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
I write contemporary fiction, and that is what my readers want to read.
Alex Flinn
Since I've written many of my books from a less-than-sympathetic viewpoint, I think that being able to see things from all sides is a useful talent.
Alex Flinn
A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love-true love-is something else.
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
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
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.
Alex Flinn
Maybe we judge people too much by their looks because it's easier than seeing what's really important.
Alex Flinn
Something with inner beauty will live forever, like the scent of a rose.
Alex Flinn
Good to know: Doctors can't cure you of being a beast.
Alex Flinn
What happened to romance? Sappy, soppy longhand love letters.
Alex Flinn
Sometimes, unexpected things can happen.
Alex Flinn
I enjoy people who aren't afraid to say what they mean. It makes life so much easier!
Alex Flinn
I was a lawyer for about ten years. The law teaches one to see things from all different angles.
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
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
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
A shoe that fits one person pinches another.
Alex Flinn
Seem like a lot of people wear shoes they can't walk in.
