I have been recognized in public but not that often, which is nice.
— Anna Todd
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.
I've come to find that I am definitely not cut out for the isolated writer thing, locking myself away and writing and bleeding over words alone. I'd rather share my pain with people.
I love Harry Styles. He's one of the nicest people in the entire world.
When you're watching 1D Youtube videos and going to their concerts and tweeting them, there's always a desire for more - and there's nothing like sitting down and spending time with them in the form of fan fiction.
Love fanfic or hate it, it's getting thousands of people to read and write who otherwise would not have.
I've been reading fanfiction before I even realized what fanfiction was.
Before I read 'Twilight,' I was in a reading funk. This series brought back my love and obsession for reading.
If you're a fan of One Direction, 2015 felt like one hit after another. Between Zayn leaving and the band announcing their hiatus, this was the year that Directioners would love to pretend didn't exist.
If you aren't talking to readers and letting them know you're just like them, they can lose interest.
When I love something, I love it all the way.
Reading was my escape growing up in Ohio. Both of my parents lost their jobs when I was a teen, and it was hard. But I always had my books. Reading gave me a way of living different lives.
Everyone knows 'Little Women.' Most women love it if they've read it. If they haven't, they might love the movie, or they've heard of it.
The only way I know how to write is socially and getting immediate feedback on my phone.
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.
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?'
I remember seeing stories on Wattpad with five million reads and thinking, 'That must be incredible.'
My husband is so proud of me. He's in the Army, so he doesn't get to travel much with me, but when I come home, he's the exact same, so it's really nice to have him so disconnected from all the other stuff so my life can still feel normal at home.
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.
I think I'm lucky, in a way, because with the criticism I get online, it's mostly from really young girls that are fans of One Direction, and they're kind of already known for being mean online. So the things that they insult me with are things that don't really bother me.
Fan fictions are an alternate universe.
I love writing, and I am one of the people who can do it and make a living.
I just wrote what I wanted to be reading.
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.
'The Giver' by Lois Lowry - I had to read this in school, and I fell in love with it. It was my favorite book as a child, and I read and reread it. I would pretend I lived in that world and that Asher was my best friend.
Zayn Malik is responsible for countless smiles, countless laughs; he's saved endless fans' lives.
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.
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.
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 had gone from writing alone, not talking to anyone, to suddenly being in a room filled with not only people but actual celebrities.
I love Harry Styles just as much as anyone, and I would never do anything that would hurt his feelings.
I want to work as hard as I can and continue to make a career for myself.
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.
I love 'Fifty Shades' and 'Twilight' both.
I love signing the books; it's so exciting to see my readers in person.
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 wrote a story about a character who looks like Harry Styles. But it has nothing to do with Harry Styles at all.
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.
Reading and writing isn't supposed to be this exclusive club; it's just supposed to be entertaining.
I had no idea how long books were supposed to be.
I had no idea what to expect when I first started writing.
I know most publishers probably don't let their authors write on Wattpad all the time, but mine are pretty open about it.
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.
Just write what comes to you.
I got married at 18 after dating my boyfriend for about a year. It was quick, I know. My husband joined the Army, and I thought I'd go to college. But we moved to Fort Hood for his job with no money, not even a car.
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'm so excited for readers to get their hands on 'The Spring Girls.'
Engage with your readers as often as you can. Readers, myself included, want a relationship with everyone in their lives, even the people behind the pages of their favorite books.
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.
Everyone should be free to love whomever they choose.
