character writing manhattan
I decided that, if I were to write a teen series, I'd want to set it in a place that was familiar to me - Manhattan, where I'd grown up - and I'd model the characters on myself and my friends.
mother book character
I always resented books that tried to teach a lesson, where the characters are too good: They don't swear, they tell their mothers everything.
senior crazy said
You said she's a senior? Babe we're ALL crazy.
school high-school
I guess I was popular in high school.
girl fun lying
I avoid the young adult section altogether if possible, although it's sometimes fun to catch a girl lying on the floor, reading 'Gossip Girl.'
girl mom teenager
I'd never really babysat. I feel like I'm Blair, or 'Gossip Girl.' A teenager, basically - and now suddenly I'm a mom?
girl class messed-up
But I've always been fascinated with that prettiest-girl-in-the-class person that I never was, getting inside her head and showing that she's just as tormented and messed up as everybody else.
years negative done
When I was 16, 17, 18 years old, I felt like I had seen it all and done it all, and I was really kind of negative about everything.
beach smart holiday
Smart, truly hilarious, and entirely sympathetic. Like a hot bubble bath or a holiday at the beach, you won't want it to end.
nice mean thinking
She was doing that thing some people do when they act nice and chipper and interested, while just below the surface they’re thinking really mean thoughts, and you can never call them on it because they’d just accuse you of being paranoid.
reading book thinking
I'll tell you what I think. I think you need to stay indoors reading more books!
lambs slaughter wanted
But she'd wanted him there and there he was. A lamb ready for slaughter.
littles sometimes our-lives
Sometimes a b.f.f makes you go W.T.F but without them we'd all be a little less richer in our lives .
love-you gossip-girl mean
Just because we can't be together doesn't mean I don't love you
