I remember the first time I saw real stars, through the hatch window. They were beautiful then, but now, seeing them here, all around me, beautiful feels like an inadequate word. I see the stars as a part of the universe, and having spent my life behind walls, suddenly having none fills me with both awe and terror. Emotion courses through my veins, choking me. I feel so insignificant, a tiny speck surrounded by a million stars.A million suns.Centuries away is Sol. Circling around it is Sol-Earth, the planet Amy came from. And one of these other stars is the Centauri binary system, where the new planet spins, waiting for us.And here we are, in the middle, surrounded by a sea of stars.Any of them could hold a planet. Any of them could hold a home.But all of them are out of reach.","author":"Beth Revis","tags":["a-million-suns","across-the-universe","amy","atu-series","awe","choking","earth","elder","emotion","galaxy","home","out-of-reach","planets","sea-of-stars","stars","terror","universe","unreachable"],"id":76602,"author_id":"Beth+Revis"},{"text":"Don’t ask a writer what he’s working on.

He waded back toward me. “I’m starting to think my name is Pajamie.” “Your name should be Pajerky.

'You look hot.'What? Me?' I stammered, completely flummoxed.'Yeah,' he said, still looking at me.'Oh. Um, thank you. I mean, not that you don’t, but I’m not sure that you should—I mean …'Oh, no,' Roger said quickly, and I could see that he was blushing again. 'No. I mean—I meant what you’re wearing.

I speak specifically of the Amy of today, who was only remotely like the woman I fell in love with. It had been an awful fairy-tale reverse transformation. Over just a few years, the old Amy, the girl of the big laugh and the east ways, literally shed herself, a pile of skin and soul on the floor, and out stepped this new, brittle, bitter Amy. My wife was no longer my wife but a razor-wire knot daring me to unloop her, and I was not up to the job with my thick, numb, nervous fingers. Country fingers. Flyover fingers untrained in the intricate, dangerous work of solving Amy. When I'd hold up the bloody stumps, she'd sigh and turn to her secret mental notebook on which she tallied all my deficiencies, forever noting disappointments, frailties, shortcomings. My old Amy, damn, she was fun. She was fun. She made me laugh. I'd forgotten that. And she laughed, From the bottom of her throat, from right behind that small finger-shaped hollow, which is the best place to laugh from. She released her grievances like handfuls of birdseed: They are there, and they are gone.","author":"Gillian Flynn","tags":["amy","change","dangerous","love","misperception","wife"],"id":172586,"author_id":"Gillian+Flynn"},{"text":"I feel like Amy wanted people to believe she really was perfect. And as we got to be friends, I got to know her. And she wasn't perfect. You know? She was brilliant and charming and all that, but she was also controlling and OCD and a drama queen and a bit of a liar. Which was fine by me. It just wasn't fine by her. She got rid of me because I knew she wasn't perfect.","author":"Gillian Flynn","tags":["amy","breakups","control","drama-queen","friends","friendship","gillian-flynn","lack-of-understanding","lacking"],"id":196610,"author_id":"Gillian+Flynn"},{"text":"He pulled out a dagger from ...
