzle will look like when it's finished. And you have only some of the pieces. All you can do is keep looking and listening, sniffing about in all sorts of places, until you find the next piece. And then you'll be amazed where that next piece will take you. Suddenly your puzzle can have a whole new person in it, or it can go from being on a train to a hot air balloon, from city to country, from love to sadness to loneliness and back to love. Pieces can come to you at any time. When you're having a cup of tea or sitting on a bus or talking with a friend.it will be like a bell going off in your head. That's what comes next you'll think. And that's why it's serendipity. Serendipity is luck and chance and fate all tumbled into one. "
5 " After all, as they would sometimes remind one another, the most important thing about a house was not how big it was, but how many stories it had. "
6 " When you get home, it’s easy to forget that this world even exists.You get on with all the other stuff, and life goes by.Before you know it, you just lose the plot and your book never gets finished. "
