Be Still
In my first book, the main character, Walt Stewart, is infatuated with the new girl in town. So when she shows up to church on Sunday, he naturally can't keep his eyes (and mind) off of her. Or, at least, he couldn't keep his mind off her until my publisher told him to pay attention and sit up straight. LDS novels, they told me, are very often read by youth, and the novels' main characters become role models. And, since the last thing we want is for our youth to think about girls during sacrament meeting, then Walt couldn't either. So, I changed a couple sentences to make him a little more upstanding, and thus the youth were saved!

Top 10 Nintendo Romances of All Time#
There’s a lot to be said for romance as metaphor, and nowhere is that metaphor stronger than in Tetris. The game series that represents the sum total of all Russian creation — past, present and future — is won and lost based on the player’s ability to fit differently shaped blocks together. It’s a task that seems insurmountable, especially as things keep moving faster and faster but it, like love in the face of a world that will not stop, somehow happens. The pieces do fit, different as they all may seem, just as love endures.

I find his insistence that each shape is constructed by hand very amusing. Those who can program do, and those who can't spend 2 years monkeying around in Illustrator.
