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.

More quotes by Alex Flinn
Although my other ambition was to be a musical theater star (and I would attend college on a voice scholarship), writing was never far from my mind.
Alex Flinn
It would be so great to have someone my own age to talk to, even if it was just about books.
Alex Flinn
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.

A beautiful thing is precious no matter the price

Alex Flinn
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
A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love-true love-is something else.
Alex Flinn
I was painfully shy, and I had tremendous difficulty making friends. So, lacking friends, I watched other people. Watching is something all writers must do, and it was in junior high that I learned to do it.
Alex Flinn
Maybe you actually do need to face obstacles with someone to know that they're the one you'd sacrifice for.
Alex Flinn
Something with inner beauty will live forever, like the scent of a rose.
Alex Flinn
You shouldn't miss someone who don't miss you, right?
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.
Alex Flinn
Those who do not know how to see the precious things in life will never be happy.

This isn't a fairy tale. It's New York City.
