Marie Lu Quotes
I am a hopeless pantser, so I don't do much outlining. A thought will occur to me, and I'll just throw it into the story. I tell myself I'll worry about untangling it later. I'm glad no one sees my first drafts except for my poor editor and agent.

Wait for the right opportunity, and turn down all the rest. It will make all the difference.
