Then what is there for you? What is there for you if he does not love you?” Nothing.
Maybe Cinderella was the bad guy in the story, and her stepsisters were just nerdy girls who wanted a boyfriend. How politically correct was it, really, to make the villains ugly? And how realistic? In my experience, it was usually the pretty people who were mean to the ugly ones, not the other way.
I remember how Talia got me to talk about the gardening thing. I’ve never told anyone else about that, but with this girl, I sort of feel like I can be myself without worrying about looking uncool. After all, she doesn’t even know what “cool” is.
Love is Never Ugly.
Our incomes are like our shoes; if too small, they gall and pinch us, but if too large, they cause us to stumble and to trup.
This has been a crazy day, a crazy week, a crazy world.
I am a princess. I do not follow fashions – I make them.
Good to know: Doctors can’t cure you of being a beast.
I was a lawyer for about ten years. The law teaches one to see things from all different angles.
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.
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.
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.
I wrote poetry, journals, and, especially, plays for the neighborhood kids to perform. I had an ordinary, happy childhood. Nothing much was going on, but I had fun.
People make such a big deal about looks, but after a while, when you know someone, you don’t even notice anymore...
A beautiful thing is precious no matter the price.
Seem like a lot of people wear shoes they can’t walk in.
Something with inner beauty will live forever, like the scent of a rose.
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.
I enjoy people who aren’t afraid to say what they mean. It makes life so much easier!
Any experience that isn’t fun is probably something I will at least use in my writing someday.
