inspirational fear love-you
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.
girl love-is boys
A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love-true love-is something else.
rose forever inner-beauty
Something with inner beauty will live forever, like the scent of a rose.
believe hard-times empathy
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.
new-york cities fairy-tale
This isn't a fairy tale. It's New York City.
mean people easier
I enjoy people who aren't afraid to say what they mean. It makes life so much easier!
shoes people walks
Seem like a lot of people wear shoes they can't walk in.
beautiful people stories
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.
unexpected sometimes unexpected-things
Sometimes, unexpected things can happen.
book taken writing
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.
beauty people looks
People make such a big deal about looks, but after a while, when you know someone, you don't even notice anymore...
soul feelings beastly
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.
true-love cottages answers
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.
children mean ideas
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 . . .
