For me, Eden Crowne, occult thriller author and slightly crazy person, Inspirational Quotes do not have to be nice. Or particularly inspirational. Or quotes.
Mostly, I want a bunch of words combined in a way to make me laugh -- especially at myself -- or ironically, or in gleeful shame. Even better if they remind me of one of my characters, which means they kind of remind me of myself since I created that character out of MY head!
If you've read any of my books you know I have a wry sense of humor. Where I grew up in California there were many, many smart people with smart kids. You had to hold your own in a conversation and keep those quips and yes, sarcasm, coming. But you had to be able to take it as well as dish it out.
I'd like to share some of the random words thrown together by strange people that describe me or my characters.
"Ha ha ha," she laughs, the edge in her tone like a sharp knife...
Please, please send me some of your relatable quotes! I want to know! Show me!

 This is very important to keep in mind. Yes. |  My goal is to be like coffee. It should be yours, too. |
 Me at the end of the day or maybe 3 o’clock......  Honest,ly, each book takes a little more of my soul and holds it hostage. But it’s sort of a Stockholm Syndrome situation so it’s kinda okay....  Also, also me. I like to talk on the phone to my kids and...um...my kids. All others, let’s text, okay? Texting is awesome.  My personal mantra including the skull. Don’t just ‘Do It’.’ Figure out a way to do it better, dang it. This is from a clothing line I saw in Japan. |  Also me.....  This has been around a long time, I know. But it is so me and so Cali. To those socializing at Starbucks, we’re like, ‘Could you keep it down? People are working here!’  Yup, pretty much. Modern life. You better have research skills.  Me, last night. Except I had blankets and pillows.  Not all the time. In fact I like mornings, as long as they are on my terms. Meaning I am up and out the door with my laptop on the way to the coffee shop with minimal interaction. |
Those are just a few of the Me-isms.
I leave you with this. Don’t give up. Keep trying. You. Me, all of us, we matter! Laugh!
