I don't know how to pose or anything.

Fan fictions are an alternate universe.

I love 'Fifty Shades' and 'Twilight' both.

I had no idea how long books were supposed to be.

I didn't write a ton before 'After,' to be honest.

Everyone should be free to love whomever they choose.

I had no idea what to expect when I first started writing.

I have been recognized in public but not that often, which is nice.

I think flawed characters are important, because no one is perfect.

I'm so excited for readers to get their hands on 'The Spring Girls.'

I love signing the books; it's so exciting to see my readers in person.

I love Harry Styles. He's one of the nicest people in the entire world.

I have such admiration and respect for the military and military families.

I used to say that if I could get paid to read books, my life would be made.

I never had any thought behind anything I did in the beginning, to be honest.

I will never shy away from social issues in my books - or in my everyday life.

The only way I know how to write is socially and getting immediate feedback on my phone.

Honestly, I never dreamed of being a writer; it felt too unrealistic to even dream about.

It's good that I've put out different books apart from 'After' - and before the film comes out.

I was a struggling army wife going to community college who didn't know what to do with my life.

Zayn Malik is responsible for countless smiles, countless laughs; he's saved endless fans' lives.

Reading and writing isn't supposed to be this exclusive club; it's just supposed to be entertaining.

If you aren't talking to readers and letting them know you're just like them, they can lose interest.

I remember seeing stories on Wattpad with five million reads and thinking, 'That must be incredible.'

I love Harry Styles just as much as anyone, and I would never do anything that would hurt his feelings.

Love fanfic or hate it, it's getting thousands of people to read and write who otherwise would not have.

The idea of being published was such an abstract thing in the beginning. It wasn't even an option in my mind.

Before I read 'Twilight,' I was in a reading funk. This series brought back my love and obsession for reading.

I love telling 'first' stories - first loves, first college experience, first kiss, all of those kinds of things.

I wrote a story about a character who looks like Harry Styles. But it has nothing to do with Harry Styles at all.

I know most publishers probably don't let their authors write on Wattpad all the time, but mine are pretty open about it.

I think just... never date anyone who doesn't accept you, and don't change for them. They aren't going to change for you.

To me, basically, the whole meaning of 'Little Women' and what it conveys to me is the choice of being any kind of woman.

I had no clue what I wanted to do. I tried nursing, I tried science, I tried English. I just kept bouncing back and forth.

Chicago is my biggest base for U.S. readership. If I ask my readers where should I come, Chicago always has the most votes.

I am drawn to people who are like me - who have experienced the ups and downs of life but have come through the other side.

Being in a fandom is something you don't understand unless you're in one. I think it stems off of everyone wants more of something.

I had gone from writing alone, not talking to anyone, to suddenly being in a room filled with not only people but actual celebrities.

There's nothing like meeting a girl at a signing and her telling me that she loves reading now, and she's even writing her own stories.

When I signed my movie contract, I thought I could never even have an opinion on a movie. But now, I've realized I have a lot of opinions.

I'm inspired by the mission of Free2Luv; they are giving a voice to people who need it, and they are so passionate about what they stand for.

Everyone has an opinion, and it seems that the negative voices can be the loudest, but I chose to focus on the positive comments from readers.

Just for me - obviously, not all writers think this - but for me, I feel like seeing my book in Target and Barnes & Noble is pretty successful.

It's like, 'Twilight' was voted the worst movie of all time, and I'm like,'Can I please have the worst movie of all time? Please? Half of that?'

The Internet can help you come out of your shell and gives you a chance to make friends who have the same passion as you, it's a real community.

Since I don't outline my books very much, I feel like sometimes I don't have a choice in what the characters do; they just kind of take over sometimes.

I'm not writing about the 1 percent of people who have this fairy-tale, amazing life. I'm writing about people like me, who maybe had a rough childhood.

I barely ever reread the chapter before posting, because I overthink things, and I feel like overediting or trying to use too many words can ruin the story.

When I was a young girl, I used to dream about what I would be when I grew up. I thought that I wanted to be a nurse, then a teacher, even a pilot at one point.

The worst job I ever had was working in the call center of an electric company. I sat in a tiny cubicle getting yelled at every day so I could earn minimum wage.
