In stories like Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, they always say the heroine is 'as good as she is beautiful.' I wondered if people just wanted that to be true, wanted the beautiful to be good. I wondered if they wanted the ugly to be bad because then they wouldn't have to feel bad for them.

A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love-true love-is something else.

I enjoy people who aren't afraid to say what they mean. It makes life so much easier!
Alex Flinn
Image
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.

Maybe you actually do need to face obstacles with someone to know that they're the one you'd sacrifice for.

Any experience that isn't fun is probably something I will at least use in my writing someday.
