What happened to romance? Sappy, soppy longhand love letters.
Alex Flinn
People make such a big deal about looks, but after a while, when you know someone, you don't even notice anymore.
Alex Flinn
It would be so great to have someone my own age to talk to, even if it was just about books.

Something with inner beauty will live forever, like the scent of a rose.

I love you, I thought. But I didn't say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my face. She was far too kind for that. My fear was a greater one - that she won't say it back.

Anyone else feel like that? Like your life's a big act. Like you're trying to be a man when you're just a scared kid, trying to keep under control when you really want to scream, cry, or maybe hit someone. Ever feel like you're breathing underwater and you have to stop because you're gulping in too much fluid.
Alex Flinn
I have a great deal of empathy for anyone who's having a hard time. I believe this ability to see another's viewpoint has served me well as a writer.

True love would look a second time. True love would not be thwarted. True love would not accept no for an answer. He would search the world and certainly look again and again in every cottage in Euphrasia until he finds you.

I write contemporary fiction, and that is what my readers want to read.

Every girl pretends she is a princess at one point, no matter how little her life is like that.
Alex Flinn
That's what true love should be like-the person should be part of your soul and you should know what they're feeling all the time.
Alex Flinn
Sometimes, unexpected things can happen.
Alex Flinn
I am a princess. I do not follow fashions--I make them.

Any experience that isn't fun is probably something I will at least use in my writing someday.
Alex Flinn
You are right. I have no idea, and it is none of my business, and I was taught to obey my parents. But sometimes it is just impossible to obey blindly. Sometimes a child must strike out on her own. A child cannot be a child forever, whether that means not touching a spindle or . . . or . . .
Alex Flinn
Maybe we judge people too much by their looks because it's easier than seeing what's really important.
Alex Flinn
Good to know: Doctors can't cure you of being a beast.
Alex Flinn
The magic is over, but its effects will live forever.

Each of my books took roughly one and a half years to write. Some may have taken a shorter time to write the draft and a longer time to revise, while others were the opposite.
